View answerEnabling provisions to facilitate implementation of European Parliament and Council Directive 2000/53/EC on end-of-life vehicles were incorporated in the Protection of the Environment Act 2003. My Department has been in ongoing communication with the EU Commission about the transposition of the directive into national legislation. It is intended to make regulations as soon as possible fully transposing the directive provisions and facilitating its full implementation in 2005.
