The Industry Committee of the European Parliament has voted in favor of a review of the Community targets for the use of biofuels.
The proposal adopted by this committee, which was supported by the three main political groups, provides for greater use of second generation renewable energy sources at the expense of first generation sources, whose ecological balance is disputed.
It specifies that the objective of using 10% of fuels from renewable energy in road transport by 2020 must be achieved at 40% thanks to such second generation sources..
