622. Deputy Pearse Doherty asked the Minister for Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht the legislative measures, including heads of Bills, from her Department which have been sent to EU institutions before their publication for the period of the Thirty-second Dáil; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [4245/19]
View answerI am advised that, during the period of the Thirty-second Dáil, my Department has not had cause to send any items of primary legislation, including heads of Bills, to EU institutions before publication.
For completeness, I would advise that my Department has recently sent two Draft Statutory Instruments to the European Commission. These are drafted under the European Communities Act 1972 and are respectively designed to give effect to relevant provisions of:
- Regulation (EU) No 511/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 April 2014 on compliance measures for users from the Nagoya Protocol on Access to Genetic Resources and the Fair and Equitable Sharing of Benefits Arising from their Utilization in the Union; and
- Regulation (EU) No 1143/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 October 2014 on the prevention and management of the introduction and spread of invasive alien species.
