Creation of sustainability certificates for consignments or sales of sustainable biofuel that was already use to fulfil a national quota
In a current letter, the European Commission once again emphasised that for consignments or sales of sustainable biofuel that was already used to fulfil a national quota, no further sustainability certificates should be issued. Otherwise this could result in the same sustainability certificate being credited twice. This would represent a violation of the EU Directive and/or national law.
REDcert once again confirms its previous statement that system participants are not allowed to credit the same quantity of biofuel multiple times.

We would also like to point out that the NUTS 2 codes do not coincide with the codes in the overview in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2016/2066 of the Commission from 21 November 2016 to amend the annexes of Regulation (EC) No. 1059/2003 of the European Parliament and Council on the Common classification of territorial units for statistics (NUTS).
