Green MEP calls to cut 10 per cent biofuel target

摘要

The Commission's 10 per cent target for biofuels should be scrapped. That is the message of Luxembourg Green MEP and European Parliament rapporteur Claude Turmes, whose report on the renewables directive will be discussed next week.Mr Turmes's priority is to make clear that the EU's target for a 10 per cent inclusion rate for biofuel in road transport fuels by 2020 will be scrapped. The report represents a pivotal step in progression for the Commission's climate and energy package adopted in January, and will no doubt prove to be a serious point of controversy over the coming weeks.
