Copa-Cogeca says DG Agri wasn’t consulted sufficiently regarding REDII

In Belgium, the secretary general of Copa-Cogeca says that DG Agri has not been properly consulted regarding biofuels regulations, something that concerns that farmers unions greatly because of the opportunity provided by biofuels and the economic impacts likely if crop-based biofuels are phased out as expected. Farmers want the cap on cro-based biofuels to remain at 7% by 2030 while the Parliament wants it to fall to 3.8% while more focused is placed on advanced biofuels and green electricity.
