(3) However, there is a wide range of biomass that (3) Cu toate acestea, exist o gam larg de biomas could be used to produce biofuels, deriving from care ar putea fi utilizat pentru producerea agricultural and forestry products, as well as from biocombustibililor, derivnd din produse agricole i residues and waste from forestry and the forestry silvice, precum i din reziduuri i deeuri forestiere i and agrifoodstuffs industry. din industria forestier i agroalimentar.

(5) The Commission White Paper "European transport (5) Cartea Alb a Comisiei privind "Politica european policy for 2010: time to decide" expects CO2 de transport pentru 2010: momentul de a decide" emissions from transport to rise by 50 % between prevede o cretere de 50 % a emisiilor de bioxid de 1990 and 2010, to around 1113 million tonnes, the carbon rezultate din transporturi ntre 1990 i 2010, main responsibility resting with road transport, which acestea ajungnd la un nivel de aproximativ 1113 accounts for 84 % of transport-related CO2 milioane tone, principala responsabilitate revenind emissions. From an ecological point of view, the transportului rutier, care reprezint 84 % din emisiile White Paper therefore calls for dependence on oil de CO2 provenite din transporturi. Din punct de (currently 98 %) in the transport sector to be vedere ecologic, Cartea Alb cere o reducere a reduced by using alternative fuels such as biofuels. dependenei de petrol (care n prezent este de 98 %) din sectorul de transporturi, prin utilizarea unor combustibili alternativi cum sunt biocombustibilii.

Protocolului de la Kyoto i din orice pachet de politici destinate respectrii unor noi angajamente n acest sens. (7) Increased use of biofuels for transport, without (7) Utilizarea pe scar din ce n ce mai larg a ruling out other possible alternative fuels, including biocombustibililor pentru transporturi, fr eliminarea automotive LPG and CNG, is one of the tools by altor posibili combustibili alternativi, inclusiv gazele which the Community can reduce its dependence on petroliere lichefiate (GPL) i gazele naturale imported energy and influence the fuel market for comprimate (GNC), este unul dintre instrumentele transport and hence the security of energy supply in prin care Comunitatea i poate reduce dependena the medium and long term.

Totui, aceast consideraie nu trebuie s distrag n nici un fel atenia de la importana respectrii legislaiei comunitare referitoare la calitatea combustibililor, emisiile vehiculelor i calitatea aerului. (8) As a result of technological advances, most (8) Ca rezultat al progresului tehnologic, majoritatea vehicles currently in circulation in the European Union vehiculelor aflate n prezent n circulaie n Uniunea are capable of using a low biofuel blend without any European pot utiliza fr nici o problem un problem.

hydrogen option. (11) The research policy pursued by the Member States relating to increased use of biofuels should incorporate the hydrogen sector to a significant degree and promote this option, taking into account the relevant Community framework programmes. (12) Pure vegetable oil from oil plants produced through pressing, extraction or comparable procedures, crude or refined but chemically unmodified, can also be used as biofuel in specific cases where its use is compatible with the type of engines involved and the corresponding emission requirements. (13) New types of fuel should conform to recognised technical standards if they are to be accepted to a greater extent by customers and vehicle manufacturers and hence penetrate the market. Technical standards also form the basis for requirements concerning emissions and the monitoring of emissions. Difficulties may be encountered in ensuring that new types of fuel meet current technical standards, which, to a large extent, have been developed for conventional fossil fuels. The Commission and standardisation bodies should monitor developments and adapt and develop actively standards, particularly volatility aspects, so that new types of fuel can be introduced, whilst maintaining environmental performance requirements.

(14) Bioethanol and biodiesel, when used for vehicles in pure form or as a blend, should comply with the quality standards laid down to ensure optimum engine performance. It is noted that in the case of biodiesel for diesel engines, where the processing option is esterification, the standard prEN 14214 of the European Committee for Standardisation (CEN) on fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) could be applied. Accordingly, the CEN should establish appropriate standards for other transport biofuel products in the European Union. (15) Promoting the use of biofuels in keeping with sustainable farming and forestry practices laid down in the rules governing the common agricultural policy could create new opportunities for sustainable rural development in a more market-orientated common agriculture policy geared more to the European market and to respect for flourishing country life and multifunctional agriculture, and could open a new market for innovative agricultural products with regard to present and future Member States.

special, opiunea de utilizare a hidrogenului. (11) Politica de cercetare adoptat de statele membre referitor la dezvoltarea utilizrii biocombustibililor trebuie s ncorporeze ntr-o msur semnificativ sectorul hidrogenului i s promoveze aceast opiune, lund n consideraie programele cadru comunitare relevante. (12) Uleiul vegetal pur, produs din plante oleaginoase, prin presare, extracie sau alte proceduri comparabile, brut sau rafinat dar nemodificat din punct de vedere chimic, poate fi folosit, de asemenea, ca biocombustibil n cazurile specifice n care utilizarea sa este compatibil cu tipul de motor implicat i cu cerinele corespunztoare n privina emisiilor. (13) Noile tipuri de combustibili trebuie s fie conforme cu standardele tehnice recunoscute dac se dorete ca acestea s fie acceptate ntr-o msur mai mare de ctre clieni i de ctre productorii de vehicule, impunndu-se astfel pe pia. De asemenea, standardele tehnice reprezint baza cerinelor privind emisiile i monitorizarea emisiilor. Ar putea aprea dificulti atunci cnd se ncearc s se dea asigurri c noile tipuri de combustibili satisfac standardele tehnice actuale, care, n mare msur, au fost elaborate pentru combustibilii fosili convenionali. Comisia i organele care se ocup de standardizare trebuie s monitorizeze dezvoltrile i s adapteze i s dezvolte n mod activ standardele, n special aspectele care se refer la volatilitate, astfel nct s poat fi introduse noi tipuri de combustibili, meninndu-se n acelai timp performanele n domeniul proteciei mediului. (14) Bioetanolul i biodiesel-ul, cnd sunt utilizate pentru vehicule, n form pur sau n amestec, trebuie s satisfac standardele de calitate stabilite pentru a asigura performane optime ale motoarelor. Trebuie menionat c n cazul biodiesel-ului pentru motoarele diesel, n care opiunea de procesare este esterificarea, ar putea fi aplicat standardul prEN 14214 al Comitetului European pentru Standardizare (CEN) privind esterii metilici ai acizilor grai (FAME). n consecin, CEN trebuie s stabileasc standarde adecvate pentru alte produse tip biodiesel utilizate pentru transport n Uniunea European. (15) Promovarea utilizrii biocombustibililor n conformitate cu practicile agricole i forestiere durabile stabilite n normele care reglementeaz politica agricol comun ar putea crea noi oportuniti pentru o dezvoltare rural durabil n cadrul unei politici agricole comune orientate ntr-o mai mare msur spre pia, legat mai mult de piaa european i de respectul fa de nflorirea vieii la ar i de agricultura multifuncional, putndu-se deschide o nou pia pentru produsele
