Written Answers. - EC Directives.

Eamon Gilmore

Ceist:

246 Mr. Gilmore asked the Minister for the Environment if, in relation to the areas for which his Department has responsibility, he will give details of the number of EC Directives, by number and title, which have been implemented in Ireland by way of statutory instruments since Ireland became a member state; if, in relation to each directive implemented, he will give details of the variation/amendment/differences there are in each statutory instrument compared to the original directive; and the number of directives, by number and title, which have not been implemented by way of statutory instruments.

Minister for the Environment (Mr. M. Smith)

It would not be practicable, having regard to the inordinate commitment of staff time and resources that would be involved, to compile the information requested, much of which is to be found in the six-monthly report to the Oireachtas on Developments in the European Communities.
