COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION (EU) 2025/387

of 27 February 2025

recognising under Article 31(2) and (4) of Directive (EU) 2018/2001 that the report contains accurate data for the purposes of measuring the greenhouse gas emissions associated with the cultivation of wheat, rye, winter barley, spring barley, triticale, rapeseed, grain maize, sunflower, soybean, sugar beet, potato and silage maize in Austria

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Directive (EU) 2018/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 December 2018 on the promotion of the use of energy from renewable sources (1), and in particular Article 31(4) thereof,

Whereas:

(1) Directive (EU) 2018/2001 requires biofuels, bioliquids, and biomass fuels to save significant greenhouse gas emissions compared to fossil fuels so that they can be counted towards the targets that it sets out. For this purpose, Article 29(10) sets specific emission savings thresholds for those fuels, and Article 31 governs how to calculate the greenhouse gas emission savings from their use. When making those calculations, it is possible to use the default values set out in Annexes V and VI to Directive (EU) 2018/2001. Instead of the default values of greenhouse gas emissions from the cultivation of agricultural raw materials, it is possible to use typical values under some conditions. These typical values, representing the average value in a specific area, may be reported to the Commission by Member States or third countries. The typical values may only be used if the Commission recognises them to be accurate.

(2) On 16 October 2024, Austria submitted to the Commission the final report with data for the purposes of measuring the greenhouse gas emissions associated with the cultivation of wheat, rye, winter barley, spring barley, triticale, rapeseed, grain maize, sunflower, soybean, sugar beet, potato and silage maize typically produced in areas on its territory classified as level 2 in the nomenclature of territorial units for statistics (NUTS), in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1059/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2). Austria asked for the data to be recognised as accurate in line with Article 31(4) of Directive (EU) 2018/2001.

(3) The Commission assessed the report and found that it contains accurate data for the purposes of measuring the greenhouse gas emissions associated with cultivating wheat, rye, winter barley, spring barley, triticale, rapeseed, grain maize, sunflower, soybean, sugar beet, potato and silage maize typically produced in NUTS 2 regions in Austria.

(4) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on the Sustainability of Biofuels, Bioliquids and Biomass Fuels,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

The report submitted by Austria to the Commission on 16 October 2024 is recognised to contain accurate data for the purposes of measuring the greenhouse gas emissions associated with the cultivation of wheat, rye, winter barley, spring barley, triticale, rapeseed, grain maize, sunflower, soybean, sugar beet, potato and silage maize typically produced in NUTS 2 regions in Austria, pursuant to Article 31(4) of Directive (EU) 2018/2001. The summary of the report’s data is included in the Annex.

Article 2

If the data contained in the report as submitted for recognition to the Commission on 16 October 2024, changes in a way that might affect the accuracy of the data and consequently the basis for this Decision, Austria shall notify the Commission of such changes immediately. The Commission services shall assess the notified changes to determine whether the report still provides the accurate data for which it is recognised.

Article 3

This Decision shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the

Official Journal of the European Union

It shall cease to apply on 24 March 2030.

Done at Brussels, 27 February 2025.
