development of ORE in the North Sea basin is probably not a lack of MSP policy, but uncertaintyrelated to financial support mechanisms and/or the possibility to connect to an electric powertransmission. Nevertheless, the developed MSP policies and practices, and the lessons learned maybe interesting to share with coastal states of other EU sea basins. A final question remains: is theprogress of MSP policy related to ORE deployment in the North Sea basin a consequence of the OREdevelopment or is MSP a preliminary condition for the development of ORE? The facts 62 tend tosuggest that comprehensive MSP followed the first batch of offshore renewable energydevelopments in the North Sea.A recent form of regional cooperation between North Sea coastal states is related to how to transportthe production from ORE in the sea basin. To this end North Sea countries have developed a regionalcooperation framework at policy and grid transmission system operator level to discuss possiblefuture offshore grid interconnections. It seems necessary to include at some point new developmentsrelated to offshore grid design within existing North Sea MSP policies. It seems important as well tohave the ORE sector more formally involved in this regional cooperation framework, e.g. as constantmembers of the NSCGI and its working groups.62 D: Vindeby (1991), Horns Rev I(2002), Samso (2003),Deliverable D 2.386 | P a g e
5. BALTIC SEA5.1 POLICY AND LEGAL FRAMEWORK5.1.1 Barriers and obstaclesMost Baltic Sea countries have no comprehensive MSP legislation in place, or sectoral zoning foroffshore energy development (with the exception Germany for its Baltic EEZ and to a certain extentDenmark). The main reason seems to be the absence of a policy stimulating ORE development, ascan be seen in table 4 (below): the offshore renewable energies NREAP targets are minimalistic, orjust lacking.5.1.2 Good practicesPoland has a legal possibility for preparing maritime spatial plans since 2003. A test MSP wasrecently launched in the Gulf of Gdansk. Sweden has proposed a Cohesive Swedish Maritime Policyin 2008 and a series of legislative acts that are the legal basis for ORE development both in theterritorial sea and EEZ. Germany has adopted a spatial planning policy for the Exclusive EconomicZones in the Baltic Sea in 2009. Estonia has no MSP policy but it adopted its National RenewableEnergy Action Plan in 2010, with an offshore wind target of 250 MW.5.1.3 Policy recommendations• Provide additional policy incentives for offshore, as the EU-RES Directive appears not to havegenerated ambitious ORE targets for 2020 in the Baltic Sea countries.• Build on results of the BaltSeaPlan 63 initiative - a regional cooperation initiative aiming atpreparing national MSP processes in the Baltic Sea area - to further integrate the futuredevelopment of ORE. This would considerably contribute to the regional coherence of nationalMSPs in the Baltic region.• Cooperate with organisations such as VASAB 2010 64 , the intergovernmental organisation ofMinistries responsible for spatial planning in the Baltic Sea Region (BSR). VASAB expressedsupport to MSP in its recent Long Term Perspective for the BSR, which represents a clearpolitical signal that will help pave the way for MSP in this sea basin.5.2 PERMITTING AND LICENSING5.2.1 Barriers and obstaclesIn most Baltic countries, no specific ORE licensing processes have been set up so far. The absence ofan ambitious national ORE 2020 target may constitute a barrier for the establishment of a legislativepermitting procedure for ORE development.5.2.2 Good practices63 http://www.baltseaplan.eu64 http://www.vasab.orgDeliverable D 2.387 | P a g e
