(4) The Renewable Energy Roadmap demonstrated that at least a 20% target for the overall share of energy from renewable sources and a 10% target for renewable energy in transport would be appropriate andwould be achievable, as an objectives, and that a framework that includes mandatory targets should provide the business community with the long term stability it needs to make rational investment decisions in the renewable energy sectorove towards a renewable energies based economy.

Recital 10
(10) By contrast, it is appropriate for the 10% target for renewable energy in transport to be set at the same level for each Member State in order to ensure consistency in transport fuel specifications and availability. Because transport fuels are traded easily, Member States with low endowments of the relevant resources will easily be able to obtain renewable transport fuels from elsewhere. While it would technically be possible for the Community to meet its biofuel target solely from domestic production, it is both likely and desirable that theWhile it is likely that the renewable energy targets will in fact be met through a combination of domestic production and imports. To, in this endcontext, the Commission should monitor the supply of the Community market for biofuels, and should, as appropriate, propose relevant measures to achieve a balanced approach between domestic production and importsrenewable energies, including biomass for energy, taking into account the development of multilateral and bilateral trade negotiations as well as environmental, and social costs, energy security and other considerations.

Recital 57
(57) Since the general objectives of achieving a 20% share of renewable energies in the Community's overall energy consumption and a 10% share of biofuels in each Member State's transport petrol and diesel consumption by 2020, cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States and can therefore, by reason of the scale of the action, be better achieved at Community level, the Community may adopt measures, in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity as set out in Article 5 of the Treaty. In accordance with the principle of proportionality, as set out in that Article, this Directive does not go beyond what is necessary in order to achieve thoseat objectives.
