47. Calls on the Commission to propose, by the end of 2015, targets, measures and instruments to efficiently tackle food waste, including setting a binding food waste reduction target of at least 30 % by 2025 in the manufacturing, retail/distribution, food service/hospitability sectors and the household sector; calls on the Commission to promote the creation in Member States of conventions proposing that the retail food sector distributes unsold products to charity associations; calls on the Commission, when conducting an impact assessment on new relevant legislative proposals, to evaluate their potential impact on food waste;

17. Welcomes the fact that, in its communication, the Commission addresses various specific waste challenges such as waste prevention, marine litter and food waste; points to the direct economic impact on businesses and consumers of food waste, owing to the costs of waste disposal and the economic losses caused by throwing away saleable or edible food (more than 100 million tonnes of food goes to waste in the EU every year); recalls that one euro spent on fighting food waste could prevent 250 kg of food, worth EUR 500, from being wasted; highlights the environmental and economic potential of a recirculation of nutrients between urban ...[+++]and rural areas, and of “closing the loop” between cities and the agricultural industry; urges the Commission to address the issues of food waste and nutrient recirculation in the context of the CEP; calls on the Commission to introduce separate collection schemes for food and organic waste (including, where relevant, door-to-door collection), and to prioritise the composting of organic material;

(aa) the effectiveness of the incentives provided for biofuels from non‑land using feedstocks and non‑food crops under Article 3(4) of Directive 2009/28/EC including whether the Union as a whole is expected to use 0,5 percentage points in energy content of the share of energy from renewable sources in all forms of transport in 2020 from biofuels produced from feedstocks and other fuels, listed in part A of Annex IX; ( ab) the impact of increased demand for biomass on biomass using sectors; (ac) the possibility of setting out criteria for the identification and certification of low indirect land-use change-risk biofuels and bioliquids t ...[+++]hat are produced in accordance with the sustainability criteria provided for in Directives 98/70/EC and 2009/28/EC, with a view to updating Annex V to Directive 98/70/EC and Annex VIII to Directive 2009/28/EC, if appropriate.; (ad) potential economic and environmental benefits and risks of increased production and use of dedicated non-food energy crops, by using also the data of existing projects; (ae) the relative share of bioethanol and biodiesel on the Union market and the share of energy from renewable sources in petrol.

(42) Aquaculture should contribute to the preservation of the food production potential on a sustainable basis throughout the Union so as to guarantee long-term food security including food supplies, as well as growth and employment for European citizens and to contribute to the growing world aquatic food demand.

EFSA should however be in a position to start the re-evaluation of a food additive or a group of food additives with higher priority, on a request from the Commission or on its own initiative, if new scientific evidence emerges that indicates a possible risk for human health or which in any way may affect the assessment of the safety of a food additive.

However, multiple formulations of a food can be proposed by the applicant as candidates to bear the health claim in the same application, provided the scientific evidence is valid for all proposed formulations of a food bearing that same health claim.
