European travel card

Does anyone know when the new European travel card is coming out? It was advertised as been issued in mid July but I have not seen any mention of it after searching the internet, just old news items from January.

In January the Minister launched the Passport Card and gave the target date of availability as July 2015. However to improve the durability of the card it was necessary to alter the polycarbonate structure of the card. This will mean that the card issued to the public meets the highest international standards of polycarbonate cards. It has led to a slight lengthening in the time it is taking to manufacture the card and the new target date of issue now mid to end September.
