All EC Directives issued since 1973 and relevant to this Department have been transposed and thus implemented into national legislation with the exception of Council Directive 2006/88/EC and those that were recently issued and not yet due for transposition. The outstanding Directive will be transposed shortly and it is intended that all recently issued Directives will be transposed and implemented on time. In view of the volume of Directives involved in the 35 years since 1973, I am not in a position to provide the Deputy with a list of the numbers and titles of those Directives. However, all such Directives are published in the Official Journals of the European Communities.
