Recital 11
Recital 11
(11) The estimated indirect land-use change emissions should be included in the reportingcalculation of greenhouse gas emissions from biofuels under Directives 98/70/EC and 2009/28/EC. Biofuels made from feedstocks that do not lead to additional demand for land, such as those from waste feedstocks, should be assigned a zero emissions factor. .

Recital 19
(19) In order to permit adaptation to technical and scientific progress of Directive 2009/28/EC, the power to adopt acts in accordance with Article 290 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union should be delegated to the Commission in respect of the list of biofuel feedstockadvanced biofuels that are counted multiple times towards the sub-target set in Article 3(4), the energy content of transport fuels, criteria and geographic ranges for determining highly biodiverse grassland, the methodology for the calculation of indirect land-use change emissions, and the methodological principles and values necessary for assessing whether sustainability criteria have been fulfilled in relation to biofuels and bioliquids.

Recital 20
Recital 20
(20) The Commission should review the effectiveness of the measures introduced by this Directive, based on the best and latest available scientific evidence, in limiting indirect land-use change greenhouse gas emissions and addressing ways to further minimise that impact, which could include the introduction of estimated indirect land-use change emission factors in the sustainability scheme as of 1st January 2021. The Commission should also review mitigation measures such as use of co-products, yield increases, manufacturing efficiencies and crop production on abandoned land.

Biofuels and bioliquids taken into account for the purposes referred to in points (a), (b) and (c) of paragraph 1 shall not be made from raw material obtained from waste unless independently verified and certified as conforming to the waste hierarchy in Article 4 of Directive 2008/98/EC, namely prevention, preparation for re-use, and recycling before recovery for energy. To this end, the Commission shall be empowered to adopt delegated acts in accordance with Article 25(b) establishing the modalities for independent verification and certification. The modalities shall be adopted by [1 January 2016]."

These mitigation measures may include use of co-products and manufacturing efficiencies, as long as they comply with criteria set in Article 17(2) of this Directive."

Article 3
Article 3
The Commission shall, before 31 December 2017, submit a report to the European Parliament and to the Council reviewing, on the basis of the best latest available scientific evidence, the effectiveness of the measures introduced by this Directive in limiting indirect land- use change greenhouse gas emissions associated with the production of biofuel and bioliquids. The report shall, if appropriate, be accompanied by a legislative proposal based on the best available scientific evidence, for introducing estimated indirect land use change emissions factors intoestablishing the appropriate sustainability criteria to be applied from 1st January 2021 and a review of the effectiveness of the incentives provided for biofuels from non- land using feedstocks and non-food crops under Article 3(4)d of Directive 2009/28/EC.
