Amendment 10 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 1
Paragraph 1
1. Underlines that renewable energy is key for decarbonisation, and welcomestakes note of the Commission’s ambition to reach 340 GW offshore renewable energy capacity by 2050;
Amendment 19 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 2
Paragraph 2
2. Recalls that offshore renewable energy has an impact on fisheries and aquaculture; calls for the establishment of dialogue and cooperation with fishers and aquaculture producers at an early stage and effective participation in any decision affecting them; emphasises the need to take into account local ecosystems and specificities, with an integrated management approach via an equitable marine spatial planning; welcomurges the Commission’s to conduct further analysis on the interactions between offshore renewable energy and other sea activities;
Amendment 27 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 2 a (new)
Paragraph 2 a (new)
2a. Warns that offshore renewable energy will only be acceptable if it has no repercussions for the environment or for economic, social or territorial cohesion, especially in fisheries-dependent regions;
Amendment 28 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 2 b (new)
Paragraph 2 b (new)
2b. Calls on Member States, in their national maritime spatial plans to be delivered by2021, to take into account the need to ensure that the negative effects of offshore windmills on fisheries are avoided and that therefore they are placed away from fishing grounds;
Amendment 32 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 2 c (new)
Paragraph 2 c (new)
2c. Emphasises that the precautionary principle, in accordance with Article 191(2) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, should apply if decisions have to be taken before the required knowledge or information is available;
Amendment 33 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 2 d (new)
Paragraph 2 d (new)
2d. Stresses that small-scale fishing businesses could be particularly badly affected, as they may not have the capacity to move to fishing grounds further afield or to change fishing method, particularly by any offshore wind farms in territorial seas (12 nautical miles from the coast);
Amendment 36 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 3
Paragraph 3
3. Emphasises that, although the deployment of offshore renewable energy should alsocan be an opportunity for other related activities, through an environmental, social and economic co-benefits approach, thus benefitinge social and economic effects to fishers and local communities must thoroughly be assessed;
Amendment 37 #
Motion for a resolution
Recital C a (new)
Recital C a (new)
Ca. Whereas, through their maritime spatial plans, Member States should take into account relevant interactions between fisheries, aquaculture and the production of energy from renewable sources in order to promote the sustainable coexistence of uses;

Paragraph 3 a (new)
Paragraph 3 a (new)
Amendment 104 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 3 b (new)
Paragraph 3 b (new)
3b. Is concerned about the increased potential for spatial conflict in certain European sea basins between renewable energy installations and the historical and traditional uses in terms of fisheries and aquaculture; points out that the small- scale, coastal and artisanal fishing sector would be particularly affected by the closure of fishing grounds or changes imposed on its activity, as it lacks the capacity to move to other fishing grounds or to change its fishing methods, in particular if marine renewable energy installations are located within territorial waters (which extend up to 12 nautical miles from the coast);
Amendment 106 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 3 c (new)
Paragraph 3 c (new)
3c. Welcomes the Commission’s commitment with regard to the strategy to facilitate dialogue on the environmental, economic and social sustainability of offshore renewable energy and to promote a ‘community of practice’ where all stakeholders, including industry, NGOs, fishers and scientists, can exchange views, share experience and work on joint projects at an early stage;
Amendment 107 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 3 d (new)
Paragraph 3 d (new)
3d. Acknowledges the potential of floating offshore wind energy devices, which since they can be located at a greater distance from the coastline, have a smaller visual impact and less potential spatial overlap with fishing areas;
Amendment 108 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 3 e (new)
Paragraph 3 e (new)
3e. Calls on the Member States, as authorities responsible for maritime spatial planning, to take into account the need to ensure that negative impacts of marine renewable energy installations on fisheries are avoided and therefore to ensure that they are located far away from fishing grounds;
Amendment 109 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 3 f (new)
Paragraph 3 f (new)
3f. Stresses that early, equitable, effective and continuous consultation and participation of all stakeholders, notably of fishers and aquaculture producers, the creation of transparent guidelines and, ultimately, the payment of compensation could alleviate the potential for conflict between offshore renewable energy and fisheries;
Amendment 228 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 13
Paragraph 13
13. Notes that the total space required to ensure the offshore wind capacity for the northern seas meets the 2050 goals is expected to be 2.8 %; underlines, therefore, the possibility ofhighlights the need to guarantee the compatibility betweenof sea space requirements for ORE and other intuses such as fisheriests and aquaculture; strongly believes that involving renewables developers early on in theas well as fishers and aquaculture produces early on in the decision-making process will contribute to the successful allocation of sea space;
