I move amendment No. 21:

In page 61, to delete lines 11 to 14 and substitute the following: “(b) facilitate the efficient and economic development and operation of Dublin Airport,

(c) promote high-quality and cost-effective airport services at Dublin Airport, and

(d) take account of the policies of the Government on aviation, climate change and sustainable development.”,”.

Amendments Nos. 21 and 22 add Government policy on sustainable development as an objective that the regulator must take account of. The intention of this amendment is to make it clear that investments by the DAA that are related to the policy of Government on sustainable development will be reflected in the price determination. It is only right that this should be placed at the same level as economic development and cost-effective services. It also moves the need to consider Government policies on aviation and climate change to the same level.
