(1a) The global demand for agricultural commodities and the volatile market situation can only be counteracted with an increase in the crop yields. In EU 12 the full potential regarding crop yields has not yet been realized and on arable land not farmed. Biofuels production from arable crops in the EU reduces the proteins deficit stabilizes the market and raises the EU agricultural production capacity. The jobs related to the EU biofuels consumption reach a number of about 220,000 in the EU.

(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 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 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% targetby introducing a separate target for advanced biofuels of at least 2% 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 high overall greenhouse gas savings should be supported as part of the post 2020 renewable energy policy framework.

(1) Pursuant to Article 3(4) of Directive 2009/28/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council3 each Member State is to ensure that the share of energy from renewable sources in all forms of transport in 2020 is at least 10 % of the final consumption of energy in transport in that Member State. The blending of biofuels is one of the methods available for Member States to meet this target, and is expected to be the main contributor. Other methods to meet the target are reducing energy consumption, which is imperative because a mandatory percentage target for energy from renewable sources is likely to become increasingly difficult to achieve sustainably if overall demand for energy for transport continues to rise, and the use of electricity from renewable energy sources. __________________ 3Directive 2009/28/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 April 2009 on the promotion of the use of energy from renewable energy sources and amending and subsequently repealing Directives 2001/777/EC and 2003/30/EC (OJ L 140, 5.6.2009, p. 16).

(4) Where pasture or agricultural land previously destined for food and feed markets is diverted to biofuel production, the non-fuel demand will still need to be satisfied either through intensification of current production or by bringing non- agricultural land into production elsewhere. The latter case constitutes indirect land-use change and when it involves the conversion of land with high carbon stock it can lead to significant greenhouse gas emissions. Directives 98/70/EC and 2009/28/EC should therefore be amended to include provisions to address indirect land-use change given that current biofuels are mainly produced from crops grown on existing agricultural land.

Recital 5
(5) Based on forecasts of biofuel demand provided by the Member States and estimates of indirect land-use change emissions for different biofuel feedstocks, it is likely there is a risk that greenhouse gas emissions linked to indirect land- use change are significant, and could negate some or all of the greenhouse gas emission savings of individual biofuelscould be significant. This is because almost the entire biofuel production in 2020 is expected to come from crops grown on land that could be used to satisfy food and feed markets. In order to reduce such emissions, it is appropriate to distinguish between crop groups such as oil crops, sugars and cereals and other starch-rich crops accordinglyavert this risk in the short, medium and long term, research and development should be encouraged into the production of new forms of advanced biofuels that do not compete directly with food crops.

(13) To prepare for the transition towards increased use of 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 targets set out in Directive 2009/28/EC, without restricting the overall useestablish mandatory targets for advanced biofuels to be phased in gradually and according to a timetable that will provide predictability and stability for investors and to limit the amount of biofuels and bioliquids obtained from food crops that can be counted towards targets 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, sugar and oil crops that can be counted towards the 10% target for transport set in Directive 2009/28/EC should be limited by introducing a 6.5% cap ofn such biofuels and bioliquids in 2020. 1% out of the 10% target could be achieved by counting the use of renewable energy in electric transport or the use of hydrogen in transport.

(15) The Commission's impact assessment has shown that the models used to estimated the 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 2009/28/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. of biofuels production deliver results with significant variations, limitations and uncertainties. The results of modelling emissions from indirect land-use change are therefore still too uncertain to be included in legislation. The Commission should, before 31 December 2015, submit a report to the European Parliament, incorporating experience from ILUC-models implemented in other countries and developed in close corporation with all relevant stakeholders, on progress as regards the robustness and reliability of scientific evidence for the use of indirect land use change factors; the report should, if appropriate, be accompanied by a legislative proposal introducing a requirement for fuel suppliers to regularly report on the estimated indirect land-use change emissions of the biofuels they market, based on ILUC factors and with effect from September 2016.

(17a) With a view to meeting the target for renewable energies in the transport sector while minimising the negative impacts of land-use change, the use of renewable electricity, modal shift, greater use of public transport and energy efficiency should be encouraged. In line with the White Paper on transport, Member States should therefore seek to secure greater energy efficiency and reduce overall energy consumption in transport and at the same time to enhance the market penetration of electric vehicles and the take-up of renewable electricity in transport systems.
