We joint forces with 19 other organisations to express our serious concern with the delays and uncertainty regarding the final adoption of the Renewable Energy Directive.

• We are extremely concerned that the adoption of these measures is held up by a disagreement within Council on exemptions regarding a sub-target for the use of renewable fuels of non-biological origin (RFNBOs).

• Disagreement is delaying the implementation of provisions indispensable to the accelerated development of renewables.

• Every day that passes without a final Renewable Energy Directive slows the deployment of renewables projects that are badly needed to deliver globally competitive and home-grown energy to European businesses and families.

We therefore urge the Swedish Presidency of the Council of the European Union to ensure the final adoption of the Renewable Energy Directive which it has skilfully steered to this point.
