of 13 July 2009

amending Regulation (EC) No 474/2006 establishing the Community list of air carriers which are subject to an operating ban within the Community

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 2111/2005 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14 December 2005 on the establishment of a Community list of air carriers subject to an operating ban within the Community and on informing air transport passengers of the identity of the operating air carrier, and repealing Article 9 of Directive 2004/36/EC (1), and in particular Article 4 thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | Commission Regulation (EC) No 474/2006 of 22 March 2006 establishing the Community list of air carriers which are subject to an operating ban within the Community referred to in Chapter II of Regulation (EC) No 2111/2005 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2). |

| (2) | In accordance with Article 4(3) of Regulation (EC) No 2111/2005, some Member States communicated to the Commission information that is relevant in the context of updating the Community list. Relevant information was also communicated by third countries. On this basis, the Community list should be updated. |

(2)

In accordance with Article 4(3) of Regulation (EC) No 2111/2005, some Member States communicated to the Commission information that is relevant in the context of updating the Community list. Relevant information was also communicated by third countries. On this basis, the Community list should be updated.

| (3) | The Commission informed all air carriers concerned either directly or, when this was not practicable, through the authorities responsible for their regulatory oversight, indicating the essential facts and considerations which would form the basis for a decision to impose on them an operating ban within the Community or to modify the conditions of an operating ban imposed on an air carrier which is included in the Community list. |

| (4) | Opportunity was given by the Commission to the air carriers concerned to consult the documents provided by Member States, to submit written comments and to make an oral presentation to the Commission within 10 working days and to the Air Safety Committee established by Council Regulation (EEC) No 3922/91 of 16 December 1991 on the harmonization of technical requirements and administrative procedures in the field of civil aviation (3). |

| (7) | Following information resulting from SAFA ramp checks carried out on aircraft of certain Community air carriers, as well as area specific inspections and audits carried out by their national aviation authorities, some Member States have taken certain enforcement measures. They informed the Commission and the Air Safety Committee about these measures: the competent authorities of Greece informed that the Air Operator Certificate (AOC) of the carrier EuroAir Ltd had been withdrawn on 8 May 2009; the competent authorities of Sweden informed that they had withdrawn on 23 January 2009 the AOC of the carrier of Nordic Airways AB (‘Regional’) and on 31 March 2009 that of the carrier Fly Excellence AB. |

| (8) | On 8 April 2009, the competent authorities of Thailand (the Thai Department of Civil Aviation — Thai DCA) informed the Commission that they have revoked the AOC of the carrier One Two Go. Although One Two Go had filed appeal against the revocation order, the Thai DCA has re-affirmed such order on 4 May 2009. |

On 8 April 2009, the competent authorities of Thailand (the Thai Department of Civil Aviation — Thai DCA) informed the Commission that they have revoked the AOC of the carrier One Two Go. Although One Two Go had filed appeal against the revocation order, the Thai DCA has re-affirmed such order on 4 May 2009.

| (9) | Therefore, taking into account that the operator has lost its AOC, and that as a consequence its operating licence cannot be considered as valid, on the basis of the common criteria, it is assessed that the One Two Go is no longer an ‘air carrier’ as defined by Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 2111/2005, and should therefore be removed from Annex A. |

| (12) | Following the adoption of Regulation (EC) No 298/2009 a team of European experts carried out a visit in Ukraine from 25 to 29 May 2009 to verify the status of implementation of the action plan submitted by the competent authorities of Ukraine to enhance oversight as well as the safety situation of the two carriers whose operations are subject to an operating ban in the Community — Ukraine Cargo Airways and Ukrainian Mediterranean Airlines. Also, with a view to verifying the exercise of oversight by the State Aviation Administration of Ukraine, the EC team of experts met with two carriers — South Airlines and Khors Air Company, which operate in to the Community and have been subject to ramp checks in the Community and in other ECAC states. |

| (13) | The State Aviation Administration has made limited progress in the implementation of its action plan. All actions (12/12) identified by the State Aviation Administration in its action plan submitted on 31 May 2008 to enhance the exercise of oversight remain open so far. No certification according to the requirements announced by the State Aviation Administration has taken place, the corresponding legislation has not been enacted and the completion of the corrective actions will not be completed before July 2011 at the earliest, for some implementation has slipped to 2015. |

| (14) | The implementation of the action plan is directly linked to the complexity of the legal system of Ukraine which does not permit to identify clearly the standards used for approval of aircraft and operators and whether they actually comply with annexes of the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO). This was confirmed during meetings with the four operators. |

This was confirmed during meetings with the four operators.

| (15) | Also, the report of the visit reveals that the competent authorities of Ukraine do not have sufficient qualified personnel to carry out the oversight of 74 AOC holders (airworthiness and operations). The implementation of the continuing oversight activities could not be fully demonstrated and the comments presented by the competent authorities of Ukraine after the visit could not clarify these matters. Also, careful review of the AOC system used by the competent authorities of Ukraine shows that this system does not provide for clear identification of the regulations/standards applied for certification nor for certainty about the exact fleet authorised for operations and the exact authorisations held. |

| (16) | The competent authorities of Ukraine submitted comments which were not sufficient to remove the findings raised during the visit. The various corrective actions announced by these authorities will need to be closely monitored and evaluated on a regular basis taking also into account the results of the ICAO USOAP visit carried out in June 2008. Also, following the visit, the competent authorities of Ukraine submitted a new corrective action plan, whose implementation depends on the adoption of a new aviation law in Ukraine the adoption of which is planned for 2010. Hence the adoption of various implementing rules will not be completed before the second half of 2011 for aircraft operations, end 2012 for flight crew licensing and end of 2015 for continuing airworthiness. |

Furthermore, Member States will verify systematically the effective compliance with relevant safety standards through the prioritisation of ramp inspections to be carried out on aircraft of carriers licensed in Ukraine pursuant to Commission Regulation (EC) No 351/2008 (5). |

| (18) | Following the adoption of Regulation (EC) No 298/2009 the carrier was invited to present any relevant information including corrective actions to redress the previously detected safety deficiencies. The competent authorities of Ukraine submitted information clarifying the actions taken on the AOC of the carrier. Motor Sich submitted documentation on 4 June 2009 stating that the company had carried out a root cause analysis and had drawn up corrective actions to resolve any safety deficiencies. Its analysis and corrective actions were approved by the competent authorities of Ukraine. Also, the company addressed on 15 June correspondence including corrective actions to the competent authorities of France which had performed an inspection (6) on the aircraft AN-12 (UR-11819). The corrective action plan indicates that the manuals and documentation of the company (operation manual and flight manual) have been modified to bring them into conformity with ICAO standards and allowing for a correct flight preparation. |

Its analysis and corrective actions were approved by the competent authorities of Ukraine. Also, the company addressed on 15 June correspondence including corrective actions to the competent authorities of France which had performed an inspection (6) on the aircraft AN-12 (UR-11819). The corrective action plan indicates that the manuals and documentation of the company (operation manual and flight manual) have been modified to bring them into conformity with ICAO standards and allowing for a correct flight preparation.

A safety department was established and a focal point for SAFA inspections nominated. The training procedures were also revised and improved. Nevertheless, while UMAir contends having completed the implementation of its corrective action plan, as verified by the competent authorities of Ukraine, sampled corrective actions by the team show that some deficiencies remain: Corrective actions undertaken by UMAir in relation to the load-sheet/dry operating index do not appear to be effectively applied for all aircraft types on the AOC. Some remedial actions for deficiencies noted during SAFA inspection are not being systematically corrected including determination of their root cause (oil leak on engine, missing screws, performance limitation in MEL, etc). |

| (28) | Furthermore, significant safety findings were raised in the area of operations and continuing airworthiness, maintenance and engineering: a clear procedure to be applied by UMAir flight crew in case of an en route engine failure (drift-down) is not available and in the operations manual, the procedure to declare an emergency when during the flight the expected/calculated fuel at landing is expected to be below the minimum, is missing. Also, no evidence of compliance with airworthiness directives for an aircraft (UR-CFF) and its engine could be presented, various deficiencies for the aircraft of type DC-9 and MD 83 were found and the program rules of the corrosion prevention and control program (CPCP, Corrosion Level identification and reporting rules) are not followed. With regard to the quality system of the carrier, the EC team found in its report that the organization could not demonstrate that all aspects of the maintenance and flight operational processes are audited on a regular basis; actions implemented do not always take the root cause into account and there is no overall system to control the open findings (internal and external audits including Ukraine SAA findings). |

| (32) | Following the USOAP audit of Kazakhstan carried out in April 2009, ICAO has notified to all states party to the Chicago convention the existence of significant safety concerns affecting the safety oversight of carriers and aircraft registered in Kazakhstan, one related to operations (7) and one related to airworthiness (8), according which the certification process used in Kazakhstan for the issuance of an Air Operator Certificate (AOC) does not address all the applicable provisions of ICAO Annex 6. Most of the existing AOCs have been issued without the involvement of a qualified airworthiness inspector. In particular, the following items are not addressed as part of the certification process: submission of maintenance programmes, review of minimum equipment lists (MEL), continuing airworthiness requirements for the issue of specific operations approvals such as ETOPS and CAT III. Further, the majority of the certificates of airworthiness have been issued without technical inspection of the aircraft and periodic aircraft inspections have not been conducted by the competent authorities of Kazakhstan. Corrective actions plans proposed by these authorities were not considered acceptable by ICAO as they do not include firm implementation dates for the immediate correctives actions to resolve these significant safety concerns. |

Air carriers from Zambia

| (43) | Following the suspension of operations of the Zambian flag carrier Zambian Airways in January 2009 and the publication by ICAO of a significant safety concern in February 2009 after the USOAP Audit visit regarding aircraft operations, certification and supervision exercised by the Civil Aviation Authority of Zambia, the Commission requested information from these authorities in April 2009 to verify the implementation of corrective actions to redress this concern. The significant safety concern relates to the fact that the Department of Civil Aviation (DCA) of Zambia has issued 21 Air Service Permits to commercial air operators, with some including the permission to conduct international operations. These Air Service Permits address economic rather than safety-related issues. The holders of these Air Service Permits operate international flights, even though the operations and airworthiness inspections required prior to the issuance of an AOC have not been conducted. In addition, reports of DCA periodic inspections identify safety deficiencies, with no record of their resolution. |

| (49) | The visit showed that the current level of effectiveness of DGCA surveillance on the four above-mentioned carriers, coupled with their recertification ensures compliance with the new requirements and is considered adequate. The oversight system has been enhanced to allow for appropriate follow-up of findings raised by the DGCA on Indonesian carriers. DGCA has developed a system to efficiently manage the information coming from surveillance activities and, consequently, to track the target and actual date for the closure of a finding as well as for any extension granted by the DGCA. |

1.   SUMMARY OF NATIONAL RENEWABLE ENERGY POLICY

Please give a short overview of the national renewable energy policy describing the objectives of the policy (such as security of supply, environmental, economic and social benefits) and the main strategic lines of action.

2.   EXPECTED FINAL ENERGY CONSUMPTION 2010-2020

In this section, Member States are required to set out their estimates of gross final energy consumption of all types of energy (from both renewable and conventional sources), overall and for each sector, in the period up to 2020.

These estimates have to also take into account the expected effects of energy efficiency and saving measures to be introduced during the period. Under the heading ‘reference scenario’ a scenario has to be presented taking into account only the energy efficiency and savings measures adopted before 2009. Under the heading ‘additional energy efficiency scenario’ a scenario has to be presented taking into account all measures to be adopted from 2009. The elaboration of the other parts of the NREAP is based on this additional energy efficiency scenario.

The term ‘consumption for heating and cooling’ has to be understood as the derived heat produced (heat sold), plus the final consumption of all other energy commodities except electricity in end-use sectors such as industry, households, services, agriculture, forestry and fisheries. The notion of heating and cooling covers therefore also final energy consumption for processing. Electricity may also be used for heating and cooling in final consumption, but this electricity is covered in the electricity target, which is why it is excluded here.

According to Article 5(6) of Directive 2009/28/EC, for the purpose of measuring compliance with the 2020 target and the interim trajectory, the amount of energy consumed in aviation is to be considered to be no more than 6,18 % of the Member State's gross final energy consumption (4,12 % for Cyprus and Malta). The appropriate adjustments (if any) could be made in the table. The box shows how to calculate this

| BOX — How to calculate the ‘aviation capping mechanism’ in the Renewable Energy Directive

  Assume Country A has a share of aviation energy consumption (AEC) of its total gross final energy consumption (GFEC) of X:
  X = AEC/GFEC
  Assume X > 6,18 %
  In this case the cap implies that for the purpose of assessing compliance,
  GFECadjusted = GFEC – AEC + AECadjusted
  where AECadjusted = 0,0618 * GFEC
  In other terms
  GFECadjusted = GFEC – AEC + 0,0618 * GFEC =
  = GFEC – X * GFEC + 0,0618 * GFEC =
  = GFEC * (1,0618 – X)
  The ‘adjustment’ as a % of the real GFEC and as a function of X is therefore
  Adjustment = (GFEC – GFECadjusted)/GFEC =
  = X – 0,0618 |

BOX — How to calculate the ‘aviation capping mechanism’ in the Renewable Energy Directive

Assume Country A has a share of aviation energy consumption (AEC) of its total gross final energy consumption (GFEC) of X:

X = AEC/GFEC

Assume X > 6,18 %

In this case the cap implies that for the purpose of assessing compliance,

GFECadjusted = GFEC – AEC + AECadjusted

where AECadjusted = 0,0618 * GFEC

In other terms

GFECadjusted = GFEC – AEC + 0,0618 * GFEC =

= GFEC – X * GFEC + 0,0618 * GFEC =

= GFEC * (1,0618 – X)

The ‘adjustment’ as a % of the real GFEC and as a function of X is therefore

Adjustment = (GFEC – GFECadjusted)/GFEC =

= X – 0,0618

NB: In the case of Cyprus and Malta, the figures of 4,12 % and 0,0412 should replace the figures of 6,18 % and 0,0618 respectively.

Member States may choose to look to the flexibility measures in Articles 6, 7, 8 and 11 of Directive 2009/28/EC with a view to making some of their own renewable energy consumption available to count towards the targets of other Member State(s) — or with a view to counting energy from renewable sources consumed in other Member State(s) towards their own targets. In addition they may use physical imports from third countries of electricity from renewable energy sources in accordance with the provisions of Articles 9 and 10 of Directive 2009/28/EC.

Any assessments of the renewable energy potential of your country can be attached in annex.

Any renewable energy targets at regional level or in major cities or in major energy consuming industries supporting the national renewable energy target fulfilment can also be attached in annex.

3.2.   Sectoral targets and trajectories

According to Article 4(1) of Directive 2009/28/EC, Member States are required to set their targets for the share of energy from renewable sources in 2020 in the following sectors:

| — | heating and cooling, |
| --- | --- |

—

heating and cooling,

| — | electricity, |
| --- | --- |

—

electricity,

| — | transport. |
| --- | --- |

—

transport.

The total of the three sectoral targets, translated into expected volumes (ktoe) including the planned use of flexibility measures, has to be at least as high as the expected amount of energy from renewable sources that corresponds to the Member State’s 2020 target (as reported in the last cell of Table 2).

The transport target, in addition, has to be compatible with the requirements of Article 3(4) of Directive 2009/28/EC for a 10 % share of renewable energy in transport. It should, however, be noted that the calculation of compliance with the target in Article 3(4) differs from the calculation of transport’s contribution to the Member State’s overall national target for renewable energy.

For the transport target, and not for the overall target:

| — | Among petroleum products, only petrol and diesel count towards the denominator. This means that the kerosene/jet fuel used in aviation and the fuel oil used in shipping do not count (though the diesel used by some trains and some inland waterway vessels does), |
| --- | --- |

—

Among petroleum products, only petrol and diesel count towards the denominator. This means that the kerosene/jet fuel used in aviation and the fuel oil used in shipping do not count (though the diesel used by some trains and some inland waterway vessels does),

| — | Biofuels from wastes, residues, non-food cellulosic material and ligno-cellulosic material count double towards the numerator, |
| --- | --- |

—

Biofuels from wastes, residues, non-food cellulosic material and ligno-cellulosic material count double towards the numerator,

| — | Electricity from renewable sources used in road vehicles counts 2,5 times towards the numerator and the denominator. |
| --- | --- |

—

Electricity from renewable sources used in road vehicles counts 2,5 times towards the numerator and the denominator.

According to Article 3(4)(c) of Directive 2009/28/EC to calculate the contribution of electricity produced from renewable sources and consumed in electric vehicles, Member States may choose to use either the average share of electricity from renewable energy sources in the Community, or the share of electricity from renewable energy sources in their own country, as measured two years before the year in question. For the estimation of the average share of electricity from renewable energy sources in the Community, Member States may use the future scenarios prepared by/for the European Commission
   (8).

As well as setting sectoral targets for 2020, Member States must also describe the trajectory that they expect the growth of renewable energy use in each sector to follow between 2010 and 2020. The sectoral renewable targets in electricity and heating and cooling and the sectoral trajectories are estimations.

Table 3 requires Member States to furnish the information referred to above.

When filling in the table, Member States will wish to draw on the more detailed breakdown of expected renewable energy use required by Table 9. Calculation Tables 4a and 4b provide guidance in preparing Table 3.

The Directive requires Member States to publish and notify to the Commission their forecast for the use of the flexibility measures by 31 December 2009. Member States will wish to draw on this forecast in filling in the relevant parts of Table 4a. Member States are not, however, required to use the same figures in their Action Plans as they gave in their forecast documents. In particular, they may wish to adjust the figures in the light of the information contained in other Member States’ forecast documents.

| (j) | Please describe how the costs of connection and technical adaptation are attributed to producers and/or transmission and/or distribution system operators? How are transmission and distribution system operators able to recover these investment costs? Is any modification of these cost bearing rules planned in the future? What changes do you envisage and what results are expected? (There are several options for distributing grid connection costs. Member States are likely to choose one or a combination of these. According to the ‘deep’ connection cost charging the developer of the installation generating electricity from renewable energy sources bears several grid infrastructure related costs (grid connection, grid reinforcement, and extension). Another approach is the ‘shallow’ connection cost charging, meaning that the developer bears only the grid connection cost, but not the costs of reinforcement and extension (this is built into the grid tariffs and paid by the customers). A further variant is when all connection costs are socialised and covered by the grid tariffs.) |

4.6.   Specific measures for the promotion of the use of energy from biomass

Biomass has an important role as primary energy in all the three sectors: heating and cooling, electricity and transport. National biomass strategy is crucial to plan the role and the interaction of uses between the energy end uses and interaction with other non-energy sectors. Therefore Member States are required to assess their domestic potential and increased mobilisation of domestic and imported biomass resources. The impact on and the interaction with other non-energy sectors (as the food and feed industry, pulp and paper industry, construction industry, furniture industry etc.) should be analysed.

4.6.1.   
  Biomass supply: both domestic and trade

Under this point Member States should assess the supply of domestically available biomass and the need for imports.

There should be a distinction between biomass (A) from forestry — (1) direct and (2) indirect supply; (B) from agriculture and fisheries — (1) directly provided and (2) by-products/processed crops; and (C) from waste — (1) biodegradable fraction of municipal solid waste, (2) biodegradable fraction of industrial solid waste and (3) sewage sludge. Data is required for the above-mentioned first subcategories, while more detailed information is optional. However the aggregated figures shall reflect the following categorisation and give information in the units of Table 7. The role of imports (EU and non-EU) and exports (if possible, EU and non-EU) must be reflected.

Please note that wood chips, briquettes and pellets can be either from direct supply or from indirect supply from forestry. If information on pellets is included in the table, it should specify whether the raw material comes from direct or indirect supply.

In the case of biogas and biofuels the amount of raw feedstock should be detailed in Table 7, not the amount of processed feedstock. It is understood that for imports and exports the amount of biomass feedstocks for biofuels is more difficult to ascertain, and estimations may be necessary. Alternatively, if the information on imports is given on the basis of biofuel imports, it must be specified in the table.

5.   ASSESSMENTS

5.1.   Total contribution expected of each renewable energy technology to meet the binding 2020 targets and the indicative interim trajectory for the shares of energy from renewable resources in electricity, heating and cooling and transport

The contribution of each renewable energy technology to the trajectory and 2020 targets in the electricity, heating and cooling and transport sectors should be estimated giving a possible future scenario without necessarily establishing any technology target or obligation.

For the electricity sector, both the expected (accumulated) installed capacity (in MW) and yearly production (GWh) should be indicated by technology. For hydro, a distinction should be made between plants of less than 1 MW, between 1 and 10 MW, and over 10 MW installed capacity. For solar power, details should be given separately for contributions from photovoltaic solar and concentrated solar power. Wind energy data should be indicated for onshore and offshore separately. For biomass, a distinction should be made between solid, gaseous and liquid biomass for electricity.

When assessing the heating and cooling sector, estimates of both installed capacity and production should be given for geothermal, solar, heat pumps and biomass technologies, with a breakdown for the latter category for solid, gaseous and liquid biomass. The contribution from district heating plants using renewable energy sources should be estimated.

The contribution from different technologies to the renewable energy target in the transport sector should be indicated for ordinary biofuels (both bioethanol and biodiesel), biofuels from wastes and residues, biofuels from non-food cellulosic material or from ligno-cellulosic material, biogas, electricity from renewable energy sources and hydrogen from renewable energy origin.

In case you have estimations on developing the use of certain technologies by regions, could you please indicate that after the table?

  OJ L 304, 14.11.2008, p. 1.

(2)  These estimates on energy efficiency and energy savings shall be consistent with other such estimates that Member States notify to the Commission, notably in Action Plans under the Energy Services Directive and the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive. If different units are used in those Action Plans the conversion factors applied should be indicated.

(3)  It is the final energy consumption of all energy commodities except electricity for purposes other than transport, plus the consumption of heat for own use at electricity and heat plants and heat losses in networks (items ‘2. Own use by plant’ and ‘11. Transmission and distribution losses’ of Regulation (EC) No 1099/2008 (p. 23-24).

(4)  The gross electricity consumption is national gross electricity production, including autoproduction, plus imports, minus exports.

(5)  Transport consumption as defined in Article 3(4)(a) of Directive 2009/28/EC. Renewable electricity in road transport for this figure should be multiplied by a factor of 2,5, as indicated by Article 3(4)(c) of Directive 2009/28/EC.

(6)  As defined in Article (2)(f) of Directive 2009/28/EC. This comprises final energy consumption plus network losses and own use of heat and electricity at electricity and heating plants (NB: this does not include consumption of electricity for pumped hydro storage or for transformation in electrical boilers or heat pumps at district heating plants).

(7)  According to Article 5(6) consumption for aviation has to be considered only up to 6,18 % (Community average), for Cyprus and Malta up to 4,12 % of gross final energy consumption.

(8)  For example the scenario documented in Appendix 4, p. 287, in ‘
  Appendixes to Model-based Analysis of the 2008 EU Policy Package on Climate Change and Renewables
  ’: http://ec.europa.eu/environment/climat/pdf/climat_action/analysis_appendix.pdf In this scenario the EU-27 average share of gross electricity production from renewable energy forms is 19,4 %, 24,6 % and 32,4 % for the years 2010, 2015 and 2020, respectively.

(9)  Share of renewable energy in heating and cooling: gross final consumption of energy from renewable sources for heating and cooling (as defined in Articles 5(1)b) and 5(4) of Directive 2009/28/EC) divided by gross final consumption of energy for heating and cooling. Line (A) from Table 4a divided by line (1) of Table 1.

(10)  Share of renewable energy in electricity: gross final consumption of electricity from renewable sources for electricity (as defined in Articles 5(1)(a) and 5(3) of Directive 2009/28/EC) divided by total gross final consumption of electricity. Row (B) from Table 4a divided by row (2) of Table 1.

(11)  Share of renewable energy in transport: final energy from renewable sources consumed in transport (cf. Article 5(1)(c) and 5(5) of Directive 2009/28/EC) divided by the consumption in transport of 1) petrol; 2) diesel; 3) biofuels used in road and rail transport and 4) electricity in land transport (as reflected in row 3 of Table 1). Line (J) from Table 4b divided by row (3) of Table 1.

(12)  Share of renewable energy in gross final energy consumption. Row (G) from Table 4a divided by row (4) of Table 1.

(13)  In percentage point of overall RES share.

(14)  As defined in Annex I.B to the Directive 2009/28/EC.

(15)  According to Article 5(1) of Directive 2009/28/EC gas, electricity and hydrogen from renewable energy sources shall only be considered once. No double counting is allowed.

(16)  Containing all RES used in transport including electricity, hydrogen and gas from renewable energy sources, and excluding biofuels that do no comply with the sustainability criteria (cf. Article 5(1) last subparagraph). Specify here actual values without using the multiplication factors.

(17)  Specify here actual values without using the multiplication factors.

(*1)  Indicate if the measure is (predominantly) regulatory, financial or soft (i.e. information campaign).

(*2)  Is the expected result behavioural change, installed capacity (MW; t/year), energy generated (ktoe)?

(*3)  Who are the targeted persons: investors, end users, public administration, planners, architects, installers, etc.? or what is the targeted activity/sector: biofuel production, energetic use of animal manure, etc.)?

(18)  Amount of the resource in m3 (if possible, otherwise in appropriate alternative units) for category A and its subcategories and in tonnes for categories B and C and their subcategories.

(19)  Biomass from forestry should also include biomass from forest-based industries. Under the category of biomass from forestry processed solid fuels, such as chips, pellets and briquettes should be included in the corresponding subcategories of origin.

(20)  Recommendations can be found in the report issued by the Standing Forestry Committee ad hoc Working Group II in July 2008 on Mobilisation and efficient use of wood and wood residues for energy generation. The report can be downloaded at: http://ec.europa.eu/agriculture/fore/publi/sfc_wgii_final_report_072008_en.pdf

(21)  Take into account only those complying with the sustainability criteria (cf. Article 5(1) of Directive 2009/28/EC last subparagraph).

(22)  Take into account only those complying with the sustainability criteria (cf. Article 5(1) of Directive 2009/28/EC last subparagraph).
