Nikki Kaye: What recent reports has the Minister received on the inclusion of agricultural emissions by other countries?
Hon Dr NICK SMITH: I have received reports today that Denmark had included having a price put on agricultural emissions, but has subsequently decided not to proceed with that because of the international competitiveness issues. I think that response and what is taking place internationally are matters that New Zealand needs to responsibly keep a brief on, so that we are not putting our key exporting industry at risk.
