Recital 3
Recital 3
(3) Article 17 of Directive 2009/28/EC establishes sustainability criteria that biofuels and bioliquids need to comply with in order to be counted towards the targets in the Directive and to qualify for inclusion in public support schemes. These criteria include requirements concerning the protection of biodiversity-rich land and land with high carbon stock. These criteria also include requirements on the minimum greenhouse gas emission savings that biofuels and bioliquids need to achieve compared to fossil fuels. Identical sustainability criteria are established for biofuels under Article 7b of Directive 98/70/EC.

Recital 4
(4) Where pasture or agricultural land previously destined for the food, feed and fibre markets is diverted to biofuel production, the non-fuel demand will still need to be satisfied either through intensification of current production or by bringing non-agricultural land into production elsewhere. The latter case represents indirect land-use change and when it involves the conversion of high carbon stock land it can lead to significant greenhouse gas emissions. Directives 98/70/EC and 2009/28/EC should therefore include provisions to address indirect land use change given that current biofuels are mainly produced from crops grown on existing agricultural land. The aim of this Directive should be to tackle these problems and promote the use of non- food feedstocks as biofuel feedstocks.

Recital 5 a (new)
Recital 5 a (new)
(5a) This proposal focuses on the potential adverse effects of the production and use of biofuels in the European Union, while taking into account the fact that other land-use related issues for instance are handled in other legislative instruments as well as climate impact issues not related to land-use.
Amendment 140 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 7
Recital 7
(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 second generation and advanced biofuels.
Amendment 192 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 11 a (new)
Recital 11 a (new)
(11a) Forests provide a wide variety of environmental, economic and social benefits and services of key importance to humanity, such as maintaining biodiversity, providing low emission feedstocks and ecosystem functions and protecting the climate system. Sustainability criteria for forest-based biomass already exists in RES-directive and the European Commission will also make further recommendations concerning the sustainability criteria for solid biomass in order to address the concerns regarding the growing demand of imported wood biomass. EU Member States have the relevant instruments and regulations in place which safeguard the sustainability of forest biomass. In order to avoid double regulation and bureaucratic burden it is not necessary to define new sustainability criteria for forest biomass in this directive.
