Protection of the Environment Bill 2003: Committee Stage.
2:30 pm
Martin Cullen (Waterford, Fianna Fail)
I am not being facetious. I take the Senator's point on the Bill's definition of an emission limit value. The EPA will be required under the new Part IV to include emission limit values in IPPC licensing conditions. In practice, the EPA is generally doing this already. Obviously, therefore, it has a measuring system available to it. We could insert a more intelligible definition only to find ourselves out of step with the EU directive.
