Member states across Europe are increasingly opting for bio-fuels obligations as the preferred policy route. Nine other member states have now signalled their intention to introduce bio-fuels obligations, including the UK, Germany, France, Poland, the Czech Republic, the Netherlands, Slovenia, Austria and Finland. The Government is not aware of any member state that has proposed a mandate system as proposed by Fine Gael, because they know it would be illegal.
