I thank the Minister for his presentation, setting out his priorities during the Presidency and reporting back on the outcome of the Doha conference. He has said the European Union is still a leader and consensus builder in the international climate change process. We will assume the EU Presidency on 1 January and the Minister will head the Environment Council.

I recall that there was to be a roadmap in the climate change Bill. At this point we should have the heads of that Bill which we were meant to have received by the end of the year.
