Question 155: To ask the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will provide details of the value of Coillte forestry under the European Union emissions trading scheme; and the value of any potential mining rights, fishing rights and hunting rights on Coillte owned lands. [20244/11]

While forestry units are used for national compliance with greenhouse gas emission reduction targets, they cannot be used under the EU emissions trading scheme. I understand that, under Irish Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), there is no value included in the Coillte Group Annual Accounts for the other assets to which the Deputy refers.
