Amendment 63 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 2
(2) Promoting renewable forms of energy is one of the goals of the Union energy policy. The increased use of energy from renewable sources, together with energy savings and increased energy efficiency, constitutes an important part of the package of measures needed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and comply with the 2015 Paris Agreement on Climate Change, and the Union 2030 energy and climate framework, including the binding target to cut emissions in the Union by at least 40% below 1990 levels by 2030 . It also has an important part to play in promoting the security of energy supply, technological development and innovation and providing opportunities for employment and regional development, especially in rural and isolated areas or regions with low population density . , remote, isolated, geographically problematic areas or regions with low population density. Greenhouse gas emissions reductions are of critical importance but shouldn't compete with other environment protection goals.

Proposal for a directive
Recital 7
(7) It is thus appropriate to establish a Union binding target of at least 2735% share of renewable energy, to be accompanied by national binding targets. Member States should define their contribution topolicies for the achievement of this target as part of their Integrated National Energy and Climate Plans through the governance process set out in Regulation [Governance].

Proposal for a directive
Recital 8
(8) The establishment of a Union and national binding renewable energy targets for 2030 would continue to encourage the development of technologies which generate renewable energy and provide certainty for investors. A target defined at the Union level would leave greater flexibility for Member States to meet their greenhouse gas reduction targets in the most cost-effective manner in accordance with their specific circumstances, energy mixes and capacities to produce renewable energyIt is necessary to translate the Union's 35% target for 2030 into targets for each member state.

Amendment 84 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 10
(10) Member States should take additional measures in the event that the share of renewables at the Union level does not meet the Union trajectory towards the at least 2735% renewable energy target. As set out in Regulation [Governance], if an ambition gap is identified by the Commission during the assessment of the Integrated National Energy and Climate Plans, the Commission may take measures at Union level in order to ensure the achievement of the target. If a delivery gap is identified by the Commission during the assessment of the Integrated National Energy and Climate Progress Reports, Member States should apply the measures set out in Regulation [Governance], which are giving them enough flexibility to choose.

Amendment 93 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 13
(13) The Commission should facilitate the exchange of best practices between the competent national or, regional or local authorities or bodies, for instance through regular meetings to find a common approach to promote a higher uptake of cost-efficient renewable energy projects, encourage investments in new, flexible and clean technologies, and set out an adequate strategy to manage the retirement of technologies which do not contribute to the reduction of emissions or deliver sufficient flexibility, based on transparent criteria and reliable market price signals.

Amendment 107 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 17
(17) The opening of support schemes to cross-border participation limits negative impacts on the internal energy market and can, under certain conditions, help Member States achieve the Union target more cost- efficiently. Cross-border participation is also the natural corollary to the development of the Union renewables policy, with a Union-level binding target replacingwhich complements national binding targets. It is therefore appropriate to require Member States to progressively and partially open support to projects located in other Member States, and define several ways in which such progressive opening may be implemented, ensuring compliance with the provisions of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, including Articles 30, 34 and 110.

Amendment 109 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 18
(18) Without prejudice to adaptations of support schemes to bring them in line with State aid rules, renewables support policies should be stable and avoid frequent changes in order not to hinder investments in the development of advanced biofuels. Such changes have a direct impact on capital financing costs, the costs of project development and therefore on the overall cost of deploying renewables in the Union. Member States should prevent the revision of any support granted to renewable energy projects from having a negative impact on their economic viability. In this context, Member States should promote cost- effective support policies and ensure their financial sustainability.

Proposal for a directive
Recital 25
(25) In order to ensure that Annex IX takes into account the principles of the waste hierarchy established in Directive 2008/98/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council17 , the Union sustainability criteria, , the Common Agricultural Policy framework, and the need to ensure that the Annex does not create additional demand for land while promoting the use of wastes and residues, the Commission, when regularly evaluating the Annex, should consider the inclusion of additional feedstocks that do not cause significant distortive effects on markets for (by-)products, wastes or residues. _________________ 17 Directive 2008/98/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 19 November 2008 on waste and repealing certain Directives (OJ L 312, 22.11.2008, p. 3).

Amendment 122 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 26
(26) To create opportunities for reducing the cost of meeting the Union targets laid down in this Directive and to give flexibility to Member States to comply with their obligation not to go below their 2020 national targets after 2020 , it is appropriate both to facilitate the consumption in Member States of energy produced from renewable sources in other Member States, and to enable Member States to count energy from renewable sources consumed in other Member States towards their own renewable energy share . For this reason, cooperation mechanisms are required to complement the obligations to open up support to projects located in other Member States . Those mechanisms include statistical transfers, joint projects between Member States or joint support schemes.

Amendment 124 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 28
(28) It should be possible for imported electricity, produced from renewable energy sources outside the Union to count towards Member States’ renewable energy sharestargets. In order to guarantee an adequate effect of energy from renewable sources replacing conventional energy in the Union as well as in third countries it is appropriate to ensure that such imports can be tracked and accounted for in a reliable way. Agreements with third countries concerning the organisation of such trade in electricity from renewable energy sources will be considered. If, by virtue of a decision taken under the Energy Community Treaty18 to that effect, the contracting parties to that Treaty are bound by the relevant provisions of this Directive, the measures of cooperation between Member States provided for in this Directive should be applicable to them. _________________ 18 OJ L 198, 20.7.2006, p. 18.

Amendment 130 #
(33) At national and, regional and local level, rules and obligations for minimum requirements for the use of energy from renewable sources in new and renovated buildings have led to considerable increases in the use of energy from renewable sources. Those measures should be encouraged in a wider Union context, while promoting the use of more energy- efficient applications of energy from renewable sources through building regulations and codes.

Amendment 143 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 57
(57) Several Member States have implemented measures in the heating and cooling sector to reach their 2020 renewable energy target. However, in the absence of binding national targets post- 2020, the remaining national incentives may not be sufficient to reach the long- term decarbonisation goals for 2030 and 2050. In order to be in line with such goals, reinforce investor certainty and foster the development of a Union-wide renewable heating and cooling market, while respecting the energy efficiency first principle, it is appropriate to encourage the effort of Member States in the supply of renewable heating and cooling to contribute to the progressive increase of the share of renewable energy. Given the fragmented nature of some heating and cooling markets, it is of utmost importance to ensure flexibility in designing such an effort. It is also important to ensure that a potential uptake of renewable heating and cooling does not have detrimental environmental side-effects, be it inside or outside the EU.

Amendment 151 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 62
(62) The European Strategy for a low- carbon mobility of July 2016 pointed out that although they play an important role for rural jobs and produce co-products, food-based biofuels have a limited role in decarbonising the transport sector and should be gradually phased out andmay have negative environmental impacts. Food-based biofuels should therefore be reduced and gradually replaced bywith advanced biofuels. To prepare for the transition towards advanced biofuels that need to be incentivized and minimise the overall indirect land-use change impacts, it is appropriate to reduce the amount of biofuels and bioliquids produced from food and feed crops that can be counted towards the Union target set out in this Directive, and to include an estimate for indirect land-use change in the calculation of greenhouse gas emissions.

Amendment 163 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 63
(63) Directive (EU) 2015/1513 of the European Parliament and of the Council23 called on the Commission to present without delay a comprehensive proposal for a cost-effective and technology-neutral post-2020 policy in order to create a long- term perspective for investment in sustainable biofuels with a low risk of causing indirect land-use change and in other means of decarbonising the transport sector. An 12% incorporation obligation on fuel suppliers can provide certainty for investors and encourage the continuous development of alternative renewable transport fuels including advanced biofuels, renewable liquid and gaseous transport fuels of non-biological origin, and renewable electricity in transport. It is appropriate to set the obligation on fuel suppliers at the same level in each Member State in order to ensure consistency in transport fuel specifications and availability. As transport fuels are traded easily, fuel suppliers in Member States with low endowments of the relevant resources should be able to easily obtain renewable fuels from elsewhere. _________________ 23 Directive (EU) 2015/1513 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 September 2015 amending Directive 98/70/EC relating to the quality of petrol and diesel fuels and amending Directive 2009/28/EC on the promotion of the use of energy from renewable sources (OJ L 239, 15.9.2015, p. 1).

Amendment 169 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 64
(64) AIn respect of the sustainability criteria, advanced biofuels and other biofuels and biogas produced from feedstock listed in Annex IX, renewable liquid and gaseous transport fuels of non- biological origin, and renewable electricity in transport can contribute to low carbon emissions, stimulating the decarbonisation of the Union transport sector in a cost- effective manner, and improving inter alia energy diversification in the transport sector while promoting innovation, growth and jobs in the Union economy and reducing reliance on energy imports. The incorporation obligation on fuels suppliers should encourage continuous development of advanced fuels, including biofuels, and it is important to ensure that the incorporation obligation also incentivises improvements in the greenhouse gas performance of the fuels supplied to meet it. The Commission should assess the greenhouse gas performance, technical innovation and sustainability of those fuels.

Amendment 171 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 65
(65) The promotion of low carbon fossil fuels that are produced from fossil waste streams can also contribute towards the policy objectives of energy diversification and transport decarbonisation. It is therefore appropriate to include those fuels in the incorporation obligation on fuel suppliersNevertheless, these fuels cannot be recognised as a renewable energy source and should be addressed in a dedicated legislative text in the context of the Circular Economy Strategy.

Amendment 186 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 71
(71) The production of agricultural raw material for biofuels, bioliquids and biomass fuels , and the incentives for their use provided for in this Directive, should not have the effect of encouraging the destruction of biodiverse lands Such finite resources, recognised in various international instruments to be of value to all mankind, should be preserved. It is therefore necessary to provide sustainability and greenhouse gas emissions savings criteria ensuring that biofuels, bioliquids and biomass fuels qualify for the incentives only when it is guaranteed that the agricultural or forest raw material does not originate in biodiverse areas or, in the case of areas designated for nature protection purposes or for the protection of rare, threatened or endangered ecosystems or species, the relevant competent authority demonstrates that the production of the agricultural or forest raw material does not interfere with such purposes. Forests should be considered as biodiverse according to the sustainiability criteria, where they are primary forests in accordance with the definition used by the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations (FAO) in its Global Forest Resource Assessment, or where they are protected by national nature protection law. Areas where the collection of non-wood forest products occurs should be considered to be biodiverse forests , provided the human impact is small. Other types of forests as defined by the FAO, such as modified natural forests, semi- natural forests and plantations, should not be considered as primary forests. Having regard, furthermore, to the highly biodiverse nature of certain grasslands, both temperate and tropical, including highly biodiverse savannahs, steppes, scrublands and prairies, biofuels , bioliquids and biomass fuels made from agricultural raw materials originating in such lands should not qualify for the incentives provided for by this Directive. The Commission should establish appropriate criteria to define such highly biodiverse grasslands in accordance with the best available scientific evidence and relevant international standards.

Recital 73
(73) Agricultural feedstock for the production of biofuels, bioliquids and biomass fuels should not be produced on peatland or wetland as the cultivation of feedstock on peatland or wetland would result in significant carbon stock loss if the land was further drained for that purpose while the absence of such drainage cannot be easily verified.

Proposal for a directive
Recital 74
(74) In the framework of the Common Agricultural Policy Union, farmers should comply with a comprehensivelear set of environmental requirements in order to receive direct support. Compliance with those requirements can be most effectively verified in the context of agricultural policy. Including those requirements in the sustainability scheme is not appropriate as the sustainability criteria for bioenergy should set out rules that are objective and apply globally. Verification of compliance under this Directive would also risk causing unnecessary administrative burden.
