HC Deb 17 September 2004 vol 424 cc1828-9W
Mr. Brady

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will list the EU directives outstanding without implementation(a) over two years, (b) over three years, (c) over four years and (d) over five years for each member state. [189520]

Mr. MacShane

The European Commission is responsible for monitoring and enforcing the implementation of Directives in EU member states. The best available data on member states progress in implementing Directives is therefore available on the Commission's own website at: http://www.europa.eu.int/comm/secretariat_general/sgb/droit_com/pdf/mne_country_20040831_en pdf).

The European Commission's Single Market Scoreboard also records implementation relating to the Internal Market. The full text of the latest Internal Market Scoreboard is at: http://www.europa.eu.int/comm/internal_market/score/index_en.htm.
