No directives falling under the remit of my Department are overdue for transposition. There are, however, nine directives which have yet to be transposed. Two of these have deadlines for transposition in 2006 and four have 2007 deadlines.
The three remaining directives are Schengen-related measures and, as such, the deadlines for transposition apply to Schengen member states only. Ireland has successfully applied to operate certain elements of the Schengen arrangements and the relevant directives will be transposed in this context.
