of 18 May 2018
on recognition of the report of Croatia including typical greenhouse gas emissions from cultivation of agricultural raw materials pursuant to Directive 2009/28/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Directive 2009/28/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 April 2009 on the promotion of the use of energy from renewable sources and amending and subsequently repealing Directives 2001/77/EC and 2003/30/EC, and in particular Article 19(4) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
On 1 April 2016, Croatia submitted a report presenting the results of calculations of greenhouse gas emissions from the cultivation of rapeseed. Calculations were performed for NUTS 2 region Continental Croatia, where rapeseed is grown.
(2)
After examination of the report submitted by Croatia, the Commission considers that it complies with the conditions set out in Directive 2009/28/EC to allow an EU Member State to use typical values for a smaller geographical area than that used in the calculation of the default values: the data of this report refer to emissions from cultivation of agricultural raw materials (rapeseed); the typical greenhouse gas emissions from the cultivation of rapeseed can be expected to be lower than or equal to the emissions that were assumed in the calculation of the relevant default values; and these typical greenhouse gas emissions have been reported to the Commission.
(3)
The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on the Sustainability of Biofuels and Bioliquids,
