View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 390 and 391 together.
I am advised by Revenue that palm oil mill effluent (POME) and hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) are not specifically identified within the Combined Nomenclature (CN) codes used for classifying third country imports. Furthermore, Revenue does not have access to data on imports originating from within the European Union. Therefore, it is not possible to provide the specific tax revenue figures requested for these products for the years in question.
