Since the release of a draft delegated regulation extending the scope of the Union Database for biofuels (UDB) during the public consultation opened by the European Commission at the end of last year, many stakeholders, including Member States and bioenergy industry, have expressed their concerns over the requirements set out in the text and are urging the Commission to postpone the use of the UDB or to introduce a transitional period.
Together with FEAD, ECN published a letter to express their concerns. ECN also met with the European Commission to discuss and address the issues, together with FEAD and EBA. We expect the revised draft to be published shortly.
