(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.

(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 likelythere 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 savings of individual biofuels. 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, cereals, sugars and other starch containing crops accordingly.

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 biofu by means of greater incentives. Establishing progressively more ambitious mandatory targets for advanced biofuels will send a clear signal of support for them at Union levels. 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, together with biofuels from cereals and other starch rich crops, sugars and oil crops.

(7) In order to ensure the long-term competitiveness of bio-based industrial sectors, and in line with the 2012 Communication "Innovating for Sustainable growth: A Bioeconomy for Europe" and the Roadmap to a Resource Efficient Europe, promoting integrated and diversified biorefineries across Europe, enhanced incentives under Directive 2009/28/EC should be set in a way that gives preference to the use of biomass feedstocks that do not have a high economic value for other uses than biofuels. It is also essential to ensure compliance with EU waste legislation, particularly in accordance with the waste hierarchy set out under Article 4 of Directive 2008/98/EC on waste. The reuse and recycling of the materials referred to in Article 11(2) of the Directive must take priority over their use as biofuel feedstock.

To this end, and if warrvailable advantced by the latest available scientific evidence, the Commission should consider the possibility of revising the proposed crop group indirect land-use change factors, as well as introducing factors at further levels of disaggregation and including additional values should new biofuel feedstocks come to marketiofuels as laid down in Annex IX in order to take account of technical and scientific progress.

These provisions are no longer adequate in their current form and need to be integratOther ILUC mitigation measures, such as the use of co-products, yield increases, manufacturing efficiencies and crop production on abandoned or unused land, should be assessed inby the approach laid out in this Directive to ensure that overall actions for minimising emission from indirect land-use change remain coherentCommission in view of incorporating them into the Directives in terms of a bonus like the one already set out in Annex IV part C point 7 of Directive 98/70/EC and in Annex V part C point 7 of Directive 2009/28/EC for biomass obtained from restored degraded land.

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.
