The “RTRS EU RED” (‘the scheme’), submitted for recognition to the Commission on 24 June 2021, demonstrates, for the fuels audited under the scheme, the following elements:
(a)
compliance of the consignments of biofuels with the sustainability criteria laid down in Article 29(3) to (5) and (10) of Directive (EU) 2018/2001;
(b)
compliance of economic operators with the obligation to enter accurate information into the Union or national database on renewable fuels and recycled carbon fuels used in transport in accordance with Article 28(4) of Directive (EU) 2018/2001.
The scheme also contains accurate data on greenhouse gas emission savings for the purpose of Article 29(10) of Directive (EU) 2018/2001 in as far as it ensures that all relevant information from economic operators upstream the chain of custody is transferred to the economic operators downstream the chain of custody.
The Decision is valid for a period of 5 years after it enters into force. In the event that the contents of the scheme, as submitted for recognition to the Commission on 24 June 2021, change in a way that might affect the basis of this Decision, such changes shall be notified to the Commission without delay. The Commission shall assess the notified changes with a view to establishing whether the scheme still adequately covers the sustainability criteria for which it is recognised.
The Commission may repeal this Decision, inter alia, under the following circumstances:
(a)
if it has been clearly demonstrated that the scheme has not implemented elements considered to be important for this Decision or if a severe and structural breach of those elements has occurred;
(b)
if the scheme fails to submit annual reports to the Commission pursuant to Article 30(5) of Directive (EU) 2018/2001;
(c)
if the scheme fails to implement standards of independent auditing and other requirements specified in implementing acts referred to in Article 30(8) of Directive (EU) 2018/2001 or improvements to other elements of the scheme considered to be important for a continued recognition.
