Amendment 2 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 1
Paragraph 1
1. Maintains that reducing the EU's greenhouse gas emissions, thereby realisingin line with the 2015 Paris Agreement, also depends, to a large extent, on achieving EUthe EU's climate and energy policy goals in the field of renewable energy; highlights, in this regard, that the current 2020 energy strategy and energy goals will be insufficient to reach the 2050 decarbonisation target; calls, therefore, on the Commission and Member States to use the momentum of the Paris Agreement to step up the long-term efforts in achieving the internationally agreed targets to keep global warming well below 2 degrees Celsius; stresses, in this regard, the urgency of a clear and stable long- term policy framework for the roll-out of renewable energy;

5. Expresses concern at the fact that progress has slowed in meeting the EU's 10% target for renewable energy use in the transport sector and draws attention to the importance of reaching that goal from the point of view of lowering greenhouse gas emission levels and reducing EU dependency on imported energy; calls on the Commission to promote a legislative framework offering prospects for advanced biofuels in the period after 2020 and, by providing an appropriate at least up to 2050 with a view of phasing out subsidies that currently distort the market and providing clarity and incentives to their use, to help open up 'green' jobs while averting adverse effects of indirect land- use change;

Paragraph 5
Paragraph 5
5. Expresses concern at the fact that progress has slowed in meeting the EU’s 10% target for renewable energy use in the transport sector, and recalls that transport is the only sector in the EU where GHGs emissions have risen since 1990; calls on the Member States to intensify their efforts in order to meet this target in due time; draws attention to the importance of reaching that goal from the point of view of lowering greenhouse gas emission levels and reducing EU dependency on imported energy; calls on the Commission to consider laying down an ambitious target for renewable energy use in the transport sector and to promote a legislative framework offering prospects for advanced biofuels in the period after 2020 and, by providing an appropriate incentive to their use, to help open up ‘green’ jobs while averting adverse effects of indirect land- use change;
