EU compliance with the Kyoto Protocol will be assessed on the basis of greenhouse gas emissions throughout the Community over the five-year commitment period 2008-12. I am confident that Ireland will meet its emissions target within the overall EU burden sharing agreement for purposes of compliance with the Protocol.
