My Department is responsible for one EU Directive that is overdue for transposition. This is Directive 2010/64/EU on the right to interpretation and translation in criminal proceedings, for which the transposition due date was 27 October 2013. Regulations to give formal effect to the Directive are being finalised and I expect to be in a position to bring these into force shortly.
