Brian Lenihan Jnr (Dublin West, Fianna Fail)

I move amendment No. 39:

In page 139, line 15, to delete "Minister" and substitute "Minister for Finance".

This amendment is required to correct a drafting error. Section 91 introduced a long amendment to Part 2 of the Finance Act 2001 arising from the implementation of a new EU directive on general arrangements for excisable products which takes effect from April fool's day this year. The primary purpose of the directive is to provide a legal basis for the new computerised excise movement control system.
