32In the present case, the harmonisation provided for in Article 17 of Directive 2009/28 is very specific, in that it deals only with the biofuels defined in the second paragraph, (i), of Article 2 of that directive as being all liquid or gaseous fuel for transport produced from biomass and in that it merely states which sustainability criteria such biofuels must fulfil in order that the energy produced from them may be taken into account by the Member States for the three specific purposes set out in Article 17(1) of that directive and referred to in paragraph 28 of this judgment. In the context thus drawn, that harmonisation is, furthermore, exhaustive, since Article 17(8) of Directive 2009/28 states that Member States may not, for those same three purposes, refuse to take into account, on other sustainability grounds, biofuels which fulfil the sustainability criteria set out in that article.
