By October 2014, the European Commission (EC) aims to reach an agreement on the future policy for biofuels. Main features are a seven percent cap on conventional biofuels and further support of the transition to second generation biofuels. The EC has effectively cut off imports from the most competitive suppliers but expansion of the domestic market for biofuels is dwindling.Lower fuel use, adjusted biofuels blending mandates and double counting towards these mandates have reduced demand since 2011.
