(5) Based on forecasts of biofuel demand provided by the Member States and estimates of indirect land-use change emissions for different biofuel feedstocks, it is likely that greenhouse gas emissions linked to indirect land- use change are significant, and couldwill negate some or all of the greenhouse gas emission savings of individual biofuels. This is because land-based biofuels have received a large amount of public subsidies (EUR 10 billion a year), and therefore almost the entire biofuel production in 2020 is expected to come from crops grown on land that could be used to satisfy food and feed markets. In order to reduce such emissions, it is appropriate to distinguish between crop groups such as oil crops, sugars and cereals and other starch-rich crops accordingly. Furthermore, biofuel production from food crops contributes to food price volatility and may have a significant negative social impact on livelihoods and the ability to implement human rights including the right to food or access to land for local communities living in poverty in countries outside the Union. In order to reduce such emissions and such negative social impact and mitigate such negative effects on food security, it is appropriate to focus, in particular, on reducing the projected use of biofuels grown on land as well as taking into account indirect land-use change emissions when calculating the greenhouse gas emission savings required under the sustainability criteria set out in Directives 2009/28/EC and 98/70/EC. Furthermore, in order to find medium and long-term solutions, it is necessary to encourage research and development in new advanced biofuels sectors that are not in competition with food crops and to further study the impact of different groups of crops on both direct and indirect land-use changes.

(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, which may result in biodiversity loss, water scarcity or soil erosion, water and soil pollution and loss of critical ecosystem services; 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 as well as to a loss of biodiversity. 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.

(7a) Coherence between Directive 98/70/EC, Directive 2009/28/EC and legislation in other areas of Union policy should be improved in order to exploit synergies and improve legal certainty. Definitions of waste and residues for the purposes of Directive 98/70/EC and Directive 2009/28/EC should be harmonised with those established by Directive 2008/98/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council1a. The waste and residues streams listed in Directive 98/70/EC and Directive 2009/28/EC should be better identified by means of the waste codes in the European catalogue of waste established by Commission Decision 2000/532/EC1b in order to facilitate the application of those Directives by competent authorities in the Member States. Promotion of biofuels and bioliquids in accordance with Directive 98/70/EC and Directive 2009/28/EC should be consistent with the objectives and purpose of Directive 2008/98/EC. In order to achieve the Union's goal to move towards a recycling society, the waste hierarchy set out in Article 4 of Directive 2008/98/EC should be fully implemented. With a view to facilitate this, the use of waste and residues for the production of biofuels and bioliquids should become part of the waste management plans and waste prevention programmes established by Member States in accordance with Chapter V of Directive 2008/98/EC. The application of Directive 98/70/EC and Directive 2009/28/EC should not jeopardise the full implementation of Directive 2008/98/EC. _______________ 1a Directive 2008/98/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 19 November 2008 on waste and repealing certain Directives (OJ L 312, 22.11.2008, p. 3). 1b Commission Decision of 3 May 2000 replacing Decision 94/3/EC establishing a list of wastes pursuant to Article 1(a) of Council Directive 75/442/EEC on waste and Council Decision 94/904/EC establishing a list of hazardous waste pursuant to Article 1(4) of Council Directive 91/689/EEC on hazardous waste (notified under document number C(2000) 1147) (OJ L 226, 6.9.2000, p. 3).

(9) In order to ensure the long-term competitiveness of bio-based industrial sectors, and in line with the Commission2012 Communication of 13 February 2012 entitled '"Innovating for Sustainable growth: A Bioeconomy for Europe'" and the Commission Communication of 20 September 2011 entitled '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 other than biofuels or which do not impact on the environment in such a way as to compromise local ecosystems by depriving food crops of land and water.

(11a) Member States should be allowed to channel financial resources currently deployed with a view to achieving, either wholly or in part, their share of energy from biofuels produced from cereal and other starch-rich crops, sugars, oil crops and other land-based energy crops into renewable energies – in particular wind, solar, wave and geothermal energy – that have demonstrated their renewability and sustainability.

(15) The estimated indirect land-use change emissions should be included in the reporting by the Commission of greenhouse gas emissions from biofuels under Directives 98/70/EC and 2009/28counted towards the target in Article 7a(2) of Directive 98/70/EC in order to provide incentives for the biofuels with low indirect land-use change impacts and to ensure the accuracy and credibility of the reduction target for life cycle greenhouse gas emissions. In order to make sure that Union targets for greenhouse gas emission savings and biofuels are meaningful and effectively met, indirect land-use change emissions should be taken into account when calculating the greenhouse gas emission savings required under the sustainability criteria set out in Directive 2009/28/EC and Directive 98/70/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.
