Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 12 July 2018
293. Deputy Catherine Martin asked the Minister for Business, Enterprise and Innovation if the Carcinogens and Mutagens at Work Directive No. 2017/2398 that entered into force on 16 January 2018 will be transposed into law, thereby meeting the deadline for transposition in members states’ laws by 17 January 2020; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [31669/18]
View answerAs the Deputy is aware, the deadline for transposition of Directive 2017/2398 - the Carcinogens and Mutagens at Work Directive is 17 January 2020. Transposition will take place via a Statutory Instrument. At present the transposition of Directive 2017/164/EU is taking priority. I am satisfied that arrangements are in place within my Department to ensure that the Carcinogens and Mutagens at Work Directive will be transposed into Irish law by the required deadline.
