I move amendment No. 37:

In page 19, between lines 9 and 10, to insert the following:

"(f) when providing advice under subsection (1)(a), the Advisory Council shall express a view as to-

(i) the respective contributions towards meeting the annual targets and the domestic effort target that should be made-

(I) by the traded sector of the economy,

(II) by the other sectors of the economy,

(ii) the respective contributions towards meeting the annual targets that should be made by-

(I) energy efficiency,

(II) energy generation,

(III) land use,

(IV) transport.(g) when providing advice under this subsection, the Advisory Council may also express a view as to any other matter that body considers appropriate including, in particular, as to any sectors of the economy in which there are particular opportunities for contributions to be made towards meeting annual targets through reductions in emissions of greenhouse gases,

(h) when providing advice under this subsection, the Advisory Council shall also express a view as to the cumulative amount of net emissions for the period 2010-2015 that is consistent with a reduction over that period of net emissions accounts which would allow the 2050 target to be met.".
