ANNEX I- SHORT DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT

The proposed research focuses on the legal regime applicable to offshore energy production and energy transfer, since relevant development plans are subject to a complex, highly specialized and fragmented legal

framework. There are three major areas of international law, which apply to offshore energy: first the Law of the Sea, secondly the rules of international environmental law and thirdly the European Union regulations on energy financing, and the taxation of renewable energy sources. Therefore, it is obvious that the management of offshore energy sources requires the study of numerous conflicting demands and concerns, including the deep and serious concerns for the deterioration of the Mediterranean environment and existing and urgent claims for fisheries, tourism and investment in a global environment of ongoing economic crisis. To this end, the research team will use the Aegean and the Eastern Mediterranean as a case study, and at the same time it will also include worldwide and integrated references. The objective of this study is to clarify, explain and bring together in a single regime, a wide variety of different rules, concurrent or conflicting, with the aim of their immediate practical application in what is a topic of absolute priority in the international and regional level. The subject is of extremely topical interest and as such, the final product is expected with great interest by the international community of academics and practitioners of international law as an important tool for the design and implementation of energy policies in the future.
