The Coalition Government promotes a balanced and evidence-based approach to drug policy within the UN drug control conventions. As Ambassador Brownfield made clear, it is important that the international community respects the
integrity of UN conventions in this area. We will continue to champion our balanced drug strategy, which since 2010 has focused on reducing demand, restricting supply, and building recovery. This includes at international forums, including the forthcoming UN General Assembly Special Session on drugs in 2016.

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport (1) what recent assessment his Department has made of the level of imported ethanol from the US being supplied under the Renewable Transport Fuels Obligation (RTFO); and what action his Department is taking to ensure that the RTFO supports the UK biofuels...
The Department for Transport administers the Renewable Transport Fuels Obligation (RTFO) and produces statistics on the supply of biofuel and biogas in the UK by country of origin and feedstock, and reports performance. Data is available at:
https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/department-for-transport/series/biofuels-statistics
For data reported under the RTFO from December 2011 to April 2012, 69% of bioethanol reported was sourced from US corn oil. For the first quarter of 2012-13 (14 April to 15 July 2012) this figure was 76%. However, this latest data only covers biofuels for which Renewable Transport Fuel Certificates (RTFCs) have
been issued. Suppliers do not need to apply for RTFCs until the end of each year. The data may not therefore be fully representative of actual supply.
The RTFO scheme is designed to reduce carbon emissions and promote the supply of sustainable biofuels. The RTFO operates as a market-based instrument which gives suppliers the flexibility to meet their obligation at least cost. It is our primary mechanism for implementing the transport elements, of the EU Renewable Energy Directive. The Directive does not provide for differential levels of support for domestic supply. All ethanol produced from US corn oil supplied under the RTFO since December 2011 has had to meet mandatory sustainability criteria in order to. benefit from incentives under that scheme, supported by independent verification.
The Department for Transport has committed to a review of the double certificate scheme and support provided under the RTFO in 2013.
In carrying out the review we will continue to take into account the views of suppliers reporting under the RTFO, including views on whether there should be a split or joint obligation.
