The report has been eleborated in the frame of WP 3 Policy, Task 3.3 (Policy assessment and strategy development). The main rationale of work package 3 is to support the development of coherent national and (sub)regional policies promoting the sustainable production and consumption of bioenergy. The purpose of the country policy assessment reports is to describe the main promotional policies and support schemes for bioenergy and to assess to what extent national policy frameworks including the National Renewable Energy Action Plans (NREAPs) contribute to Sustainable Development and integrate related sustainability principles and criteria. This assessment takes into account the a) binding sustainability criteria for biofuels/bioliquids contained in the Renewable Energy Directive (RED), b) the non-binding criteria/recommendations contained in the European Commission’s Biomass Sustainability Report COM (2010)11, c) the sustainability principles and criteria developed for the BSR in the framework of Bioenergy Promotion, particularly those which are not covered by the RED (e.g. resource efficiency, energy efficiency). The reports conclude with a brief summary of country-specific policy needs and recommendations.
