To meet the 20% renewable energy target set by the Energy and Climate Package, the EU Commission is preparing an Action Plan on Offshore and Coastal Water Wind Energy (Spring-Summer 2008). Consequently, the EU Commission launched a consultation to collect the opinion of relevant stakeholders. This consultation was opened from April to June 2008 and especially focused on two major topics:
- The most important barriers preventing future development of offshore energy in Europe.
- Actions that might be carried out to address these barriers.
