EU affirms 10 per cent biofuels target with 'strict criteria'

摘要

The European Union's target to achieve a 10 per cent share of biofuel in all transport fuel by 2020 will remain in place, EU Energy spokesperson Ferran Tarradellas Espuny told journalists in Brussels this week. But the target will include "very strict environmental criteria," Mr Tarradellas stated. The statement follows a report by the BBC today in which EU Environment Commissioner, Stavros Dimas, suggested that it would be better to miss the target than risk damaging the environment.
