To ask the Minister for Environment, Community and Local Government the steps he will take to ensure that non-ETS emissions targets for 2013 and 2014 under the EU's 2020 emissions reduction plan will be met; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [5076/13]

From the annual greenhouse gas emission and projection data published by the Environmental Protection Agency, I am satisfied that Ireland is on course to comply in 2013 and 2014 with the requirements of EU law on the effort of Member States to reduce their emissions in order to allow the European Union as a whole to meet its reduction commitments in the period to 2020.
