(2) In making regulations for the purposes of subsection (1), the Minister shall have regard to the laws of the European Communities governing State aid and any relevant guidance issued by the Commission of the European Communities, and may have regard, and may include such provisions relating, to such of the following as he or she thinks appropriate:

(vii) analyses presented by the Dublin Transportation Office or any national transport authority of existing and future transport planning and the associated supply and demand projections for land use,

(viii) any analysis by the Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources in relation to the potential rise in energy and other costs due to the long-term decline in non-renewable resources,

(ix) the specification, for the purposes of the determination of the long-term economic value of particular parcels of land, of a fraction by which the long-term economic value determined by NAMA shall not exceed the market value of each such parcel,

(x) the specification, for the purposes of the determination of the long-term economic value of all land held as security in acquired portfolios, of a fraction, by which the long-term economic value of that land shall not exceed its total market value;

(b) with reference to the long-term economic value of bank assets—

(i) the long-term economic value of property,

(ii) the net present value of the anticipated income stream associated with bank assets of that kind,

(iii) in the case of rental property, current and projected vacancy rates,

(iv) loan margins,

(v) an appropriate discount rate to reflect NAMA’s cost of funds plus a margin that represents an adequate remuneration to the State that takes account of the risk in relation to the bank assets acquired by NAMA,

(vii) any ancillary security such as personal guarantees and corporate assets, and

(viii) fees reflecting the costs of loan operation, maintenance and enforcement;

(i) matters to be derived, used, applied, taken into account or not taken into account;

(ii) the values to be attributed to any matters or the adjustments to be made in or by virtue of their application;

(vii) the extension of the maturity date of any bank asset for such period as NAMA considers appropriate after its actual maturity to allow a reasonable period for its management and enforcement;

(viii) the types or classes of property in respect of which the market value shall be deemed to be the long-term economic value.

(3) Every regulation made under subsection (1) shall be laid before each House of the Oireachtas as soon as may be after it is made and, if a resolution annulling the regulation is passed by either such House within the next 21 days on which that House has sat after the regulation is laid before it, the regulation shall be annulled accordingly, but without prejudice to the validity of anything previously done under the regulation.
