Recital 4
(4) Where pasture or agricultural land previously destined for the food, feed and fibre markets is diverted to biofuel production, the non-fuel demand will still need to be satisfied either through intensification of current production or by bringing non-agricultural land into production elsewhere. The latter case represents indirect land-use change and when it involves the conversion of high carbon stock land it can lead to significant greenhouse gas emissions. Directives 98/70/EC and 2009/28/EC should therefore include provisions to address indirect land use change given that current biofuels are mainly produced from crops grown on existing agricultural land. The aim of this Directive should be to tackle these problems and promote the use of non- food feedstocks as biofuel feedstocks.

Recital 7
(7) In order to ensure the long-term competitiveness of bio-based industrial sectors, and in line with the 2012 Communication "Innovating for Sustainable growth: A Bioeconomy for Europe" and the Roadmap to a Resource Efficient Europe, promoting integrated and diversified biorefineries across Europe, enhanced incentives under Directive 2009/28/EC should be set in a way that gives preference to the use of biomass feedstocks that do not have a high economic value for other uses than second generation and advanced biofuels.

Recital 11 a (new)
(11a) Forests provide a wide variety of environmental, economic and social benefits and services of key importance to humanity, such as maintaining biodiversity, providing low emission feedstocks and ecosystem functions and protecting the climate system. Sustainability criteria for forest-based biomass already exists in RES-directive and the European Commission will also make further recommendations concerning the sustainability criteria for solid biomass in order to address the concerns regarding the growing demand of imported wood biomass. EU Member States have the relevant instruments and regulations in place which safeguard the sustainability of forest biomass. In order to avoid double regulation and bureaucratic burden it is not necessary to define new sustainability criteria for forest biomass in this directive.

Article 3 – paragraph 2 – subparagraph 2
Article 3 – paragraph 2 – subparagraph 2
The report referred to in the first subparagraph shall, if appropriate, be accompanied by a legislative proposal, based on the best available scientific evidence, for introducing adjusted estimated indirect land-use change emissions factors into the appropriate sustainability criteria an. It shall also be accompanied by a review of the effectiveness of the incentives provided for biofuels from non-land using feedstocks and non-food crops under Article 3(4) of Directive 2009/28/EC and, if appropriate, by a technology-neutral legislative proposal for promoting sustainable advanced biofuels after 2020. In this regard, the Commission is invited to consider the important role of Directive 98/70/EC in promoting sustainable biofuels in a 2030 framework for climate and energy policies and review the targets under Directive 98/70/EC. One option in this regards is for the Commission to consider coming with a proposal for a Union-level blending mandate for advanced biofuels post-2020 that comply with the sustainability criteria of Directive 98/70/EC. As part of that report, the Commission shall, in light of Member States' reports pursuant to Article 3(5) of Directive 2009/28/EC, assess the effectiveness of measures taken to prevent and fight fraud, and shall, if appropriate, submit proposals for further measures, including on additional measures to be taken at Union level.
