(ba) The following paragraph is inserted: "5a. Biofuels and bioliquids made from waste or residues shall not be taken into account for the purpose referred in paragraph 1 unless their use takes due account of the principle of the waste hierarchy established in Directive 2008/98/EC and the biomass cascading principle, and unless they do not create an additional demand for land or cause significant distortive effects on markets for (by-)products, wastes or residues and they do not risk creating negative impacts on the environment and biodiversity."

Proposal for a directive
Article 1 – point 1 – point -a (new)

Directive 98/70/EC
Article 7a – paragraph 2

(-a) paragraph 2 is replaced by the following: "2. Member States shall require suppliers to reduce as gradually as possible life cycle greenhouse gas emissions per unit of energy from fuel and energy supplied by up to 13 % by 31 December 2025, compared with the fuel baseline standard referred to in paragraph 5(b). This reduction shall consist of: (a) 9 % by 31 December 2025. Member States shall require suppliers, for this reduction, to comply with the following intermediate targets: 2% by 31 December 2014, [...] 4% by 31 December 2017 and 6% by 31 December 2020; (b) an indicative additional target of 2% by 31 December 2020, subject to Article 9(1)(h), to be achieved through one or both of the following methods: (i) the supply of energy for transport supplied for use in any type of road vehicle, non-road mobile machinery (including inland waterway vessels), agricultural or forestry tractor or recreational craft; (ii) the use of any technology (including carbon capture and storage) capable of reducing life cycle greenhouse gas emissions per unit of energy from fuel or energy supplied; (c) an indicative additional target of 2% by 31 December 2020, subject to Article 9(1)(i), to be achieved through the use of credits purchased through the Clean Development Mechanism of the Kyoto Protocol, under the conditions set out in Directive 2003/87/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 October 2003 establishing a scheme for greenhouse gas emission allowance trading within the Community, for reductions in the fuel supply sector. Member States shall ensure, when determining compliance with subparagraphs (a) and (b), that the maximum contribution by suppliers of biofuels contributing to indirect land-use change, as set out in Annex V, shall not exceed the energy quantity corresponding to the maximum contribution in Article 3(4)(d) of Directive 2009/28/EC."

Article 2 – point 2 – point e

Directive 2009/28/EC
Article 3 – paragraph 5 – subparagraph 2

The Commission shall be empowered to adopt delegated acts in accordance with Article 25a to amend the list of feedstocks in part A of Annex IX ~~in order to add feedstocks, but not to remove them~~. The Commission shall adopt a separate delegated act in respect of each feedstock to be added to or removed from the list in part A of Annex IX. Each delegated act shall be based on an analysis of the latest scientific and technical progress, taking due account of the principles of the waste hierarchy, established in Directive 2008/98/EC and supporting the conclusion that the feedstock in question does not create an additional demand for land or cause significant distortive effects on markets for (by-)products, wastes or residues, that it delivers substantial greenhouse gas emission savings compared to fossil fuels, that it respects the biomass cascading principle, and that it does not risk creating negative impacts on the environment and biodiversity.

Directive 2009/28/EC
Article 22 – paragraph 1 – subparagraph 2 – point i

(i) the development and share of biofuels made from feedstocks listed in Annex IX including a resource assessment focusing on the sustainability aspects relating to the effect of the replacement of food and feed products for biofuel production, and to other sustakin~~g due account of~~ability aspects including, in particular, the respect for the principles of the waste hierarchy established in Directive 2008/98/EC, and the biomass cascading principle, the maintenance of the necessary carbon stock in the soil and the quality of the soil and the ecosystems; the report shall also detail the extent to which the feedstocks in question respect the condition that they should not create an additional demand for land or cause significant distortive effects on markets for (by)products, wastes or residues, that they should deliver substantial greenhouse gas emission savings compared to fossil fuels and that they must not risk creating negative impacts on the environment and biodiversity;
