Recital 16 a (new)
Recital 16 a (new)
(16a) To reach the consumers and therefore to contribute towards the overall 27% target, the priority dispatch for renewable electricity installations greater than 500kW should be properly set;

Recital 27
Recital 27
(27) Member States should be encouraged to pursuensure all appropriate forms of cooperation in relation to the objectives set out in this Directive. Such cooperation can take place at all levels, bilaterally or multilaterally. Apart from the mechanisms with effect on target renewable energy share calculation and target compliance, which are exclusively provided for in this Directive, namely statistical transfers between Member States, joint projects and joint support schemes, cooperation can also take the form of, for example, exchanges of information and best practices, as provided for, in particular, in the e-platform established by Regulation [Governance], and other voluntary coordination between all types of support schemes. The Commission should monitor and evaluate measures taken at national level in order to ensure the collective achievement of the EU 27% energy target. If the Commission concludes that the targets, objectives and contributions of the national plans are insufficient for the collective achievement of the EU overall 27% target, the Commission should require the revision of Integrated National Energy and Climate Plans.

Recital 57
Recital 57
(57) Several Member States have implemented measures in the heating and cooling sector to reach their 2020 renewable energy target. However, in the absence of binding national targets post- 2020, the remaining national incentives may not be sufficient to reach the long- term decarbonisation goals for 2030 and 2050. In order to be in line with such goals, reinforce investor certainty and foster the development of a Union-wide renewable heating and cooling market, while respecting the energy efficiency first principle, it is appropriate to encourage the effort of Member States in the supply of renewable heating and cooling to contribute to the progressive increase of the share of renewable energy. Given the fragmented nature of some heating and cooling markets, it is of utmost importance to ensure flexibility in designing such an effort. It is also important to ensure that a potential uptake of renewable heating and cooling does not have detrimental environmental side-effects, in particular as regards air quality.

Recital 63 a (new)
Recital 63 a (new)
(63a) Further incentives (e.g. making advanced fuels cost-competitive) to increase the level of advanced biofuels in aviation and transport sectors are necessary to overcome the lack of commercial viability;

Recital 63 b (new)
Recital 63 b (new)
(63b) In order to help them to tackle the challenge of the transformation needed in the transport sector, Member States should fully utilise available EU financing possibilities to help aviation sector and shipping industry to cover initial costs in the transition period.
Amendment 109 #
Proposal for a directive
Article 2 – paragraph 2 – point g a (new)
Article 2 – paragraph 2 – point g a (new)
(ga) 'highly sustainable crop based biofuels' means biofuels that – are produced from cereals, other starch-rich crops, sugars and oil crops, and – save at least 70% GHG emissions compared to fossil fuel according to the methodology in article 28 (1) from 2021, increasing to at least 80% by 2030; and – are produced from feedstocks obtained in accordance with the requirements and standards under the provisions referred to Article 93 of Regulation (EU) No 1306/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 December 2013 on the financing, management and monitoring of the common agricultural policy; or are certified to comply with an equivalent set of sustainability standards.
Amendment 141 #
Proposal for a directive
Article 7 – paragraph 5 – subparagraph 3
Article 7 – paragraph 5 – subparagraph 3
Every 2 years, the Commission shall carry out an evaluation of the list of feedstocks in parts A and B of Annex IX in order to revise the list and add feedstocks, in line with the principles set out in this paragraph. The first evaluation shall be carried out no later than 6 months after [date of entry into force of this Directive]. If appropriate, the Commission shall adopt delegated acts to amend the list of feedstocks in parts A and B of Annex IX in order to add feedstocks, but not to remove them. The Commission shall, if appropriate, present a proposal to modify the Annex IX to address the potential issues of greenhouse gas savings and environmental impacts of the new feedstocks, but without neglecting the need of energy sectors, especially small energy sectors and small energy suppliers, to be able to adapt to the changing market conditions.
Amendment 165 #
Proposal for a directive
Article 23 – paragraph 2
Article 23 – paragraph 2
2. Member States may designate and make public, on the basis of objective and non-discriminatory criteria, a list of measures and the implementing entities, such as fuel suppliers, which shall contribute to the increase set out in paragraph 1. Member States may exempt small energy suppliers and small energy sectors from this obligation, in order to avoid disproportionate administrative burdens.
Amendment 169 #
Proposal for a directive
Article 25 – paragraph 1 – subparagraph 1
Article 25 – paragraph 1 – subparagraph 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, fromhighly sustainable crop based biofuels, 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.
Amendment 184 #
Proposal for a directive
Article 25 – paragraph 1 – subparagraph 4 – point b – paragraph 1
Article 25 – paragraph 1 – subparagraph 4 – point b – paragraph 1
for the calculation of the numerator, the energy content of advanced biofuels and other biofuels and biogas produced from feedstock listed in Annex IX, renewable liquid and gaseous transport fuels of non- biological origin, waste based fossil fuels supplied to all transport sectors, and renewable electricity supplied to road vehicles and trains, shall be taken into account.
Amendment 188 #
Proposal for a directive
Article 25 – paragraph 1 – subparagraph 4 – point b – paragraph 2
Article 25 – paragraph 1 – subparagraph 4 – point b – paragraph 2
For the calculation of the numerator, the contribution from biofuels and biogas produced from feedstock included in part B of Annex IX shall be limited to 1.7% of the energy content of transport fuels supplied for consumption or use on the market and the contribution of fuels supplied in the aviation and maritime sector shall be considered to be respectively 2 times and 1.2 times their energy content.
