My Department is proactive in ensuring that good performance on the transposition of Directives is consistently maintained. Within my Department, transposition is monitored through a customised intranet database which is used as a central management and information tool to track the implementation of Directives on an ongoing basis. This complements the central tracking and monitoring of transpositions carried out by the Department of the Taoiseach. Updates on transposition of directives are also provided to the Management Board of my Department.
A total of five Directives require to be transposed by my Department up to the end of 2015. A full list of the Directives to be transposed up to 2016 is set out below and is also available on the Department’s website at www.djei.ie.
