Amendment 143 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 6
(6) The main purpose of binding targets is to provide certainty for investors. Deferring a decision about whether a target is binding until a future event takes place is thus not appropriate. In a statement to the minutes of the Council of 15 February 2007, the Commission therefore stated that it did not consider that the binding nature of the target should be deferred until second generation biofuels became commercially available. However, the current debate on the competition between crops for biofuels and crops for food production suggests that the binding nature of targets in the case of biofuels should be regularly examined. Comprehensive and stringent sustainability requirements and the rapid introduction of second-generation biofuels should therefore form a central plank of European policy.

Amendment 154 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 9
(9) Member States' starting points, renewable energy potentials and energy mixes vary. It is therefore necessary to translate the overall 20% target into individual targets for each Member State, with due regard to a fair and adequate allocation taking account of different national starting points and potentials, including the existing level of renewable energies and energy mix. It is appropriate to do this by sharing the required total increase in the use of energy from renewable sources between Member States on the basis of an equal increase in each Member State's share weighted by their Gross Domestic Product, modulated to reflect national starting points, and by accounting in terms of finalprimary energy consumption. Such accounting must give due consideration to efforts already made.

Amendment 214 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 19
(19) To create opportunities for reducing the cost of achieving the targets laid down in this Directive, it is appropriate both to facilitate the consumption in Member States of energy produced from renewable sources in other Member States, and also to enable Member States to count electricity, heating and cooling consumed in other Member States towards their own national targets. For this reason, harmonised provisions for the design and transfer of guarantees of origin in these sectors should be adopted. Similarly, the system of guarantees of origin should also apply to biofuels and other bioliquids which provides for greater flexibility and reduced cost in meeting the biofuels objectives. Harmonised provisions for a separate tradable credit system for biofuels and other bioliquids should therefore also be adopted.

Amendment 233 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 26
(26) At national and regional level, rules and obligations for minimum requirements of renewable energy use in new and refurbished buildings have led to considerable increases in renewable energy use. These measures should be encouraged in a wider European context, while promoting more energy- efficient renewable energy applications in building codes and regulations.

Amendment 243 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 28
(28) A coordinated approach is needed to develop training and appropriate certification should be made available to small scale renewable energy equipment installers in order to avoid market distortions and to ensure high quality products and service provision for consumers. National certification schemes should be mutually recognised by Member States and should therefore be based on minimum harmonised principles, taking into account European technology standards, and existing training and qualification regimes for renewable energy equipment installers. Directive 2005/36/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 7 September 2005 on the recognition of professional qualifications should continue to apply to issues not governed by this Directive, such as the recognition of professional qualifications of installers notgovern the recognition of professional qualifications for regulated professions. In so far as entering or exercising the profession of installer is regulated, the preconditions for recognition of professional qualifications are laid down in Directive 2005/36/EC; these preconditions should also apply to installers certified in onea Member State.

(31) In certain circumstances it is not possible to fully ensure transmission and distribution of electricity produced from renewable energy sources without affecting the reliability and safety of the grid system. In these circumstances it may be appropriate for financial compensation to be given to those producersshould be possible to require the network operator to consider increasing network capacity.

Amendment 272 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 38
(38) In order to prevent unnecessary burdensome research by economic operatobiofuels providers and in order to prevent conversion of high- carbon-stock land that in hindsight would prove to be not eligible for producing raw materials for biofuels and other bioliquids, those types of land whose carbon stock loss upon conversion could not, within a reasonable period taking into account the urgency of tackling climate change, be compensated by the greenhouse gas savings of producing biofuels and other bioliquids, should not be converted for the production of biofuels and other bioliquids. Inventories of worldwide carbon stocks lead to the conclusion that wetlands and continuously forested areas should be included in this category.

Amendment 283 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 41
(41) The environmental sustainability criteria will only be effective if they lead to changes in the behaviour of market actors. Market actors will only change their behaviour if biofuels and other bioliquids meeting the criteria command a price premium compared to those that do not. According to the mass balance method of verifying compliance, there is a physical link between the production of biofuels and other bioliquids meeting the criteria and the consumption of biofuels and other bioliquids in the Community, providing an appropriate balance between supply and demand and ensuring a price premium that is greater than in systems where there is no such link. Therefore to ensure that biofuels and other bioliquids meeting the environmental sustainability criteria can be sold at a higher price, maintaining the integrity of the system while at the same time avoiding imposing an unreasonable burden on industry, the mass balance system should be used to verify compliance. Other verification methods should however be reviewed.deleted

Proposal for a directive
Recital 52
(52) When designing their support systems, Member States may, for a limited period, encourage the use of or investments in biofuels which give additional benefits – including the benefits of diversification offered by biofuels made from wastes, residues, non-food cellulosic material, and ligno-cellulosic material – by taking due account of the different costs of producing energy from traditional biofuels on the one hand and of these biofuels which give additional benefits on the other hand. Member States may encourage investment in the development of renewable energy technologies that need time to become competitiveallocated on the basis of documented inherent greenhouse gas emission reduction capabilities. This would allow the development of better performing biofuel production chains.

Article 6 a (new)
Article 6a 1. Member States shall ensure that when a quantity of biofuel meeting the necessary sustainability criteria as set-out in Article 15 is supplied for consumption as a transport fuel in a Member State, the biofuel supplier shall have the option of receiving sufficient biofuel tradable credits in respect of that quantity of biofuel supplied - on an energy basis - as an alternative to the award of any financial support or recognition under any applying biofuel obligation or regulations. 2. To that end, Member States shall ensure that such a biofuel tradable credit is issued in response to a request from a supplier of biofuel. Conditions applying to a biofuel tradable credit are: (a) a biofuel tradable credit shall be of a defined unit of energy (for example 1 GJ); (b) no more than one biofuel tradable credit shall be issued for each GJ of biofuel that is passed for consumption as a transport fuel in a Member State; (c) a biofuel tradable credit will not be issued for biofuels that do not meet the Sustainability Criteria as set-out in Article 15; on issuing a biofuel tradable credit a Member State shall not record the associated biofuel quantity against its biofuel target, nor against any biofuel obligation, nor will the biofuel be eligible for any financial support in the market concerned. 3. Member States shall ensure that biofuel tradable credits: (a) are issued, transferred and cancelled electronically; (b) are accurate, reliable and fraud- resistant; (c) contain sufficient information to allow for the adequate administration and tracking of credits and any additional information necessary for compliance with national biofuel regulations. 4. Member States shall recognise biofuel tradable credits issued by other Member States in accordance with this Directive. Any refusal by a Member State to recognise a biofuel tradable credit shall be based on objective, transparent and non-discriminatory criteria.

Annex VII – Part C – paragraph 1
1. Greenhouse gas emissions from the production and use of transport fuels, biofuels and other bioliquids shall be calculated as: E = eec + el + ep + etd + eu – eccs - eccr – eee, where E = total emissions from the use of the bio fuel; eec = emissions from the extraction or cultivation of raw materials; el = annualised emissions from carbon stock changes caused by land use change; ep = emissions from processing; etd = emissions from transport and distribution; eu = emissions from the fuel in use; eccs = emission savings from carbon capture and sequestration; eccr = emission savings from carbon capture and replacement; and eee = emission savings from excess electricity from cogeneration. Emissions from the manufacture of machinery and equipment shall not be taken into account.

Annex VII – Part C – paragraph 6
6. Emissions from the extraction or cultivation of raw materials, eec, shall include emissions from the extraction or cultivation process itself; from the collection of raw materials; from waste and leakages; and from the production of chemicals or products used in extraction or cultivation. Capture of CO2 in the cultivation of raw materials shall be excluded. Certified reductions of greenhouse gas emissions from flaring at oil production sites anywhere in the world shall be deducted. Estimates of emissions from cultivation may be derived from the use of averages calculated for smaller geographical areas than those used in the calculation of the default values, as an alternative to using actual values.

Amendment 1105 #
Proposal for a directive
Annex VII – part C – paragraph 14
14. Emission savings from excess electricity from cogeneration, eee, shall be taken into account in relation to the excess electricity produced by fuel production systems that use cogeneration except where the fuel used for the cogeneration is a co- product other than an agricultural crop residue. In accounting for this excess electricity, the size of the cogeneration unit shall be assumed to be the minimum necessary for the cogeneration unit to supply the heat that is needed to produce the fuel. The greenhouse gas emission savings associated with this excess electricity shall be taken to be equal to the average amount of greenhouse gas that would be emitted when an equal amount of electricity was generated in a power plant using the same fuel as the cogeneration unitand distributed in the EU.
