Recital 16
Recital 16
(16) Development and deployment of sustainable aviation fuels with a high potential for sustainability, commercial maturity and a high potential for innovation and growth to meet future needs should be promoted. This should support creating innovative and competitive fuels markets and ensure sufficient supply of sustainable aviation fuels for aviation in short and long term to contribute to Union transport decarbonisation ambitions, while strengthening Union’s efforts towards a high level of environmental protection. For this purpose, sustainableynthetic aviation fuels produced from feedstock listed in Parts A and B of Annex IXand biofuels which are not subject to high ILUC risk and comply with the sustainability and greenhouse gas emissions criteria laid down in Article 29(2) to (7) of Directive (EU) 2018/2001, as well as synthetic aviation fuels should be eligible. In particular, sustainable aviation fuels produced from feedstock listed in Part B of Annex IX of Directive (EU) 2018/2001 are essential, as currently the most commercially mature technology to decarbonise air transport already in the short termnd are certified in accordance with Article 30 of this Directive should be eligible. New production capacities need to be created while at the same time existing feedstock for biofuels and biogas should be used in production pathways with the highest environmental benefits in terms of GHG-emission reduction and GHG-intensity.

Recital 32 a (new)
(32 a) Given that this Regulation will generate additional costs for affected sectors and therefore for passengers, compensatory actions need to be taken. The Commission should therefore be obliged to present respective proposals before entry into force of this Regulation. The proposals should support necessary investments and offset the new financial burdens. Addressing on the one hand measures at EU level, such as enforcing public private partnerships, a targeted investment strategy and a clear allocation of financial resources by establishing a dedicated innovation fund, and on the other hand measures at Member States level such as reduction of taxes, charges and levies as well as the costs and duration of certification processes.

Recital 32 b (new)
Recital 32 b (new)
(32 b) Research and innovation will play a substantial role in the development of sustainable and synthetic aviation fuels and the production capacity building. A respective investment priority should be clearly set within the relevant EU funding programmes identified by the Commission, i.e. Horizon Europe, Connecting Europe Facility, EU ETS Innovation Fund, InvestEU. A number of calls should be reserved to respective R&D activities.
