Criteria for determining the high indirect land-use change-risk feedstock for which a significant expansion of the production area into land with high carbon stock is observed
Article 3
For the purpose of determining the high indirect land-use change-risk feedstock for which a significant expansion of the production area into land with high-carbon stock is observed, the following cumulative criteria shall apply: (a) the average annual expansion of the global production area of the feedstock since 2008 is higher than 1 % and affects more than 100 000 hectares; (b) the share of such expansion into land with high-carbon stock is higher than 10 %, in accordance with the following formula: where x hcs = share of expansion into land with high-carbon stock; x f = share of expansion into land referred to in Article 29(4)(b) and (c) of Directive (EU) 2018/2001; x p = share of expansion into land referred to in Article 29(4)(a) of Directive (EU) 2018/2001 including peatland; PF = productivity factor. PF shall be 1,7 for maize, 2,5 for palm oil, 3,2 for sugar beet, 2,2 for sugar cane and 1 for all other crops. The application of the criteria in points (a) and (b) above shall be based on the information included in the Annex, as revised in accordance with Article 7.
