Paragraph 6
6. Considers that local sustainable energy strategies have an essential role in terms of regional and social development, as they enhance the participation of regional players in renewable energy projects; notes that the Member States and regions have their own strengths as far as renewable energy sources are concerned and that, because of geographical differences, renewable energy policy cannot be exactly the same in every region, for which reason a specific programme should be established in the field of energy, along the lines of the POSEI schemes, as called for by Parliament in the Teixeira report on the role of cohesion policy in the outermost regions of the European Union in the context of EU 2020 (2011/2195(INI)); points out that bioenergy can do much to foster energy management, economic growth, and vitality, especially in sparsely populated regions and rural areas;
