Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport
Scrutiny of EU Legislative Proposals
Mr. Ronan Gallagher:
I do not know because it is in a different area. We can try to include it in our response. All these points under Fit for 55 cut across agriculture, energy, finance, tax, transport and housing. They are moving at different speeds. The transport element is moving much faster than some of the others, especially the more complicated ones. What the Deputy is asking about is in the more complicated batch. They have a long way to run. There are issues around tax. The decision-making framework is different, the nature of the negotiations will be different and the obligations on member states are different. In each file, the dynamics are different but together they form a package. I will try to find more information for the Deputy and feed it through the Department to the committee.
