3 A brief history Presentation content What did the EC put foward in its proposal on 17th October? What does Copa-Cogeca think about it? What is Copa-Cogeca asking for?

4 A brief history EU mandatory set-aside ( ) Directive 2003/30/EC on the promotion of the use of biofuel for transport: 5.75% by 2010 Directive 2003/96/EC on the taxation of energy product: article16 EU Leaders decision 20/20/20 targets (2007) Directive 2008/28/EC: RED: 10% by 2020 Directive 2008/30/EC: FQD: 6% by 2020

5 The benefits of the EU biofuel production 48,000 jobs Annual turnover: 12.2billion Increased crop diversification and rotation (rapeseed, sugar beet) Reduction of the EU vegetable proteins deficit Innovation and development of the biobased economy (glycerine, CO2)

6 MnT soybean meal equivalent Meals : an opportunity for feed improved protein meals self-sufficiency % Self-sufficiency ratio % 18% 25% Other meals uses Rapeseed meal uses Production

7 What did the EC put foward in its proposal (COM(2012)595 final? iluc factors A 5% Cap on G1 biofuel Elimination of G1biofuel after 2020 Quadruple counting for advanced biofuel 60% GHG savings for new plants Review clause in 2017

8 What does Copa-Cogeca think about it? The EU shall not achieve its RED/FQD targets Increase in the GHG emissions from fossil fuels as a result of multiple counting and lack of sustainability criteria on industrial wastes/residues feedstocks Lack of friendly investment climate to invest from G1 to G2

9 Biofuel imports by 2020 (IFPRI)

10 iluc emissions by 2020 (IFPRI)

11 What does C-C think about it? IFPRI 54-56g CO2 eq/mj/year indirect emissions for biodiesel g CO2eq/MJ/Year indirect emissions for bioethanol Solely the model used by IFPRI leads to major differentiation between biodiesel and bioethanol

12 Canola Biodiesel and Midwest Corn ethanol similar for CARB G CO2/MJ Soybean Biodiesel Canola biodiesel Midwest corn ethanol Direct GHG ,40 emissions ILUC Total emissions ,40

13 What does C-C think about It? iluc factors are not in conformity with the polluter pays principle A 5% cap will have major impacts on European agriculture Cut of rapeseed area by 1/3 Disturbance of cereals and sugar markets Reduction in crop diversification and rotation Increase EU deficit in protein-rich feedstocks for animals

14 What does C-C think about it? Underutilisation of EU production capacity The EU 12 has not yet realised its full production potentiel 1.5 to 2.0 million ha unfarmed in the EU27

15 What is Copa-Cogeca asking for? Continuing support to conventional biofuels after 2020 Remove multiple counting Sustainability criteria for all biofuels and bioliquids from wastes and residues Remove the cap Protecting existing facilities through an unlimited grandfather clause on direct and indirect emissions

16 What is Copa-Cogeca aking for? Remove iluc factors Review the fossil fuel comparator Take a more global approach through bilateral agreements as requested by the EP in the Resolution on the Road Map for a low carbon economy in 2050 Not include biofuel from regions where peatland and forests are converted in the mandatory biofuel target resolves 70 % of the iluc emissions

17 Thank you for your attention
