I move amendment No. 8:

In page 5, to delete lines 13 and 14.

This relates to the transit of goods through a territory, as I understand it. We have engaged with the Department on concerns that this could breach other rules. Again, we are looking for a moment of leadership from Ireland. However, I understand the constraints on the matter and that the derogation would not allow for it at the moment. Again, it comes from a desire to ensure Irish leadership. In the context of the current EU law and the fact that it may create tension, we will withdraw the amendment.
