European Countryside Movement Seminar
Brussels, European Parliament, 7 November 2007
New Energy Plan for Europe
• On 10th January the Commission set out a “Renewable Energy Roadmap”
– Binding 20% target for overall share of Renewable Energy in 2020 to be shared amongst MS.
– Binding 10% target for the share of biofuels in petrol and diesel in each MS in 2020.
• Package endorsed by Heads of State and European Parliament• Commission now drafting the legislative proposals to turn the
roadmap into a new “Renewables Directive”
Can the EU meet its targets?
Yes
- Agriculture and forest potential
- Bioethanol
- Biodiesel
Production potential of EU 27 agriculture
• The EU might have to reduce its production by 7,5 million tonnes by 2010/2011, i.e. 900 000 ha of sugarbeet out of the total area of some 2,2 million ha in EU 25 (source: CIBE).
• 4 million ha set-aside land available in EU 15.• Increase of agricultural productivity in NMS.• Agricultural land in Romania and Bulgaria.• Market trends for export and animal feedstuffs.• Broad range of raw materials to supply biofuels
production.
Production potential of EU 27forest
• Sustainable Forest Management• Total annual increment of 600 million m3
• 60-65 % of the annual increment harvested• At this moment it is possible to increase sustainable annual
felling considerably, and there is additional potential, especially if combined with management operations to raise productivity
MOBILISATION efforts are identified as the keys to meet the increased demand
And so are IMPROVED SILVICULTURAL measures

There has been 0 price impact on cereal prices from EU biofuel production so far. Biofuel use only accounts for 1.5% of EU cereals’ tonnage

DG AGRI Prospects for agricultural markets and income in the EU 2007-2014 (July 2007)
– We would need the equivalent of 59mt of cereals to meet the 10% target.
– Assuming a productivity increase of 1% per year between now and 2020 – that would give an additional 38mt.
– On top of that there would be between 14 and 17mt from the use of set-aside land.
– Not to mention a possible shift of some exports to biofuel production

There will be a statutory system for Biofuel sustainability in the legislative proposals with minimum standards:
– GHG savings from biofuels
– avoidance of major carbon stock loss
– avoidance of major biodiversity loss.
COPA-COGECA’s views
• Equivalent requirements for biofuels imported from Third Countries
• Equivalent requirements in Third Countries must be approved by community authorities like in other sectors (organic farming)
R&D
• Optimise production system and broaden the used feedstocks types (second generation)
• Improve the conversion process of biodiesel and the bioethanol fermentation
• Implementation of the biorefinery process in order to obtain value-added from co-products.
COPA-COGECA work goes on
Fuel quality Directive:– Derogation for the direct incorporation of bioethanol of 8 kPa– The total oxygen compound content of 3.7% m/m must be
increased to 4% m/m – The target imposed on fuel suppliers to reduce greenhouse gas
emissions from fuel by 1% annually from 2011 must be replaced with a mandatory annual biofuel incorporation target.
– The reports on greenhouse gas emission monitoring required of fuel suppliers from 2009 must be replaced with reports on biofuels.
– A specification applicable to E 85 in compliance with already existing national standards must be added.
COPA-COGECA work goes on
Standards– Maintain EN 14214 Standard– Incorporation of 10 % EN14214 biodiesel in
diesel EN 590– Incorporation of 10 % bioethanol in gasoline
=> revision of EN228
COPA-COGECA work goes on
Trade– Maintain EU import duties– Multilateral import quota– Stop to the double subsidy on B99
COPA-COGECA work goes on
Wood mobilisation
– Strengthen co-operation and capacity-building (forest co-operatives and forest owner associations)
– Support of infrastructure and technical development
– Support of management operations
– Build-up of functioning markets for bioenergy
– Bring bioenergy production closer to local energy consumption
– Research and development (harvesting technology e.g.)
– Safeguard ownership rights
