(9) The national targets and indirect target values set for 2020 should constitute Member States' minimum contribution to the new 2030 framework. Under no circumstances the national share of renewables in the energy sector should fall below such contribution and, in case this happens, the relevant Member States should take the appropriate measures to ensure that this baseline is maintained as well as contribute to the financial instrument referred to in Regulation [Governance].

(62) The European Strategy for a low- carbon mobility of July 2016 pointed out that food-based biofuels have a limited role ingreater effort is needed to further decarbonisinge the transport sector and should be gradually phased out and replaced by advanced biofuels. To prepare for the transition towards. To promote ‘highly sustainable crop-based biofuels’ and advanced biofuels, and minimise the overall indirect land-use change impactto provide certainty for investors, it is appropriate to reduce the amountmaintain the 7 % share of biofuels and bioliquids produced from food and feed crops in the total consumption of energy in transport that can be counted towards the Union target set out in this Directive.

(63) Directive (EU) 2015/151323 of the European Parliament and of the Council called on the Commission to present without delay a comprehensive proposal for a cost-effective and technology-neutral post-2020 policy in order to create a long- term perspective for investment in sustainable biofuels with a low risk of causing indirect land-use change and in other means of decarbonising the transport sector. An incorporationambitious 15 % obligation imposed on fuel suppliers can provide certainty for investors, ensure that decarbonisation in the transport sector is achieved, and encourage the continuous development of alternative renewable transport fuels including advanced biofuels, renewable liquid and gaseous transport fuels of non-biological origin, and renewable electricity in transport. It is appropriate to set the obligation on fuel suppliers at the same level in each Member State in order to ensure consistency in transport fuel specifications and availability. As transport fuels are traded easily, fuel suppliers in Member States with low endowments of the relevant resources should be able to easily obtain renewable fuels from elsewhere. _________________ 23 Directive (EU) 2015/1513 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 September 2015 amending Directive 98/70/EC relating to the quality of petrol and diesel fuels and amending Directive 2009/28/EC on the promotion of the use of energy from renewable sources (OJ L 239, 15.9.2015, p. 1).

Article 2 a (new)
Article 2a (new) ‘Highly sustainable crop-based biofuels’ shall mean biofuels which: - are produced from cereals, other starch- rich crops, sugars and oil crops, - make it possible to reduce GHG emissions by at least 60 %, as compared with fossil fuels, in accordance with the methodology laid down in Article 28(1), and – generate high value proteins, other livestock feed or cellulosic by-products; are produced from feedstocks obtained in accordance with the requirements and standards established under the provisions referred to Article 93 of Regulation (EU) No 1306/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 December 2013 on the financing, management and monitoring of the common agricultural policy; or are certified to be in compliance with equivalent sustainability standards.
