Amendment 28 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 2
Paragraph 2
2. Underlines the importance of modern seaports for the assembly, manufacturing and servicing of offshore renewable energy equipment, and the considerable investment necessary to upgrade port infrastructure, including investment in transport terminals and infrastructure, and vessels to provide these services; points out the role of seaports, together with potentially nearby located LNG terminals, as renewable energy hubs, for electric offshore grid-connection and cross- border interconnectors, as well as for electrolysis and the storage and distribution of hydrogen and other low-carbon, gases and clean alternative fuels;
Amendment 36 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 3
Paragraph 3
3. Underlines the opportunities that offshore renewable energy can offer to coastal tourism regions, both by increasing the energy-related sustainability of tourist stays, and by balancing seasonal economic effects, providing stable and predictable jobs and growth in local renewable offshore industries and small and medium- sized enterprises (SMEs) all year round; points out that any investment in offshore wind farms should contribute as much as possible to the socio-economic development of the regions with the relevant access to the low emission fuels potentially produced as a result of the overcapacity of the RES electricity;

Amendment 52 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 5
Paragraph 5
5. Recalls that the need for further offshore renewable energy development applies to all of Europe’s sea-basins and that areas with widely untapped offshore renewable potential, such as the Mediterranean or Baltic Sea, require special attention, including through innovative technologies such as floating offshore wind, wave and tidal energy, while front runners, such as the North Sea, must continue to develop and to defend their leading global position for the benefit of Europe as a whole;
