Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 1 July 2015
69. Deputy Eamonn Maloney asked the Minister for Finance if his Department has been involved in consultations on the renewal of the agreement between the European Union and a company (details supplied) due to expire in July 2016; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [26459/15]
Amharc ar fhreagraI am advised by the Revenue Commissioners that they have not been involved in any consultations with the company concerned concerning the possible renewal of the agreement in question. I understand that the European Commission has had exploratory talks with the company but that no decision has been made as yet on whether or not to enter into formal negotiations on a new agreement.
A determination as to whether or not to renew or extend the agreement will be made after the European Commission has reported back on its initial engagement in that regard with the company.
