Recital 18
(18) In the case of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and natural gas used as propellantsused as motor fuel, advantages in the form of lower minimum levels of general energy consumption taxation or the possibility to exempt those energy productssuch fuel from taxation are no longer justified, in particular in the light of the need to increase the market share of renewable energy sources, and should therefore be removed in the medium term.

Recital 18 a (new)
(18a) An exception should, however, be permissible in the case of natural gas and biomethane used as transport fuel, since these are to play a key role in meeting the 10% renewable energy target in the transport sector. In view of that fact, exemption from energy taxation is justified; at least until such time as the EU target has been met. Exceptional treatment of this kind, moreover, helps to promote diversification of energy sources in the transport sector, which depends almost wholly on petroleum products, and thus makes for greater security of supply.
