Mr. Simon Murtagh:

I agree with the Chair absolutely. It is obvious. Fossil fuel advertising is the tobacco advertising of the present. We are going to look back on this and ask why we did not ban this much more quickly. Last year, there was a European Citizens' Initiative, which is a petition-based initiative, that did not go forward. That might be a model to look at. In our report their are sources cited on how to tax specific consumption items, which is a bit different from those high-emitting luxury goods. If that was something this committee could do, we would certainly support it.
