Eamon Ryan (Dublin South, Green Party)

It is right to do it that way, to take in the evidence and listen to what people are saying. My understanding of the European Parliament's position, which is one I support, is that it is still supportive of the proposed target of 10% renewable energy in transport by 2020. It is very important to highlight that this involves not just bio-fuels but includes electricity. It is right to hold to that target because in its absence, the overall renewable energy target would not be met and the overall climate change package would run into difficulties.
