I can inform the Deputy that my Department, in accordance with EU Directive 2000/84/EC, compiled and communicated submissions in respect of this issue to the European Commission from a number of relevant Departments and semi-state bodies in July, 2007. I can also advise the Deputy that there are no plans to change the present summer-time arrangements.
