Amendment 192 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 73
(73) AProduction of agricultural feedstock for the production of biofuels, bioliquids and biomass fuels should not be produced on peatlandlead to drainage of undrained peatlands or wetlands as the cultivation of feedstock on peatland wouldor wetland would then result in significant carbon stock loss if the land was further drained for that purpose while the absence of such drainage cannot be easily verified.

Amendment 206 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 76 a (new)
(76 a) If a single criterion on forest biomass sustainability is not met by a Member State's national and/or sub- national law or monitoring systems, more information corresponding to that criterion should be provided at supply base level without the requirement to provide further information on criteria that are already met on Member State level.

Amendment 217 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 84
(84) In order to avoid a disproportionate administrative burden, a list of default values should be laid down for common biofuel , bioliquid and biomass fuel production pathways and that list should be updated and expanded when further reliable data is available. Economic operators should always be entitled to claim the level of greenhouse gas emission saving for biofuels, bioliquids and biomass fuels established by that list. Where the default value for greenhouse gas emission saving from a production pathway lies below the required minimum level of greenhouse gas emission saving, producers wishing to demonstrate their compliance with this minimum level should be required to show that actual emissions from their production process are lower than those that were assumed in the calculation of the default values that sourcing area is inside the radius of sustainable transport distance. When radius covers a country, an operator needs to show only the country of origin.

1. With effect from 1 January 2021, Member States shall require fuel suppliers to include a minimum share of energy from advanced biofuels and other biofuels and biogas produced from feedstock listed in Annex IX, from advanced conventional fuels, from renewable liquid and gaseous transport fuels of non-biological origin, from waste-based fossil fuels and from renewable electricity in the total amount of transport fuels they supply for consumption or use on the market in the course of a calendar year.

(a) When electricity is used for the production of renewable liquid and gaseous transport fuels of non-biological origin, either directly or for the production of intermediate products, either the average share of electricity from renewable energy sources in the Union or the share of electricity from renewable energy sources in the country of production, as measured two years before the year in queslectricity obtained from direct connection to an installation generating renewable electricity may be counted as renewable electricity. Similarly, electricity obtained through power purchase agreements for renewable electricity shall be counted in its entirety as renewable electricity. Similarly, electricity from surplus renewable production, may be used to determine the share of renewable energy.
