There is currently one EU directive awaiting transposition into law in my Department. The directive in question is Council Directive 2010/18/EU implementing the revised Framework Agreement on Parental Leave, concluded by BUSINESSEUROPE, UEAPME, CEEP and ETUC and repealing Directive 96/34/EC. The directive was published on 18th March 2010. Member States are required to bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this directive by 8 March 2012. The directive is currently being examined by my officials and I anticipate that it will be transposed by the due date.
