Directive 2003/87/EC sets out the categories of activities which are to be included in the EU emissions trading scheme. I am satisfied that the Directive has been properly transposed and is being implemented correctly in Ireland. Accordingly, I do not propose to extend the scope of the scheme to include additional activities.
