EEC insurance directives
The Minister said all required EEC insurance directives had been implemented except the Second Motor Insurance Civil Liability Directive, which fell to the Minister for the Environment.
asked the Minister for Industry, Trade, Commerce and Tourism when legislation will be introduced to implement the EEC Directives on insurance.
Comment on this
With one exception, all EEC insurance directives which we required to implement have been implemented.
As the Deputy is no doubt aware, the Minister recently signed regulations under the European Communities Act, 1972, giving effect to the First Life Assurance Directive. These regulations came into force on 14 March 1984.
The only directive which remains to be implemented is the Second Motor Insurance Civil Liability Directive. This is a matter for the Minister for the Environment to whom a separate question is addressed on the Order Paper.
