Details of the infringements on these 3 overdue EU Directives are outlined below.

1 Infringement Number 2010/0513 (relating to Directive 2009/149/EC amending Directive 2004/49/EC regarding Common Safety Indicators and common methods to calculate accident costs). Proceedings were notified to the Department on 15 July 2010. The draft regulations covering the Directive are being finalised to reflect comments received in my Department's consultation with interested parties. A copy of the draft regulations was sent to the European Commission on 9 September 2010.

2 and 3. Infringement Number 2010/0673 and 2010/0675 (relating to Directives 2008/57/EC and 2009/131/EC on the interoperability of the rail system within the Community). Proceedings were notified to the Department on 17 September 2010. Draft regulations transposing both Directives have been forwarded to the Railway Safety Commission for their advice on technical aspects, in advance of finalising the regulations.
