Each Department is responsible for providing information, reasoned opinions and letters of formal notice concerning the implementation of EU directives. With regard to the Department of the Taoiseach, no directives or regulations are overdue for implementation which fall within the responsibility of this Department. This Department is not dealing with any warnings or any other such notifications from the European Commission. The Minister of State with responsibility for European affairs chairs the interdepartmental committee on European affairs which monitors the transposition of EU directives. In this context, he continues to take action to improve the effectiveness of our national efforts to implement EU legislation.
