127 Mr. Haughey asked the Taoiseach the number of petrol chainsaws, electric chainsaws, walk-behind petrol lawn mowers, lawn tractor mowers with rear engine and lawn tractor mowers with front mounted engine imported in 2005; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [10262/06]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe goods classification of the European Union — the combined nomenclature CN — does not distinguish various types of lawn mowers and chainsaws in the manner requested by the Deputy. However, Table 1 as follows gives the descriptions of these goods that are currently available at CN level, while Table 2 identifies the units of each of these commodity types imported during 2005. For comparative purposes data for 2004 are also provided.
