Ceist:

424 Mr. Barry asked the Minister for Agriculture and Food if he will outline the EC legislation in his Department which has not been implemented; when he intends to implement this legislation; and whether it must be in place before 1993.

Minister for Agriculture and Food (Mr. Walsh)

Details of the EC legislation for which the Department of Agriculture and Food is responsible and which has not yet been implemented are set out in the following tabular statement. Implementation of such legislation is normally done by means of Statutory Instrument and preparation of the necessary instruments is well in hand. It is expected that all the EC legislation listed except those marked with an asterisk which have implementation dates in 1993, will be implemented by the end of 1992.
