Proposal for a regulation
Recital 2
(2) At the same time it is clear that the long-term strength and sustainability of the European economy depends on reshaping it to face the demands of energy security and th, the need to increase eneergy efficiency and to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Increasing concerns about securing reliable gas supplies reinforce this conclusion.

Amendment 14 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 6
(6) To have a tangible and substantial impact, this investment should be focussed on a few specific sectors. These should be sectors in which: (a) the action will make a clear contribution to the objectives of security of energy supply, energy efficiency and the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions; (b) there exist large, mature projects capable of making efficient and effective use of significant amounts of financial assistance and of catalysing significant amounts of investment from other sources, including the European Investment Bank; and (c) action at European level can add value. The sectors of gas and electricity interconnections; offshore wind energy; and other renewable sources; energy efficiency actions and carbon capture and storage fulfil these criteria.

Amendment 26 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 9
(9) In the cases of carbon capture and storage and offshore windrenewable sources of energy, this Regulation builds on the Strategic Energy Technology Plan for Europe and the Directive on the promotion of energy from renewable sources, which called for a join and strategic plan for energy research and innovation efforts in alignment with EU energy policy goals, while committing towards the establishment of six European Industrial Initiatives, and in particular in these two areasout of which three (the largest wind turbines, with offshore wind as the lead application; large-scale Photovoltaic (PV) and Concentrated Solar Power; and a single, smart European electricity grid able to accommodate the very substantial integration of renewable and decentralised energy sources) are directly or indirectly linked to this specific area. The European Council at its meeting on 16 October 2008 called on the Commission to significantly accelerate the implementation of the Technology Plan. This Programme initiates the funding for Carbon Capture and Storage and offshore wind without prejudice to the future setting up of the six industrial initiatives on energy demonstration projects as outlined by the Strategic Energy Technology Plan for Europe.
