Paragraph -1 a (new)
Paragraph -1 a (new)
–1a. Recalls that the transport sector is the least decarbonised and that it is still 94% dependent on fossil fuels; observes that greenhouse gas emissions continue to rise; considers that an ambitious target for incorporating renewable energy in transport is essential in order to attain the targets of the Paris climate agreement;
Amendment 111 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 4 a (new)
Paragraph 4 a (new)
4a. Calls on the Commission to promote incentives for cars and vans that accept a higher blend of renewable fuels, which can increase the share of renewable energy in transport and contribute to the overall decarbonisation of the European economy;
Amendment 140 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 6 a (new)
Paragraph 6 a (new)
6a. Calls on the Commission to propose measures which could increase the use of heavy duty vehicles using higher blends of biofuels, namely by considering rolling out dedicated refuelling stations.

Draft opinion
Paragraph 6 b (new)
Paragraph 6 b (new)
6b. Calls on the Commission to develop separate targets for biofuels for heavy and light duty vehicles (vans, buses and trucks) to ensure that these vehicles do not fall behind in the decarbonisation efforts of the EU;
Amendment 199 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 12 a (new)
Paragraph 12 a (new)
12a. Call on the Commission to propose a specific target of 5% bio-kerosene in aviation, to ensure that the sector contributes to the overall efforts of the decarbonisation of the European economy;

Paragraph 13 a (new)
Paragraph 13 a (new)
13a. Call on the Commission to propose a specific target of 5% renewable fuels in maritime and inland waters transport, to ensure that the sector contributes to the overall efforts of the decarbonisation of the European economy;
Amendment 214 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 13 b (new)
Paragraph 13 b (new)
13b. Calls for an ambitious incorporation obligation, of at least 15%, for all renewables in the transport sector, building upon the 10% target foreseen for 2020 and providing the necessary incentives for decarbonisation in this challenging sector;
Amendment 217 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 13 a (new)
Paragraph 13 a (new)
13a. Underlines the fact that electric mobility solutions based on sustainable energy sources afford great potential for decarbonising transport; considers, however, that optimisation of the technology involved and large-scale provision of infrastructure facilities are unlikely before 2030; reiterates its call for technological innovations;
Amendment 220 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 14
Paragraph 14
14. Calls for more stringent limits than those proposed in the recast of the Renewable Energy Directive in order to phase down first generation biofuels by 2030 and achieveaintaining the 7% cap on 1st generation biofuels, agreed in Directive (EU) 2015/1513, to provide market stability, investor certainty and to create the conditions for an ambitious and successful long-term decarbonisation of the transport sector;
Amendment 230 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 15
Paragraph 15
15. Invites the Commission to favour biofuels with highmaximum GHG-efficiency, while taking into account indirect land use change and ensuring that existing investments are protected; invites the Commission also to take account of the climate benefits of EU agricultural production in connection with biofuels, in terms of reducing production emissions and emissions resulting from large-scale animal-protein imports from non-EU countries, together with its environmental benefits such as crop rotation, which promotes soil enrichment, by way of Common Agricultural Policy agri- environment measures, this being entirely consistent with the circular economy model advocated by the EU;
Amendment 251 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 17
Paragraph 17
17. Stresses that crop-based biofuels should not count towardsaccount for only 3% of EU farmland and, according to Commission figures, have not led to food price rises; adds that, according to the Globiom study, most European crops for first-generation biofuels (e.g. wheat, maize, sugar, rapeseed and sunflower) have an ILUC effect similar or close to that of advanced biofuels; points out that vegetable oil is a coproduct of crop growing in addition to protein meal for animal feed; notes that the EU is dependent on non-EU countries for 70% of animal protein imports and that most of that production volume comes from GMO soya crops; considers that biofuels the production of which results in deforestation or peatland drainage, such as palm oil or soya oil, should be excluded from Member States’ climate targets under the Effort Sharing Regulation;
