Directive 2009/28/EC
Article 3 – paragraph 4 – subparagraph 2 – point e
(e) Member States shall seek to achieve the objective of a minimum proportion of biofuels produced from feedstocks and other fuels, listed in part A of Annex IX, being consumed on their territory. To that effect, each Member State shall set a national target, which it shall endeavour to achieve. A reference value for this target is 0,5 percentage points in energy content of the share of energy from renewable sources in all forms of transport in 2020 referred to in the first subparagraph, to be met with biofuels produced from feedstocks and other fuels, listed in part A of Annex IX, and which shall be considered to be twice their energy content in accordance with point (f) of this subparagraph and part A of Annex IX. In addition, biofuels made from feedstocks not listed in Annex IX that were determined to be wastes, residues, non- food cellulosic material or ligno-cellulosic material by the competent national authorities and are used in existing installations prior to the adoption of Directive 2014/…/EU+ of the European Parliament and of the Council*, may be counted towards the national target. Member States may set a national target lower than the reference value of 0,5 percentage points, based on one or more of the following grounds: (i) objective factors such as the limited potential for the sustainable production of biofuels produced from feedstocks and other fuels, listed in part A of Annex IX, or the limited availability of such biofuels at cost efficient prices on31 December 2014 shall be considered to be twice their energy content towards the mtarket, taking into account the assessment contained in the Commission report referred to in Article 3(1) of Directive 2014/…/EU. (ii) the specific technical or climatic characteristics of the national market for transport fuels, such as the composition and condition of the road vehicle fleet; or (iii) national policies allocating commensurate financial resources to incentivising the use of electricity from renewable energy sources in transport. The Commission shall publish: – the national targets of the Member States and, where applicable, the grounds for differentiation of their national target as compared to the reference value, notified in accordance with Article 4(2) of Directive 2014/…/EU+; – a synthesis report on Member States' achievements towards their national targets.; __________________ +OJ: please insert the number of this Directivegets for the Member States referred to in the first subparagraph of Article 3(4).
