Recital 15
(15) The estimated indirect land-use change emissions should be included in the reporting by the Commission of greenhouse gas emissions from biofuels under Directives 98/70/EC and 2009/28counted towards the target in Article 7a(2) of Directive 98/70/EC and towards the target set out in Directive 2009/28/EC in order to provide incentives for the biofuels with low indirect land-use change impacts and to ensure the accuracy and credibility of the reduction target for life cycle greenhouse gas emissions. In order to make sure that Union targets for greenhouse gas emission savings and biofuels are meaningful and effectively met, indirect land-use change emissions should be taken into account when calculating the greenhouse gas emission savings required under the sustainability criteria set out in Directive 2009/28/EC and Directive 98/70/EC. Biofuels made from feedstocks that do not lead to additional demand for land, such as those from waste feedstocks, should be assigned a zero emissions factor.

Recital 15 a (new)
(15a) The use of land for growing biofuel feedstocks should not result in the displacement of local and indigenous communities. Special measures to protect indigenous communities' land therefore need to be introduced.

Article 7d – paragraph 1
Article 7d – paragraph 1
"1. For the purposes of Article 7a and Article 7b(2), life cycle greenhouse gas emissions from biofuels shall be calculated as follows: (a) where a default value for greenhouse gas emission savings for the biofuel production pathway is laid down in Ppart A or B of Annex IV and where the el value for those biofuels calculated in accordance with point 7 of Ppart C of Annex IV is equal to or less than zero, and where the estimated indirect land-use change emissions are zero in accordance with part B of Annex V, by using that default value; (b) by using an actual value calculated in accordance with the methodology laid down in Ppart C of Annex IV; or adding the estimates for indirect land-use change emissions set out in Annex V; (c) by using a value calculated as the sum of the factors of the formula referred to in point 1 of Ppart C of Annex IV, where disaggregated default values in Ppart D or E of Annex IV may be used for some factors, and actual values, calculated in accordance with the methodology laid down in Ppart C of Annex IV, for all other factors., adding the estimates for indirect land-use change emissions set out in Annex V." For the purposes of Article 7a, from 2017 onwards the lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions from biofuels shall be calculated by adding the respective value in Annex V to the result obtained pursuant to the first subparagraph."
