Amharc ar fhreagraThe preliminary drafting of a statutory instrument to transpose Directive 2003/105/EC is currently taking place in the Health and Safety Authority. Following clearance by the Health and Safety Authority's legislation and guidance sub-committee the draft will be forwarded to me for final legal settlement. My intention is to transpose the Directive 2003/105/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 December 2003 amending Council Directive 96/82/EC on the control of major accident hazards involving dangerous substances on time.
