50. vyzývá Komisi, aby obecně nepodporovala rozvoj intenzivního pěstování energetických plodin, které je jednostranně orientované na vysoké výnosy, neboť by to mělo katastrofální enviromentální, hospodářské a sociální důsledky, což by bylo v rozporu s evropskou strategií udržitelného rozvoje;
50. calls on the Commission, in general, not to encourage the development of intensive cultivation of renewable energy resources with a one-sided emphasis on production, which would have a disastrous environmental, economic and social impact and would not, therefore, contribute to the European sustainable development strategy;
51. zdůrazňuje, že v celé EU je zapotřebí rozsáhlé informační politiky o biomase a biopalivech;
51. stresses the need for an EU-wide information policy on biomass and biofuels;
53. je toho názoru, že vzhledem k reformě v odvětví cukru a ukončení pěstování cukrové řepy v EU je nutno vypracovat analýzu, jakým způsobem lze zvýšit stávající možnosti pro výrobu biopaliv z cukrové řepy a jiných alternativních kultur;
53. considers that, with a view to the implementation of the sugar reform and the discontinuation of sugar beet cultivation in the EU, an analysis needs to be made of exactly how existing potential for producing biofuels from sugar beet and other alternative crops might be enhanced;
54. vyzývá Komisi, aby přijala opatření, která při nejbližší příležitosti umožní dosáhnout kompromisu o biopalivech mezi automobilovým a petrochemickým průmyslem v souladu se zásadou „biopaliva pro automobily a nikoli automobily pro biopaliva“.
54. calls on the Commission to take action with a view to reaching a compromise on biofuels between the motor vehicle and petroleum industries at the earliest opportunity, in line with the principle 'biofuels for cars, not cars for biofuels'.

STRUČNÉ ODŮVODNĚNÍ
Short justification
In order to increase the share of renewable energy in Europe and to reduce the oil-dependency the European Commission urges through the EU Biomass action plan (COM(2005)628) and the Communication on the EU Strategy for bio fuels (COM(2006)34), to improve the production and use of bio-energy in Europe and in third countries.

This strategy and the derived increase of demand of bio-energy may entail some risks like overexploitation of grounds, e.g. by setting-aside good practices like rotation of crops; as well as the destruction of forest and ecosystem especially in third countries, mainly in tropical areas.

Thirdly, as far as the impact of this strategy on agriculture and CAP reform is concerned, it should be stressed that some measures are taken in order to support crops destined to biodiesel feedstock: in particular by allowing them to be cultivated in non set-aside land as well as by providing energy crop payments as a special investment for energy crops grown on non set-aside land.

Calls on the Commission to reject very firmly any proposal, in the context of WTO negotiations on trade and the environment, to include bioethanol on a list of ‘environmental products’ which may be subject to removal or reduction of customs duties;
14. domnívá se, že uplatňování systému všeobecných celních preferencí („GSP“) a „GSP +“ by mělo podpořit cíl ekonomického rozvoje nejzranitelnějších zemí a mělo by být v oblasti výroby bioetanolu v souladu s cíli budoucí společné energetické politiky; vyzývá Komisi, aby uplatňovala ve všech nezbytných případech vhodné způsoby odstupňování, zakládající se na kritériích uvedených v nařízení Rady (ES) č. 980/2005 ze dne 27. června 2005 o uplatňování systému všeobecných celních preferencí
Considers that the application of the Generalised System of Preferences (GSP) and GSP+ should further the objective of economic development of the more vulnerable countries and, as far as bioethanol production is concerned, be consistent with the goals of a future common energy policy, and calls on the Commission to implement the appropriate graduation mechanisms whenever necessary, observing the criteria set out in Council Regulation (EC) No 980/2005 of 27 June 2005 applying a scheme of generalised tariff preferences
17. důrazně žádá, aby bylo věnováno více politické a hospodářské pozornosti spolupráci na trzích s biopalivy v EU a s ní sousedících evropských zemích a integraci těchto trhů, zejména v rámci konkrétních partnerských dohod;
Calls for greater political and economic attention to be paid to cooperation and integration among the biofuels markets in the EU and its neighbouring European states, particularly in the framework of the specific partnership agreements;
19. vybízí Komisi a členské státy, aby prokázaly zvláštní bdělost v otázce pokusů o podvody a obcházení cel pro bioetanol a aby zejména dohlížely na dodržování pravidel původu a pravidel pro sazební zařazení a předcházely zneužívání určitých režimů s podmíněným osvobozením od cla;
Encourages the Commission and the Member States to exercise particular vigilance concerning attempted fraud or avoidance of customs duty on bioethanol, ensuring in particular compliance with the rules of origin and tariff classification and preventing abuses of some suspensive customs procedures;
22. žádá Komisi o vytvoření systému certifikace biopaliv používaných v EU, aby se zajistilo, zejména prostřednictvím programu EU „globální sledování životního prostředí a bezpečnosti“ (GMES), že jejich výroba probíhá v souladu s platnými normami na ochranu životního prostředí a že tato výroba nemá žádný negativní dopad na životní prostředí;
Invites the Commission to set up a certification system for biofuels used in the EU, with the aim of ensuring that their production is in conformity with the environmental standards in force, and to ensure that this production does not have any negative impact on the environment, in particular through the European programme Global Monitoring for Environment and Security system (GMES);
25. domnívá se, že by Komise měla věnovat zvláštní pozornost problematice logistiky, zejména světové logistice a bezpečnosti; je toho názoru, že je žádoucí mít tyto otázky na zřeteli v rámci hodnocení EU týkajících se dopadů na udržitelný rozvoj; vyzývá Komisi, aby hodnocení provedla včas;
Considers that the Commission should pay particular attention to the logistical dimension, including worldwide logistics and security; considers that this should be taken into account in EU sustainability impact assessments; calls on the Commission to produce an evaluation in good time;
