From · resolution motion· 1 Jul 2026
on Commission delegated regulation of 10 April 2026 amending Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/807 to introduce a trajectory to gradually decrease the contribution of high indirect land-use change-risk biofuels, bioliquids and biomass fuels to renewable energy targets

Objection to a delegated act: Trajectory to decrease the contribution of high indirect land-use change-risk biofuels, bioliquids and biomass fuels to renewable energy targets
AI:What changed, in short
The main substantive change is that the Parliament now calls for recognizing low ILUC-risk soybean instead of reviewing Cerrado carbon stock classification.5 A recital raising concerns about Cerrado classification is removed.2 The other changes are formal or wording: recital A is reworded and recitals are renumbered.134

Change 2 Substance
AI summary:Drops recital H, which raised concerns about the classification of Brazil's Cerrado savanna as high-carbon stock land.
Show the text change (1 line)
Removed:H. whereas the updated scientific data also raises concerns regarding the classification of Brazil’s Cerrado savanna as high-carbon stock land; whereas the Cerrado presents highly heterogeneous carbon stock characteristics; whereas an inaccurate classification of Cerrado land as high-carbon stock land would further inflate the measured ILUC risk attributed to soybean production;
Change 5 Substance
AI summary:Replaces paragraph (c) on reviewing Cerrado classification with a new (c) on recognizing low ILUC-risk soybean, and drops the old paragraph (d).
Show the text change (3 lines)
Removed:(c) the carbon stock classification of Brazil’s Cerrado savanna should be reviewed and revised where appropriate, in order to ensure that the ILUC-risk threshold calculation for soybean is not distorted by the misclassification of heterogeneous savanna land as high-carbon stock land;
Added:(c) for soybean produced within the Union, or in third countries with equivalent and verified standards regarding land-use and deforestation monitoring, provision should be made for its recognition as low ILUC-risk, with the consequent exclusion from the phase-down trajectory, on the basis that such production does not drive the land-use change that the ILUC framework is intended to address;

AI summary:Renumbers recital M to L, with no change in content.

Changed:Μ.L. whereas the Clean Industrial Deal calls for a competitive, decarbonised industrial economy supported by a broad and diversified range of clean fuels and feedstocks; whereas reducing the available biofuel feedstock basket by removing soybean narrows the Union’s supply base for the decarbonisation of the transport sector, increases price volatility and supply vulnerability, and is inconsistent with the technology-neutral and supply-secure approach that Union’s competitiveness objectives require;
Change 4 Formal
AI summary:Renumbers recital N to M, with no change in content.
Show the text change (1 line)
Changed:Ν.M. whereas the Competitiveness Compass identifies the reduction of strategic dependencies and the reinforcement of Union’s industrial and processing capacity as core Union priorities; whereas the classification of soybean as high ILUC-risk increases, rather than reduces, the Union’s strategic dependencies in both the protein and the biofuel sectors;

Change 1 Wording
AI summary:Rewords recital A to remove the reference to a binding Union-wide renewable energy target and shortens the description of the ILUC framework.
Show the text change (2 lines)
Removed:A. whereas Directive (EU) 2018/2001 establishes a binding Union-wide renewable energy target and, in order to ensure that biofuels counting towards that target deliver genuine climate benefits, introduces a framework to address the risk of indirect land-use change (ILUC), under which feedstocks may be classified as high ILUC-risk and subject to a cap on their contribution to renewable energy targets;
