34Secondly, Article 17 seeks, as is apparent in particular from recital 94 of Directive 2009/28, to facilitate trade in sustainable biofuels between the Member States. That facilitation lies primarily in the fact that, as pointed out in paragraph 32 of this judgment, when biofuels, including those coming from other Member States, satisfy the sustainability criteria set out in Article 17 of Directive 2009/28, paragraph 8 of that article prohibits the Member States from refusing to take those sustainable biofuels into account, for the three purposes set out in Article 17(1) of that directive, ‘on other sustainability grounds’ than those set out in that article.
