lpv:spoken text	"This amending directive applies to indirect land-use change (ILUC) and amends the Fuel Quality Directive and Renewable Energy Directive. The original Directives aimed to enable a transition from fossil fuels to biofuels to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. However, these ʽfirst generationʼ biofuels use crops that would otherwise have been used for food or animal feed, and the indirect land-use change can produce enough emissions to negate the benefits of biofuels over fossil fuels. This proposal caps the contribution of first generation biofuels to greenhouse emissions targets and encourages the use of advanced biofuels that will be more beneficial to our environment. Labour MEPs wanted a stronger cap, but we voted for this report as it is a step in the right direction and the door is open for further legislation in the future."@en1
