TY - RPRT TI - SafeWave DELIVERABLE 5.1 Legal and institutional review of national consenting processes AU - O'Hagan, A AU - Bourhis, E AU - Soulard, T AB - Consenting remains one of the often cited barriers to the offshore renewable energy development. This deliverable outlines the current EU policy context for offshore energy development and wider environmental management. It then looks at the policy basisin two SafeWAVE project partner countries: namely France and Ireland. In relation to these Member States, their national progress on EU policy is presented together with their current consenting processes. This complements an earlier report by Bald andApolonia (2020), which focused on the consenting processes in Spain and Portugal, as part of the WESE project. This deliverable will form the basis for the remaining work to be carried out under Work Package 5, focusing on risk-based approaches and feasibility of Adaptive Management.
