Recital 6
(6) The TEN-E policy is a central instrument in the development of an internal energy market and necessary to achieve the European Green Deal objectives. To achieve climate neutrality by 2050 and higher levels of greenhouse gas emission reductions by 2030, Europe will need a more integrated energy system, relying on higher levels of electrification based on renewable sources and the decarbonisation of the gas sector. The TEN-E policy can ensure that the Union energy infrastructure development supports the required energy transition to climate neutrality in line with the principles of energy efficiency first principleand technological neutrality.

(7) While the objectives of Regulation (EU) No 347/2013 remain largely valid, the current TEN-E framework does not yet fully reflect the expected changes to the energy system that will result from the new political context and in particular the upgraded 2030 targets and the 2050 climate neutrality objective under the European Green Deal. Besides the new political context and objectives, technological development has been rapid in the past decade. That development should be taken into account in the infrastructure categories covered by this Regulation, the projects of common interest selection criteria as well as the priority corridors and thematic areas. This should be implemented having regard to technological neutrality principle and therefore not singling out apriory any specific technology on the ground other than its potential for emission reduction in the end use. At the same time the revision should not affect a Member State's right to determine the conditions for exploiting its energy resources, its choice between different energy sources and the general structure of its energy supply, as laid down in Article 194 (TFEU).

(18 a) In this context draws attention to the call of the European Economic and Social Committee for priority to be given to radial connection projects and reiterates ENTSO-E opinion that support only for hybrid projects will have a perverse effect on the development of offshore RES equitably in all EU waters.
