lpv:translated text	"Madam President, the decrease in the emission of greenhouse gases is a worthwhile objective. I do wonder, however, whether this objective will be reached by promoting the use of biofuels. Biofuels have, apart from the positive C02 effect, other environmental effects too. Indeed, other gases are released during combustion, and these environmental effects are less positive as a rule. I therefore consider an integral environmental impact study to be necessary in order to remove the doubts that exist in connection with the use of biofuels. If we now promote biofuels by means of fiscal measures without gaining a clear picture of the effect on the environment, we could well end up disappointed. Promotion will be appropriate when the use of biofuels makes a clear contribution to a better environment. However, it will need to be stressed that the same emission standards must apply to engines that run on biomass as they do to regular fuel engines."@en1
