Paragraph 19 – subparagraph 1 (new)
19a. Mediterranean Region Acknowledges that, due to demographic and GDP growth, expected energy demand in the South and East Mediterranean will double by 2022, with 20% of new generation capacity coming from RES; notes that, given the overcapacity in most European countries, the optimization of energy flows requires market integration through the development of new infrastructures; stresses the importance of new electricity interconnections between European and North African markets, as this would be beneficial from a strategic as well as economic point of view, contributing to security of supply and to the development of integrated RES systems between Europe and North Africa.
