Climate: Focus on documentation and positive incentives
The Danish Agriculture & Food Council calls for setting ambitious European climate targets to strengthen competitiveness and create a level playing field.
The Danish Agriculture & Food Council calls for setting ambitious European climate targets to strengthen competitiveness and create a level playing field. Denmark should focus on a possible inclusion of LULUCF (Land Use, Land Use Change and Forestry) into the EU climate targets and a revision of the EU Renewable Energy Directive as both will ensure the sustainability of biofuels still further. Against this backdrop, the Danish Agriculture & Food Council aims:
- at including LULUCF in the EU reduction obligations on a well documented basis and at considering initiatives already implemented in the area; for a possible revision of the Renewable Energy Directive to pave the way for an improved framework for second-generation biofuels and for the sustainable production of first-generation biofuels not to be put in an inferior position; and
- for such revision to focus on the administrative burdens related to certification of sustainability, including the advantage offered manufacturers in third-world countries under the current regime.
