Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action
Scrutiny of EU Legislative Proposals
Mr. John Finnegan:
The ten-year period is not intended to be our ambition for this piece of legislation. The significance of the ten-year period at the time of the announcement was that it involved the period up to 2030. A lot of important work, including this Bill and work on climate change, will take place over the next ten years. It is certainly not our ambition for this individual piece. As my colleague, Mr. Ryan said, the presidency is pushing this very hard and it appears it will reach its next big milestone in Europe by the middle of this year.
