Proposal for a directive
Recital 10

(10) The 5% limit set up in Article 3(4)d does not affect the Member States' freedom to arrange their own trajectory as to compliance with this prescribed share of conventional biofuels within the overall 10% target. As a consequence, the access to the market of the biofuels produced by the installations in operation before the end of 2013 remains fully open. Therefore this amending directive does not affect the legitimate expectations of the operators of such installations.deleted

Proposal for a directive
Recital 11

(11) The Commission’s impact assessment has shown that the estimated indirect land- use change emissions ~~should be included in the reporting of g~~are, despite better understanding and recen~~house gas emissions from biofuels under Directives 98/70/EC and 2009/28/EC. Biofuels~~t scientific improvements, vulnerable to the deficiencies and limits of the maode ~~from fe~~ls useds to~~cks that do not lead to addit~~ give a specific value of emissionals de~~mand for land, such as those from waste feedstocks, should be assigned a zero emissions factor~~rived from ILUC to the different types of crops. Therefore, the figures are not certain enough to be introduced in a piece of legislation.

Recital 12

(12) The Commission should ~~review the methodology for estimating land-use change emission factors included in Annexes VIII and V to Directives 2009/28/EC and 98/70/EC respectively in~~periodically review the lighst of a~~daptation to technical and scientific progress. To this end, and if warr~~vailable 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.

Proposal for a directive
Recital 18

(18) In order to permit adaptation to technical and scientific progress of Directive 98/70/EC, the power to adopt acts in accordance with Article 290 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union should be delegated to the Commission in respect of the mechanism to monitor and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, the methodological principles and values necessary for assessing whether sustainability criteria have been fulfilled in relation to biofuels, criteria and geographic ranges for determining highly diverse grassland, the methodology for the calculation and reporting of lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions, ~~the methodology for the calculation of indirect land-use change emissions,~~ the permitted level related to the metallic additives content in fuels, the permitted analytical methods related to the fuel specifications and the vapour pressure waiver permitted for petrol containing bioethanol.

Proposal for a directive
Recital 20

(20) The Commission should review the effectiveness of the measures introduced by this Directive, based on the best and latest available scientific evidence, in limiting indirect land-use change greenhouse gas emissions and addressing ways to further minimise that impact~~, which could include the introduction of estimated indirect land-use change emission factors in the sustainability scheme as of 1st January 2021~~.

Fuel suppliers shall by 31 March each year report to the authority designated by the Member State, the biofuel production pathways, volumes, and the life cycle greenhouse gas emissions per unit of energy, including the estimated indirect land-use change emissions set out in Annex V Member States shall report these data to the Commission.deleted

In estimating net greenhouse gas emission saving from the use of biofuels, the Member State may, for the purpose of the reports referred to in paragraph 1, use the typical values given in part A and part B of Annex V, and shall add the estimates for indirect land-use change emissions set out in Annex VIII.'deleted

Annex II – point 1

Directive 98/70/EC
Annex V – part C – points 7, 8, 9

1) Annex V, part C is amended as follows: a) point 7 is replaced by the following: '7. Annualised emissions from carbon stock changes caused by land-use change, el, shall be calculated by dividing total emissions equally over 20 years. For the calculation of these emissions the following rule shall be applied: el = (CSR – CSA) × 3,664 × 1/20 × 1/P, where el = annualised greenhouse gas emissions from carbon stock change due to land-use change (measured as mass (grams) of CO2-equivalent per unit biofuel energy (megajoules)); CSR = the carbon stock per unit area associated with the reference land use (measured as mass (tonnes) of carbon per unit area, including both soil and vegetation). The reference land-use shall be the land-use in January 2008 or 20 years before the raw material was obtained, whichever was the later; CSA = the carbon stock per unit area associated with the actual land-use (measured as mass (tonnes) of carbon per unit area, including both soil and vegetation). In cases where the carbon stock accumulates over more than one year, the value attributed to CSA shall be the estimated stock per unit area after 20 years or when the crop reaches maturity, whichever the earlier; P = the productivity of the crop (measured as biofuel or bioliquid energy per unit area per year).' b) points 8 and 9 are deleted.
