They explained that the failure to comply with the time-limit for implementation resulted from the decision taken by Ireland to combine the implementation of Directive 98/20 with that of Commission Directive 1999/28/EC of 21 April 1999 amending the Annex to Council Directive 92/14/EEC on the limitation of the operation of aeroplanes covered by Part II, Chapter 2, Volume 1 of Annex 16 to the Convention on International Civil Aviation, second edition (1988) (OJ 1999 L 118, p. 53). They also explained that a draft law, which they had communicated to the Commission, was being considered by the Office of the Attorney General and that it would be adopted very quickly.
