Council position on ILUC finally adopted by EU Energy Ministers
Today, European Energy Ministers finally adopted the Council’s position on ILUC. I have expressed already my disappointment for the lack of ambition showed by Member States. This deal doesn’t lead to a better framework for investments in the biofuels sector, especially in advanced biofuels, and the future discussions with the European Parliament do not let envisage any positive developments.

A Technical Detail with Big Implications
“The debate over American biofuels policy has centered on the Renewable Fuels Standard (RFS), but there’s another issue unfolding under the radar with significant implications for renewable fuels – the Reid vapor pressure (RVP) volatility waiver.
RVP may be a technical issue, but inconsistent application of the volatility waiver by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is limiting widespread introduction of E15 ethanol-blended gasoline, threatening compliance with the RFS, and creating an arbitrary barrier to ethanol use in America.

EU Member States miss another opportunity to lead on advanced biofuels
After the stalemate at the December Council where a blocking minority of Member States prevented the adoption of a Council common position on ILUC, Member States’ Permanent Representatives finally agreed today on a compromise text proposed by the Greek Presidency after two Ad Hoc Working Party meetings took place in April and May. The Council position will still need to be officially endorsed by EU Energy Ministers on 13 June.

Letter to EPA Addressing the Inconsistent Application of the RVP Volatility Waiver
As the leading international supplier of ethanol to the United States, we are writing to express our concern that widespread introduction of E15 is being impeded by Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) inconsistent application of the Reid vapor pressure (RVP) volatility waiver to ethanol-blended gasoline.
EU political groups are apathetic on transport issues
Having looked at the recently published manifestos of the European political groups, I realized surprisingly that the main groups, EPP and PES, do not even mention transport issues in their priorities for the next five years.
Isn’t it odd?
