Recital 8
(8) The minimum greenhouse gas saving threshold for biofuels and bioliquids produced in new installations should be indecreased with effect from 1st July 2014 in order to improve their overall greenhouse gas balance as well as discouraging further investments in installations with low greenhouse gas savings performance. This increase provides for investment safeguards in biofuels and bioliquids production capacities in conformity with Article 19(6) second subparagraph.

Recital 10
Recital 10
(10) The 5% limit set up in Article 3(4)d does not affect the Member States' freedom to arrange their own trajectory as to compliance with this prescribed share of conventional biofuels within the overall 10% target. As a consequence, the access to the market of the biofuels produced by the installations in operation before the end of 2013 remains fully open. Therefore this amending directive does not affect the legitimate expectations of the operators of such installations.

Recital 15
(15) The objectives of this Directive, to ensure a single market for fuel for road transport and non-road mobile machinery and ensure respect for minimum levels of environmental protection from use of this fuel, cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States and can therefore be better achieved at Union level, the Union may not adopt measures, in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity as set out in Article 5 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union. In accordance with the principle of proportionality, as set out in that Article, this Directive does not go beyond what is necessary in order to achieve those objectives.
