Recital 3
(3) Article 17 of Directive 2009/28/EC establishes sustainability criteria that biofuels and bioliquids need to comply with in order to be counted towards the targets in the Directive and to qualify for inclusion in public support schemes. These criteria include requirements concerning the protection of biodiversity-rich land and land with high carbon stock. These criteria also include requirements on the minimum greenhouse gas emission savings that biofuels and bioliquids need to achieve compared to fossil fuels. Identical sustainability criteria are established for biofuels under Article 7b of Directive 98/70/EC.

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.
