John Browne (Wexford, Fianna Fail)

Following reflection and consultation on the matter raised in amendment No. 10, I am of the view that such a translation may cause difficulties with the corresponding Northern Ireland legislation in that the title of the SEM committee must be uniform in both pieces of legislation to avoid any confusion. Additionally, the SEM committee will be a sub-committee of the Commission for Energy Regulation and not an independent statutory body in its own right. Accordingly, there is no legal requirement to translate the title of the committee in the legislation.
