COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION (EU) 2016/1433

of 26 August 2016

on recognition of the ‘Biomass Biofuels Sustainability voluntary scheme’ for demonstrating compliance with the sustainability criteria under Directives 98/70/EC and 2009/28/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Directive 98/70/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 October 1998 relating to the quality of petrol and diesel fuels and amending Council Directive 93/12/EEC (1), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 7c(4) thereof,

Having regard to Directive 2009/28/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 April 2009 on the promotion of the use of energy from renewable sources and amending and subsequently repealing Directives 2001/77/EC and 2003/30/EC (2), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 18(4) thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | Articles 7b and 7c of and Annex IV to Directive 98/70/EC and Articles 17 and 18 of and Annex V to Directive 2009/28/EC lay down similar sustainability criteria for biofuels and bioliquids, and similar procedures of the verification of compliance with those criteria. |
| --- | --- |

(1)

Articles 7b and 7c of and Annex IV to Directive 98/70/EC and Articles 17 and 18 of and Annex V to Directive 2009/28/EC lay down similar sustainability criteria for biofuels and bioliquids, and similar procedures of the verification of compliance with those criteria.

| (2) | Where biofuels and bioliquids are to be taken into account for the purposes referred to in Article 17(1)(a), (b) and (c) of Directive 2009/28/EC, Member States must require economic operators to show the compliance of biofuels and bioliquids with the sustainability criteria set out in Article 17(2) to (5) of Directive 2009/28/EC. |
| --- | --- |

(2)

Where biofuels and bioliquids are to be taken into account for the purposes referred to in Article 17(1)(a), (b) and (c) of Directive 2009/28/EC, Member States must require economic operators to show the compliance of biofuels and bioliquids with the sustainability criteria set out in Article 17(2) to (5) of Directive 2009/28/EC.

| (3) | The Commission may decide that voluntary national or international schemes setting standards for the production of biomass products contain accurate data for the purposes of Article 17(2) of Directive 2009/28/EC, and/or demonstrate that consignments of biofuel or bioliquid comply with the sustainability criteria set out in Article 17(3), (4) and (5), and/or that no materials have been intentionally modified or discarded so that the consignment or part thereof would fall under Annex IX. When an economic operator provides proof or data obtained in accordance with a voluntary scheme that has been recognised by the Commission, to the extent covered by the recognition decision, a Member State is barred from requiring the supplier to provide further evidence of compliance with the sustainability criteria. |

When an economic operator provides proof or data obtained in accordance with a voluntary scheme that has been recognised by the Commission, to the extent covered by the recognition decision, a Member State is barred from requiring the supplier to provide further evidence of compliance with the sustainability criteria.
