HC Deb 17 July 2003 vol 409 c582W
Mr. Bercow

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will list the EU directives implemented by the Department since 8 June 2001. [126596]

Mr. MacShane

The Foreign and Commonwealth Office plays a coordinating role in the UK's EU policy. It is rarely directly responsible for implementing EC directives. I am not aware of any directives on which the Foreign and Commonwealth Office has led on implementation since 8 June 2001.
