Paragraph 5
Paragraph 5
5. Recognises the 10 % target – to be achieved by 2020 – as a valuable target and a step in the right direction; considers, however, that it does not always reflect the market situation and has not been established on the basis of scientific evidence; recalls that the 10 % target was first set in 2002 on the basis of the installed electricity generation capacity that existed at that time; acknowledges that, although the 10 % target is important, it describes neither the quantity of electricity flowing between countries nor the quality, such as the availability of the existing interconnection infrastructure or of the existing national infrastructure between the interconnectors; believes, therefore, that a one-size-fits-all interconnection target based on installed electricity generation capacity is not on its own appropriate forrecalls that the 10 % target was first set in 2002 and has not yet been met by all Member States;

Paragraph 8
Paragraph 8
8. Regrets the lack of a transparent decision-making process leading to the establishment of the projects of common interest (PCI) list; regrets further the predominant role of ENTSO-E, transmission system operators (TSOs) and project promoters in the development of a harmonised cost-benefit analysis methodology, in preparing the ten-year network development plans and the network codes, and in evaluating the costs and benefits of each project; recalls the need to provide complete assessments including social and environmental impacts; calls on the Commission, the Agency for the Cooperation of Energy Regulators (ACER) and national regulators to play a more proactive role in order to develop a more neutral, transparent and democratic consultative process, including the effective participation of Parliament and giving voting status to civil society representatives; calls on the Commission to assess the situations in which the use of best available technology (BAT) could be established as a precondition for granting EU funds to projects;

Paragraph 16
16. Supports the Commission's recommendation that the CEF be concentrated on a few key projects; considers that adequate EU financing should also be made available beyond 2020 to support the implementation of non- commercial electricitnergy connection projects necessary to ensure the functioning of the internal energy market; stresses the importance of the EIB in supporting investors in commercially viable electricity infrastructure projects; notes the establishment of the European Fund for Strategic Investments and encourages the Commission to ensure that the fund effectively attracts investments in electricity interconnection projects;

Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 20
Paragraph 20
20. Stresses that South-Eastern Europe (SEE) is endowed with a vast – and largely untapped – potential in terms of renewables; notes that cooperation and coordination on long-term planning and building of a SEE regional grid infrastructure must go beyond the EU in order to include non-EU Western Balkan countries and Turkey; calls for the establishment of a new platformemphasises the need to strengthen the already existing platforms of Euro Mediterranean cooperation on gas, electricity, energy efficiency and renewable where all key stakeholders in the region could discuss and provide political backing to joint projects designed to fully exploit the region's renewables-based electricity potential; recognises that the EU's Central East South Europe Gas Connectivity High Level Group, established in February 2015, could become such a platform, provided its mandate is expanded to include the electricity domain and involvement of SEE's non-EU countries; acknowledges that the platform would enable the Commission to provide leadership and political support;

Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 20 a (new)
Paragraph 20 a (new)
20a. Highlights that in the Mediterranean area, especially in the central Mediterranean, more interconnections are required. This does not apply only for large scale development of renewable energy sources, but also for the proper development of security of supply, increased system security and reliability and improved economic efficiency; notes that a well-connected network in the Central Mediterranean is fundamental in ensuring the improvement of North-South interconnections which will ultimately make electricity export from Mediterranean countries to EU countries, and vice-versa, possible in the future;
