Recital 8 a (new)
(8a) The renewable energy potential and the energy mix of each Member State vary. Member States in Central and Eastern Europe, such as Croatia, have huge potential to produce sustainable crop based biofuels with low to zero ILUC impacts, which have the potential to provide Europe with a cleaner energy mix for road transport, which have huge potential to reduce GHG and other harmful emissions, which can provide thousands of jobs and which can help to secure farm incomes and, as a co-product, which produce the non GMO high protein animal feed needed to address the EU's massive animal feed deficit. A balanced Renewable Energy Policy has to recognize that potential and contain measures that support all sustainable biofuel development.
