Importance of Biofuels and their Certification System – Energy and Climate Policy of the European Union An increase in the greenhouse effect, which results from the emission of the carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases coming from fossil fuels combustion, adds to the global warming that can change the climate conditions and life on the Earth. That is why biofuels are considered an alternative to fossil fuels, being an example of renewable energy sources (RES). On the basis of the Renewable Energy Directive, which is part of the climate and energy package of the European Union, every Member State is obliged to ensure that the percentage of RES in all types of transportation in 2020 will be at least 10 percent. This level can be reached only through the use of biofuels produced in a sustainable manner. However, as transpires from the audit conducted by the European Court of Auditors, the EU system for the certification of sustainable biofuels is not fully reliable.

According to the estimates of the European Court of Auditors (ECA), the average error level in expenditure on rural areas development stood at 8.2 per cent. Irregularities in investment activities constituted two-thirds of this error level, while irregularities in area aid – one-third. The ECA has evaluated the activities of the European Commission and Member States aimed at eliminating the main reasons behind the high error level with regard to this policy as partially effective. The basis for such an evaluation was the lack of systematic prevention of irregularities, despite the initiatives taken by the Commission.

Despite positive contribution of the Common Agricultural Policy to their development, rural areas are still facing difficult development challenges – social and economic, environmental and territorial alike. On 1st January 2014, a new package of EU regulations entered into force, providing a new shape to the Common Agricultural Policy, and, consequently, to the policy of rural areas development. The new regulations reflect the European Union’s strategic goals, including the key goal for the next decade, namely a growth that would be intelligent, permanent and inclusive. Such a growth is to be achieved thanks to the intelligent and sustainable economy, part of which is agriculture.
