Article 1

Open ↗

The ‘SURE’ (‘the scheme’), submitted for recognition to the Commission on 29 June 2021, demonstrates, for the fuels audited under the scheme, the following elements: (a) compliance of the consignments of biomass fuels with the sustainability criteria laid down in Article 29(2) to (7) 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.
