Amendment 67 #
(6 a) Biofuels that are the result of protein production can be used and valued as first-generation biofuels, not only they have a positive impact on arable land, the environment and greenhouse gas emissions in the transport sector, but they are also part of a circular economy since the co-products are thus recycled; the co-products from these crops also enable the European Union to be less dependent on imports and free up arable land in third countries;

(6 b) Whereas the principle of circular economy can apply to all crops generating co-products that can be used and valued as biofuel, nevertheless recalls that the production of biofuel must not divert the primary object of these crops;

Recital 62
(62) The European Strategy for a low- carbon mobility of July 2016 pointed out that food-based biofuels have a limited role in decarbonising the transport sector and should be gradually phased out and replaced by advanced biofuels. To prepare for the transition towards advanced biofuels 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. At the same time, the transition should take into account existing investments in the Member States in previous generation biofuel production installations.
