Biofuel law calls for strict quality requirements of biocomponents

However, while it has the power of law, it still remains only on paper, as the Agriculture Ministry has not yet issued execution regulations, which clearly state the percentage of biocomponents which are to be part of the fuel. Another possibility is that all biocomponents which have been used until now, could be withdrawn from the fuels, as the biofuel law outlines very strict requirements and all biocomponents must have quality certificates. During the next few weeks, none will receive such a certificate as Ministry representatives have not stated how and by whom these certificates should be issued. On January 13, the government plans to accept the missing ordinances, however, the Agriculture Ministry is still working on setting the quality requirements, which are necessary in order to issue the quality certificates.
