lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, this was an important vote that we had in the European Parliament and there is much to be welcomed, although we did not make as much progress as we would have liked to. But I want to welcome MEPs’ decisions to introduce indirect land use change as a mandatory factor to distinguish between good and bad biofuels when calculating greenhouse gas emission savings attributable to biofuels. I also welcome that MEPs voted to no longer incentivise first-generation biofuels but to encourage producers to shift to second-generation biofuels, using materials such as algae, straw and waste that do not create additional demands for land. I was disappointed that centre-right MEPs did not support the S&D proposal, as agreed by the EP’s Committee on the Environment, and limit to 5.5% the amount of food- and energy-based biofuels that can be counted towards achieving the 10% share, but instead voted for a 6% cap. I think it is time that the EU moved away from a policy that leads to famine, poverty, land grabs and climate change and towards one that promotes sustainable production of good biofuels, climate action, jobs and prosperity."@en1
