The EU-25 current account remains in broad balance in the face of high energy prices, stronger growth and the appreciation of the euro against other major currencies.

122. Stresses that trade plays a key role in energy security, and that strong energy partnerships, reinforced by the inclusion of energy chapters in the EU’s trade agreements, are essential tools; considers it of key importance that these chapters enhance the EU’s energy diversification and reduce dependence on imported energy sources from too few suppliers, establish quality standards for energy products and common standards for sustainable energy production, and encourage both diversification of supply routes and local energy production, especially from renewables, as the energy security strategy should promote the use of domestic energy sources, energy efficiency, interconnection and consumption reduction policies; believes that foreig ...[+++]n direct investment in strategic energy infrastructure assets in the Union can have also negative effects and should be monitored by the Commission; calls on the Commission to provide the Member States with the best possible technical support in order to safeguard swift, proper implementation of EU legislation in the area of energy; points out that where Member States have a negative trade balance, this is mostly due to the costs of imports of fossil fuels;

53. Recalls that the EU’s trade deficit arising from fossil fuel imports is set to increase in the coming years, and that dependence on fossil fuel imports entails ever-growing political, economic and environmental risks; underlines in this respect the role domestic renewable energy sources play in terms of security of supply and re-establishing a positive trade balance with oil and gas exporter countries, and therefore stresses that these should play a larger role in achieving the EU’s energy security;

122. Supports the shift to carbon-free energy generation, ensuring that the design and location of renewable energy generators provides proper safeguards for maritime wildlife; therefore, calls for the careful planning of maritime renewable energy installations; notes that there are many potential hazards associated with energy production which must be avoided; highlights that structures aimed at harnessing wind or wave energy can effect the natural cycles of the lower layer of the sea; emphasises that estuaries could lose inter-tidal bird feeding areas due to the introduction of barrages that reduce tidal range; underlines, similar ...[+++]ly, that tidal power changes could affect horse mussel and flame-shell reefs, maerl beds, anemone and soft corals;
