"I voted in favour of the package negotiated with the Council and the Commission because it is better to enact meaningful change in the Union's policy than make political statements that derail an outcome, which has been welcomed by both NGOs and industry. While I hope to see more certainty about ILUC factors and how we will deal with them as soon as possible, I shall be seeking them by maintaining political pressure on the Commission and Council through the framework established in this agreement.
Consequently I voted against the amendments tabled by the EFDD group, not because I do not believe in their content, but because I feel it would be morally irresponsible to sink a deal which so many people are waiting for. A clear outcome from these negotiations is needed so that people in developing countries in particular can gain certainty over the use of their land and that industry receives a clear signal to be able to move forward to newer generations of biofuel technology. I believe this deal, with a higher cap on first generation biofuels than I would want, is better than no deal as it represents a genuine move away from harmful biofuels."@en1
