    COUNTRY BRIEFING 
     
  /LP,TX  As part of its drive to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and EU dependency 
    on imported oil and gas, the European Commission has unveiled an ambitious 
    strategy for boosting the production and use of biofuels. "There has never 
    been a better moment to push the case for biofuels," said Mariann Fischer 
    Boel, the commissioner for agriculture and rural development. "Crude oil 
    prices remain high. We face stringent targets under the Kyoto protocol [for 
    cutting greenhouse gas emissions, of which nearly one quarter come from 
    transport]. And the recent controversy over imports of Russian gas has 
    underlined the importance of increasing Europe's energy self- sufficiency. 
    Raw materials for biofuel production also provide a potential new outlet 
    for Europe's farmers, who have been freed by CAP reform to become true 
    entrepreneurs." 
     
  /TX  An EU directive enacted in 2003 set non-binding "reference values" of a 2% 
    market share for biofuels in 2005 and 5.75% in 2010. To help achieve these 
    goals, a separate directive on energy taxation allows national governments 
    to grant tax reductions or exemptions for biofuels, with prior approval 
    from Brussels. But with the objectives set by member states, the share of 
    biofuels would have attained at most 1.4% last year, and the Commission has 
    launched infringement proceedings against seven countries for adopting low 
    targets without due justification. 
     _The new strategy for biofuels-which also includes a range of non- 
    legislative initiatives, such as EU-funded research to reduce future 
    production costs-is part of a broader biomass action plan presented by the 
    Commission in December, aimed at increasing the use of energy from 
    agriculture, forestry and waste for transport, electricity production and 
    domestic heating.
