Within the growing renewable energy market, production is increasingly moving offshore, both in a move to capture better and more abundant energy resources as well as for social and logistical reasons. Half of the world’s population lives within 60 km from the coastline, making it a natural match for energy supply and demand. Demand for new-build and converted FPSO (Floating Production Storage and Offloading) vessels and FLNG (Floating Liquid Natural Gas) facilities have increased due to the declining rate of new onshore oil discoveries to historic low levels and also from technology that enables efficient deepwater oil exploration in unprecedented ocean depths.

In mid-June the European Commission released a call for input on an instrument to address foreign subsidies in the single market called the White Paper on an Instrument for Foreign Subsidies. The tools proposed in the Paper aim to tackle distortions a) in the single market in general, b) acquisitions of EU companies, and c) in EU public procurement. The paper also proposes an approach to foreign subsidies in the context of EU funding. Given the potential impact that this document will have on European business both in Europe and in China, the European Chamber has developed a draft document with feedback and will ask for input from industry representatives at the Chamber. The European Chamber deadline for comments is Friday, 18th September 2020. Ahead of this we are setting up a Virtual roundtable for members of the Shipbuilding WG on Tuesday 15th September, 15.00-16.00 CST to discuss and align on our feedback to the European Commission.
