There are currently a total of 13 EU Directives due to be transposed by my Department. One of these Directives is currently overdue: Directive 2006/123/EC on services in the internal market. This Directive will be signed into law by me very shortly.

My Department has received 27 Reasoned Opinions from the European Commission relating to Directives since 2002. These issues have all been settled apart from one remaining Reasoned Opinion received on 24 June 2010 regarding the non transposition of the Services Directive 2006/123/EC. Full details of the state of play of all current Directives due for transposition are maintained on the Department's website, www.deti.ie. The transposition of EU Directives is an ongoing priority in my Department and is reported to the Management Board on a regular basis.
