摘要

Seven EU biofuels groups penned a letter to the vice president for the European Green Deal,Frans Timmermans,urging the European Commission(EC)to exercise caution in issuing waivers to biofuels blending mandates due to COVID-19.The letter warned that certain EU states were”considering implementing derogations to their blending obligations”although the letter did not identify which states were considering this or what their plans were.The letter also warned any waivers issued in regards to biofuels blending mandates could lead to”further strain on the availability of EU-produced protein supplies for livestock and hence impact animal production chains.”
