Even if fuel suppliers have various ways of complying with reduction obligations, it is undeniable that this objective creates a strong incentive to use biofuels.

It goes without saying, in this connection, that blending fuels with biofuels which, on the basis of a well-to-wheel analysis, emit even more greenhouse gases or very little less will achieve little.

Inclusion of a criterion which explicitly lays down a minimum requirement regarding greenhouse gas performance is therefore not necessary: fuel suppliers have no reason to use biofuels for blending whose carbon dioxide efficiency is poor.

A key measure of the proposal is that, in order to encourage the development of lower-carbon fuels and biofuels, fuel suppliers will be obliged to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions that their fuels cause over their life-cycle (i.e. when they are refined, transported and used) by 1% per year from 2011.

Your draftsman equally applauds the proposed maximum sulphur content standards for diesel, which will enable fuel for higher vehicle efficiency, reduce particulate matter emissions and make the introduction of after-treatment systems possible in the future.

Your draftsman believes that lower emissions could only be achieved through a more coordinated and integrated approach, which requires not only the introduction of new products and technologies by the fuel and automotive industries and their suppliers, but also a firm commitment from policy makers, infrastructure providers and drivers (by inter alia the introduction of CO2-based taxation, improved driver skills and behaviour, and safer infrastructure).

In the view of your draftsman the Commission proposal is in this respect unbalanced since it promotes just one source of biofuel component to the detriment of others that could have less risk of non-compatibility with existing vehicles and the environment.

Изразявайки желанието за допълнително развитие на биогоривата и технологията за биогорива, съобщението сочи ясно, че това развитие на трябва да води до увеличаване на екологичните вреди, и подчертава необходимостта от ускоряване на намаляването на парникови газове.

(6) Directive 2003/30/EC of 8 May 2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the promotion of the use of biofuels or other renewable fuels for transportaims at promoting the use of biofuels within the Community.
Препоръчва се инвестирането в изследователски дейности, отнасящи се до второ поколение биогорива, тъй като следва да се избягва конкуренцията при използването на земя за отглеждане на култури, предназначени за изхранване на населението, от една страна, и култури, предназначени за производство на биогорива, от друга страна.
It would be appropriate to invest in research activities relating to second generation biofuels, since competition over the use of land for food crops on the one hand, and for biofuel crops on the other, should be avoided.

(13) The details concerning the blending of ethanol into petrol, in particular the limits on vapour pressure and possible alternatives for ensuring that ethanol blends do not exceed acceptable vapour pressure limits, should be reviewed on the basis of experience on the application of Directive 98/70/EC.
По тази причина е целесъобразно да се приеме балансиран подход относно пределните стойности, определени в директивата, с цел да се увеличи употребата на различни биогорива, ако това е целесъобразно.
It is therefore appropriate that a balanced approach should be taken to the limits set in the Directive with a view to increase, if appropriate, the use of different biofuels.
