Amendment No. 5 is inserted for further clarity purposes regarding the value of each bio-fuel certificate to each litre of bio-fuel to ensure compliance with the obligation. Amendments Nos. 6 and 7 are made for further clarity purposes as a follow-up on amendment No. 5. The subsequent amendments Nos. 14 to 25, inclusive, are consequential technical amendments arising from the insertion of amendment No. 5. These amendments are brought forward on the basis of contacts with the industry which raised a question on the extant draft being open to interpretation. The amendments are designed to remove that doubt and I propose that they be accepted on that basis.
