Chapter 9 - Greenhouse Gas-Related Financial Transactions: Discussion
8:30 pm
Mr. Gerry Brady:
It is a very difficult area and different approaches could be taken. To give an example in Ireland, we import a large amount of finished goods, for example, cars. The emissions associated with the manufacture of cars and aeroplanes that would be used in Ireland do not count against Ireland. They would be counted against where the steel and automobile manufacturing is located. There are swings and roundabouts.
