Dick Roche (Wicklow, Fianna Fail)

I do not accept that the Commission's approach to the transport allocation is correct. The national allocation plan, when read with the ICF Consulting-Byrne Ó Cléirigh report of 2006 which underpins it, very clearly sets out information on projections, policies and measures for the transport sector. These do not appear to have been fully taken into account. I held only a very brief conversation with the Commissioner but I will make that point. I will also draw the Commissioner's attention to the fact that the transport sector is clearly dealt with in Ireland's Pathway to Kyoto Compliance, which was drawn to the attention of the Commission following its publication.

In general, the Commission's response to Ireland's second national allocation plan was very positive.
