291 Mr. Haughey asked the Minister for the Environment and Local Government the proposals, if any, he has to cut motor tax having regard to EU harmonisation policies; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [14924/99]
If the Deputy's question relates to vehicle excise duty, commonly referred to as motor tax, I have no proposals for the alteration of motor tax rates. There are no EU directives or other requirements relating to the harmonisation of motor tax rates between member states.
