EU Directives (Hansard, 8 July 2002)

§ Mr. Bercow
To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills if she will list the EU directives relating to her Department which have been(a) amended and (b) repealed in 2002. [64938]

§ Margaret Hodge
My Department is currently working on legislation to amend the implementing regulations for directive 92/51/EEC. This has arisen out of directive 2001/19/EC which makes various amendments to several European directives relating to recognition of qualifications. The implementation date of directive 2001/19/EC is 1 January 2003.
No other EU directives have been amended in 2002, and none has been repealed.

§ Mr. Bercow
To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills if she will list the EU directives and regulations that have been implemented through her Department in 2002; and what was the cost of each to public funds. [64988]

§ Margaret Hodge
I refer the hon. Member to the reply I gave on 10 April 2002.
No EU directives or regulations have been implemented through my Department in 2002. There has therefore been no cost to public funds.
