My Department has been reconfigured on several occasions over the time period referenced by the Deputy. In view of this, the information sought by the Deputy is not readily available and its compilation would involve a disproportionate amount of time.
In relation to the current position, the Deputy may wish to note that there are no cases where fines have been levied or are being paid resulting from non-compliance with EU Directives by my Department.
The table below, relating to the last 5 years, sets out information on Directives which have yet to be fully transposed.
Directive
|
Current Position on Transposition
|
Directive 2019/944/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council on common rules for the internal market for electricity and amending Directive 2012/27/EU
|
The vast majority of the Directive has now been transposed, with work on the remaining elements at an advanced stage.
|
Directive 2011/92/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council on the assessment of the effects of certain public and private projects on the environment
|
The Department is currently finalising the transposition of the Directive, and has already given effect to the EIA Directive on an administrative basis where provisions have not yet been transposed.
|
Directive 2018/2001/EU on the promotion of the use of energy from renewable sources
|
It has not been possible to achieve a full transposition of the Directive prior to the prescribed deadline of 30 June 2021;. The Directive has been partially transposed.
My Department continues to progress the steps necessary to give full effect to the Directive. A third statutory instrument is at an advanced stage of completion; this statutory instrument will cover several additional articles in the Directive.
|
Directive 2018/2002/EU on Energy Efficiency
|
The Directive has been substantially transposed but there are some provisions. This is being progressed as a priority and it is expected the remaining transposing legislation will be in place this year.
