Proposal for a directive
Recital 1

(1) The increased use of energy from renewable sources constitutes an important part of the package of measures needed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and comply with the Kyoto Protocol to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, and with further European and international greenhouse gas emission reduction commitments beyond 2012. It also has an important part to play in promoting security of energy supply, promoting technological development and innovation and providing opportunities for employment and regional development, especially in rural and isolated areas.

Proposal for a directive
Recital 11

(11) To ensure that the mandatory overall targets are achieved, Member States should work towards ~~a an indicative trajectory~~mandatory minimum interim targets tracing a path towards the achievement of their final mandatory targets~~, and~~. They should establish a ~~national action pl~~renewable energy action plan including information on joint target agreements, reference statistics, mandatory national final and in~~cluding sectoral~~terim targets as well as sectoral targets. In addition, they should set out their measures to achieve these targets, while having in mind that there are different uses of biomass and therefore it is essential to mobilise new biomass resources. Assessments concerning the expected contribution of each renewable energy technology and a strategic environmental assessment should be included.

Proposal for a directive
Recital 12

(12) To permit the benefits of technological advance and economies of scale to be reaped, the ~~indicative trajectory~~mandatory minimum interim targets should take into account the possibility of a more rapid growth in the use of energy from renewable sources in later years. In this way, special attention can be given to sectors that disproportionately suffer from the absence of technological advance and economies of scale and therefore remain under-developed, but which in future could significantly contribute to reaching the targets for 2020.

Proposal for a directive
Recital 12 a (new)

(12a) To further increase the use of energy from renewable sources it is necessary to create a truly functioning energy market, the external costs of energy production and consumption need to be properly attributed to the different energy sources. If all social, environmental and health care costs are properly take into account, energy from most of the renewable sources available today is already fully cost competitive and often cheaper than energy from conventional sources. Support systems for energies from renewable sources therefore constitute political instruments to compensate for the lack of internalization of external costs and for competitive disadvantages in distorted energy markets.

Proposal for a directive
Recital 12 b (new)

(12b) Public support for electricity from renewable energy sources is based on the assumption that, in the long run, it can compete with conventionally produced electricity. Such support will be necessary to reach the Community's objectives with regard to its expansion, in particular for as long as electricity prices in the internal market do not reflect the full social and environmental costs and benefits of energy sources used. The Community Guidelines and policies for State aid for environmental protection should take full account of the need to internalise all external costs of electricity until fair competition has been achieved.

Recital 12 c (new)

(12c) When favouring the development of a market for renewable energy sources, it is necessary to take into account the positive impact on regional and local development opportunities, export prospects, social cohesion and employment opportunities, especially as concerns small and medium-sized undertakings as well as independent power producers.

Recital 17 a (new)

(17a) It is necessary to support the demonstration and commercialisation phase for decentralised renewable technologies. The move towards decentralized energy production has many benefits such as utilisation of local energy sources, shorter transport distances and reduced energy transmission losses. It also fosters community development (i.e. by providing income sources and creating jobs locally) and cohesion.

Proposal for a directive
Recital 24

(24) The lack of transparent rules and coordination between the different authorisation bodies has been shown to hinder the deployment of renewable energy. Therefore the specific structure of the renewable energy sector should be taken into account when national, regional and local authorities review their administrative procedures for giving permission to construct and operate plants producing electricity, heating and cooling or transport fuels from renewable energy sources. A single administrative body responsible for all necessary authorisations should be established. This body should be installed at the level closest to the projects, preferably municipal or regional level. Administrative approval procedures should be streamlined with clear deadlines for installations using energy from renewable sources. Planning rules and guidelines should be adapted to take into consideration cost effective and environmentally beneficial renewable heating and cooling and electricity equipment.

Proposal for a directive
Recital 30 a (new)

(30a) Electricity producers who want to exploit the potential of renewable energies in the peripheral regions of the Community, in particular in island regions and regions of low population density, should benefit from reasonable connection costs. This is to ensure that they are not disadvantaged in comparison with producers situated in more central, more industrialized and more densely populated areas.
