Recital 6
(6) Liquid renewable fuels are likely to be required by the transport sector in order to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions. Advanced biofuels, such as those made from wastes, cellulosic and ligno- cellulosic materials and algae, provide high greenhouse gas savings with low risk of causing indirect land use change and do not compete directly for agricultural land for the food and feed markets. It is appropriate, therefore, to substantially encourage greater production of such advanced biofuels as these are currently not commercially available in large quantities, in part due to competition for public subsidies with established food crop based biofuel technologies. Further incentives should be provided by increasing the weighting of advanced biofuels towards 10% target for transport set in Directive 2009/28/EC compared to conventional biofuels. In this context, only advanced biofuels with low estimated indirect land use change impacts and highhich provide overall greenhouse gas savings should be more intensively supported as part of the post 2020 renewable energy policy framework.

(9) To prepare for the transition towards advanced biofuels and minimise the overall indirect land use change impacts in the period to 2020, it is appropriate to limit the amount of biofuels and bioliquids obtained from food crops as set out in part A of Annex VIII to Directive 2009/28/EC and part A of Annex V to Directive 98/70/EC that can be counted towards tand to prepare for the potential impact of advanced biofuels on the agricultural margkets set out in Directive 2009/28/EC. Without restricting the overall use of such biofuels, the share of biofuels and bioliquids produced from cereal and other starch rich crops, sug, an ambitious target should be set for advanced biofuel use, according to a calendar which guar and oil crops that can be counted towards the targets of Directive 2009/28/EC should be limited to the share of such biofuels and bioliquids consumed in 2011tees the security of investments made by operators.

1a. Point oa (new) is inserted in Article 2: ‘(oa) ‘advanced biofuels’ means biofuels produced from feedstock that do not compete directly with food and feed crops. A non-exhaustive list of advanced biofuels is established in Annex IX.

Article 3 – paragraph 4 – subparagraph 2 – point e
e) Member States shall seek to achieve the objective ofensure that a minimum proportion of biofuels produced from feedstocks and other fuels, listed in part A of Annex IX, beingis consumed on their territory. To that effect, each Member State shall set a national target, which it shall endeavour to achieve. A reference value for this target is 0,5 percentage points in energy content of the share of energy from renewable sources in all forms of transport in 2020 referred to in the first subparagraph, to be met with biofuels produced from feedstocks and ohis target shall be 1 % of ther fuels, listed in part A of Annex IX, and which shall be considered to be twice their energy content in accordance with point (f) of this subparagraph and part A of Annex IX. In addition, biofuels made from feedstocks not listed in Annex IX that were determined to be wastes, residues, non-food cellulosic material or ligno-cellulosic material by the competent national authorities and are used in existing installations prior to the adoption of Directive 2014/…/EU+ of the European Parliament and of the Council*, may be counted towards the national target. Member States may set a national target lower than the reference value of 0,5 percentage points, based on one or more of the following grounds: i) objective factors such as the limited potential for the sustainable production of biofuels produced from feedstocks and other fuels, listed in part A of Annex IX, or the limited availability of such biofuels at cost-efficient prices on the market, taking into account the assessment contained in the Commission report referred to in Article 3(1) of Directive 2014/…/EU+; ii) the specific technical or climatic characteristics of the national market for transport fuels, such as the composition and condition of the road vehicle fleet; o iii) national policies allocating commensurate financial resources to incentivising the use of electricity from renewable energy sources in transport. The Commission shall publish: – the national targets of the Member States and, where applicable, the grounds for differentiation of their national target as compared to the reference value, notified in accordance with Article 4(2) of Directive 2014/…/EU+; – a synthesis report on Member States' achievements towards their national targets.; __________________ +OJ: please insert the number of this Directiveinal consumption of energy in transport in 2020.

The report referred to in the first subparagraph must take into account the contribution of biofuel production to reducing the EU’s shortage of vegetable protein and shall, if appropriate, be accompanied by a legislative proposal, based on the best available scientific evidence, for promoting the use of renewable sources of energy in transport post 2020 and, if applicable, introducing adjusted estimated indirect land-use change emissions factors into the appropriate sustainability criteria and by a review of the effectiveness of the incentives provided for biofuels from non-land using feedstocks and non-food crops under Article 3(4) of Directive 2009/28/EC. As part of that report, the Commission shall, in light of Member States' reports pursuant to Article 3(5) of Directive 2009/28/EC, assess the effectiveness of measures taken to prevent and fight fraud, and shall, if appropriate, submit proposals for further measures, including on additional measures to be taken at Union level.
