[Tex/LaTex] Undefined control sequence. \end Biblatex

biberbiblatexbibtex

I am using Biblatex but when I compile the document, I recived the error

Undefined control sequence. \end
I updated all packages in MikTeX but nothing changed. I changed the settings from Biber to Bibtex but then it generates different errors and asks to use biber. I am using a bibtex file generated by mendley for referencing.

A minimal working example is given below:

\documentclass[USenglish,12pt,a4paper]{article}
\usepackage{microtype}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{float}
\usepackage{url}\usepackage{microtype}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{float}
\usepackage{url}
\usepackage[backend=biber,style=apa,citestyle=authoryear,
 bibstyle=apa,natbib=true]
{biblatex}
\addbibresource{library.bib}

\begin{document}
\section{Introduction}
The section is introduced by \cite{BCBS2016}. This section provides the necessary details of introduction \citep{}.

\printbibliography
\end{document}

Two entries given in bib file are placed here:

@techreport{BCBS2016,
 address = {Basel},
author = {BCBS},
booktitle = {Basel III Document},
institution = {Basel Committee on Banking Supervision},
isbn = {9291313734},
 number = {July},
publisher = {Bank for International Settlements},
title = {{Revision to the secuitisation framework}},
url = {http://www.bis.org/bcbs/publ/d374.pdf},
year = {2016}
}

@article{Chiesa2008,
author = {Chiesa, Gabriella},
doi = {10.1016/j.jfi.2008.07.003},

You're forgetting to load babel. And the language should be called american.

\begin{filecontents*}{\jobname.bib}

Notes

I used filecontents* just not to clobber my files and to make a self-contained example. Use your own library.bib file for your document.

I removed the packages you loaded twice and reorganized a bit the preamble.
