Recital 5 a (new)
(5a) On 12th December 2015, the EU agreed together with other nations on the Paris Agreement on climate action, which the EU successfully ratified on 4th October 2016 and which entered into force on 4th November 2016. The objectives of the global agreement commit the EU to further action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and to reassess its contribution to the global commitment of limiting the increase of atmospheric temperature to well below 2 degrees Celsius while pursuing efforts to limit the increase to 1.5 degrees Celsius. The revision of this Directive must be in line with the EU's obligations as a party of the Paris Agreement.

Recital 7
(7) It is thus appropriate to establish a Union binding target of at least 2740% share of renewable energy. Member States should define their contribution to the achievement of this target as part of their Integrated National Energy and Climate Plans through the governance process set out in Regulation [Governance], to be accompanied by national binding targets.

(53a) Since energy poverty affects around 11% of the population and around 50 million households of the Union, renewable energy policies have an essential role to play in addressing energy poverty and consumer vulnerability.

Recital 62
(62) The European Strategy for a low- carbon mobility of July 2016 pointed out that food-based biofuels have a limited role in decarbonising the transport sector and should be gradually phased out and replaced by advanced biofuels. To prepare for the transition towards advanced biofuels and minimise the overall indirect land-use change impacts, it is appropriate to reduce the amount of biofuels and bioliquids produced from food and feed crops that can be counted towards the Union target set out in this Directive. To speed up the deployment of low-emissions alternative energy for transport, electric mobility has to be promoted and all obstacles to the electrification of transport removed.

Recital 63 a (new)
(63a) In view of the overcapacity in the food and feed crop-based biofuels and bioliquids on the market, and the ongoing need to reduce their consumption, financial and other support measures, including in the form of investment and operating aid in new and existing capacity for food and feed crop-based biofuels and bioliquids, can no longer be justified and furthermore biomass fuels produced from food and feed crops.

Recital 64
(64) Advanced biofuels and other biofuels and biogas produced from feedstock listed in Annex IX, renewable liquid and gaseous transport fuels of non- biological origin, and renewable electricity in transport can contribute to low carbon emissions, stimulating the decarbonisation of the Union transport sector in a cost- effective manner, and improving inter alia energy diversification in the transport sector while promoting innovation, growth and jobs in the Union economy and reducing reliance on energy imports. The cascading use principle should be taken into account in order to make sure that the use of feedstock for advanced biofuel production does not compete with other uses in which the feedstock would have to be replaced with more emission intensive raw materials. The incorporation obligation on fuels suppliers should encourage continuous development of advanced fuels, including biofuels, and it is important to ensure that the incorporation obligation also incentivises improvements in the greenhouse gas performance of the fuels supplied to meet it. The Commission should assess the greenhouse gas performance, technical innovation and sustainability of those fuels.

Recital 101
(101) Since the objectives of this Directive, namely to achieve at least 2740% share of energy from renewable sources in the Union's gross final consumption of energy by 2030, cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States but can rather, by reason of the scale of the action, be better achieved at Union level, the Union may adopt measures, in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity as set out in Article 5 of the Treaty on European Union. In accordance with the principle of proportionality, as set out in that Article, this Directive does not go beyond what is necessary in order to achieve those objectives.

Article 3 a (new)
Article 3a Mandatory national overall targets Each Member State shall ensure that the share of energy from renewable sources, calculated in accordance with Articles 7 to 13, in gross final consumption of energy in 2030, is equal to at least its national overall target for the share of energy from renewable sources in that year, as set out in the third column of the table in part A of Annex I. Such mandatory national overall targets shall be consistent with a target of at least a 40 % share of energy from renewable sources in the Union’s gross final consumption of energy in 2030. In order to achieve the targets laid down in this Article more easily, each Member State shall promote and encourage energy efficiency and energy saving.

Article 7 – paragraph 1 – subparagraph 4
Article 7 – paragraph 1 – subparagraph 4
For the calculation of a Member State’s gross final consumption of energy from renewable energy sources, the contribution from biofuels and bioliquids, as well as from biomass fuels consumed in transport, if produced from food or feed crops, shall be no more than 7% of final consumption of energy in road and rail transport in that Member State. This limit shall be reduced to 3,8% in 2030 following the trajectory set out in part A of Annex X. Member States may set a lower limit and may distinguish between different types of biofuels, bioliquids and biomass fuels produced from food and feed crops, for instance by setting a lower limit for the contribution from food or feed crop based biofuels produced from oil crops, taking into account indirect land use change.0% in 2030 following the trajectory set out in part A of Annex X. The contribution from food and feed crop-based biofuels and bioliquids produced from oil crops shall be reduced to 0% no later than 2021;

Article 7 – paragraph 5 – subparagraph 2
The Commission is empowered to adopt delegated acts in accordance with Article 32 to amend the list of feedstocks in parts A and B of Annex IX in order to add feedstocks, but not or to remove them. 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 the cascading use principle, in compliance with the Union sustainability criteria, supporting or contradicting the conclusion that the feedstock in question does not create an additional demand for land and promoting the use of wastes and residues, while avoiding significant distortive effects on markets for (by-)products, wastes or residues, delivering substantial greenhouse gas emission savings compared to fossil fuels based on a life cycle assessment of emissions including emissions from the land sector and possible displacement effects, and not creating risk of negative impacts on the environment and biodiversity.

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 add or remove 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 or to remove them.
