Proposal for a directive
Recital 7
(7) It is thus appropriate to establish a Union binding target of at least 2730% share of renewable energy, to be accompanied by national binding targets. Member States should define their contribution topolicies and measures for the achievement of this target as part of their Integrated National Energy and Climate Plans through the governance process set out in Regulation [Governance].

Amendment 57 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 15
(15) Support schemes for electricity generated from renewable sources have proved to be an effective way of fostering deployment of renewable electricity. If and when Member States decide to implement support schemes, such support should be provided in a form that is as non-distortive as possible for the functioning of electricity markets. To this end, an increasing number of Member States allocate support in a form where support is granted in addition to market revenues. Support schemes for electricity from renewable sources should not undermine the principles of the circular economy and the waste hierarchy which rank waste management options according to their sustainability and give the highest priority to preventing and recycling of waste.

Amendment 84 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 63 a (new)
(63a) The Commission should take immediate measures to phase vegetable oils including palm oil as a component of biofuels, that drive deforestation and increase competition for land for the production of food and feed, put at risk our ecosystems or do not significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions, as soon as possible but at latest by 2020. Furthermore, the contribution of transport fuels from palm oil and its derivatives to the share of renewables in transport should be limited until global peatland conversion is halted.

Proposal for a directive
Recital 101
(101) Since the objectives of this Directive, namely to achieve at least 2730% 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.

It sets a binding Unmandatory Union and national targets for the overall share of energy from renewable sources in gross final consumption of energy in 2030. It also lays down rules on financial support to electricity produced from renewable sources, self-consumption of renewable electricity, and renewable energy use in the heating and cooling and transport sectors, regional cooperation between Member States and with third countries, guarantees of origin, administrative procedures, and information and training. It establishes sustainability and greenhouse gas emissions saving criteria for biofuels, bioliquids and biomass fuels.
