      abstract = {Due to concerns regarding possible negative impacts of  conventional biofuels on food security, biodiversity, land  use change and greenhouse gas emission savings, the EU  wants to restrict the use of food crop based biofuels.  Current legislation stipulates a minimum share of ten  percent renewables in fuel consumption in the transport  sector. Recent policy proposals limit the share of food  crop based biofuels counting towards the achievement of  this share to six and seven percentage points.
This policy  change will have an effect on biofuel as well as on  feedstock markets. To analyze the magnitude of such a  policy change on relevant domestic and international  markets, we extend and apply a computable general  equilibrium model.
Main findings are that limiting the use  of food crop based biofuels in the EU only slightly affects  domestic rapeseed production but significantly reduces  vegetable oil imports.},
