The 14 Directives to be transposed into national law for which my Department has responsibility are set out in the following schedule. Directive 2006/130/EC on animal remedies, Directive 2005/36/EC on professional qualifications in veterinary medicine for veterinary practitioners, Directives 2007/40/EC and 2007/41/EC on plant health will all be signed shortly. In all other cases I intend to have the Directives implemented by the due date.
