Minister for the Marine and Natural Resources (Dr. Woods)

One directive is currently outstand ing within my Department. This is EC Directive No. 97/61 amending EC Directive No. 91/492 regarding the production and placing on the market of live bivalve molluscs. The deadline for implementation was 1 July 1998. Consideration is being given to the necessity for an S.I. to implement this directive.
