Recital 20
Recital 20
(20) It is necessary to set transparent and unambiguous rules for calculating the share of energy from renewable sources and for defining those sources. In this context, the energy present in oceans and other bodies of water in the form of waves, marine currents, tides, ocean thermal energy gradients or salinity gradients should be included.

(51) The specific situation of the outermost regions is recognised in Article 349 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union. The energy sector in the outermost regions is often characterised by isolation, limited supply and dependence on fossil fuels while these regions benefit from important local renewable sources of energy, such as marine energies. The outermost regions could thus serve as examples of the application of innovative energy technologies for the Union. It is therefore necessary to promote the uptake of renewable energy in order to achieve a higher degree of energy autonomy for those regions and recognise their specific situation in terms of renewable energy potential and public support needs.

(20a) Renewable marine energies offer the European Union a unique opportunity to reduce its dependency on fossil fuels, help achieve its CO2 emissions reduction targets and create a new branch of economic activity that generates jobs across large swathes of its territory, including in the outermost regions. The European Union must therefore strive to create economic and regulatory conditions propitious to their deployment.
