The Netherlands (i/ˈnɛðərləndz/; Dutch: Nederland [ˈneːdərˌlɑnt]) is the main "constituent country" (Dutch: land) of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. It is a small, densely populated country located in Western Europe with three island territories in the Caribbean. The European part of the Netherlands borders Germany to the east, Belgium to the south, and the North Sea to the northwest, sharing maritime borders with Belgium, the United Kingdom and Germany. The largest and most important cities in the Netherlands are Amsterdam, The Hague and Rotterdam. Amsterdam is the country's capital, while The Hague holds the Dutch seat of government and parliament. The port of Rotterdam is the largest port in Europe – as large as the next three largest combined – and was the world's largest port between 1962 and 2004. The name Holland is also frequently used to informally refer to the whole of the country of the Netherlands.
"Netherlands" literally means "lower countries", influenced by its low land and flat geography, with only about 50% of its land exceeding one metre above sea level. Most of the areas below sea level are man-made. Since the late 16th century, large areas (polders) have been reclaimed from the sea and lakes, amounting to nearly 17% of the country's current land mass.
In European elections, the Netherlands is a constituency of the European Parliament, currently represented by twenty-six MEPs. It covers the member state of the Netherlands. Until 2009, it excluded the Dutch in the Netherlands Antilles and Aruba.
The 1979 European election was the first direct election to the European Parliament to be held and hence the first time the Netherlands had voted. Four parties were able to win seats: the conservative liberal VVD, the progressive liberal D66, the Christian-democratic CDA and the social-democratic Labour Party. Five other nationally represented parties compete but are unable to win seats. 58.1% of the Dutch population turned out on election day.
Below is a complete list of members of the European Parliament for the period 1979-1984 as a result of this election.
The 1984 European election was the second European election to be held. In these elections both an alliance of leftwing CPN, PSP and PPR parties (Green Progressive Accord) and the orthodox Protestant SGP, GPV, RPF parties have formed a successful common lists, which win two respectively one seat. the progressive liberal D'66 loses its two seats and disappears from the parliament. 50.9% of the Dutch population turned out on election day.
The Kingdom of the Netherlands (Dutch: Koninkrijk der Nederlanden; pronounced [ˈkoːnɪŋkrɛiɡ dɛr ˈneːdərlɑndə(n)];Papiamento: Reino Hulandes), commonly known as the Netherlands, is a sovereign state and constitutional monarchy with territory in western Europe and in the Caribbean.
The four parts of the Kingdom – Aruba, Curaçao, Sint Maarten and the Netherlands – are constituent countries (landen in Dutch) and participate on a basis of equality as partners in the Kingdom. In practice, however, most of the Kingdom affairs are administered by the Netherlands – which comprises roughly 98% of the Kingdom's land area and population – on behalf of the entire Kingdom. Consequently, the countries of Aruba, Curaçao, and Sint Maarten are dependent on the Netherlands for matters like foreign policy and defence, although they are autonomous to a certain degree with their own parliaments.
The vast majority in land area of the constituent country of the Netherlands (as well as the Kingdom) is located in Europe, with the exception of the Caribbean Netherlands: its three special municipalities (Bonaire, Saba, and Sint Eustatius) that are located in the Caribbean. The constituent countries of Aruba, Curaçao, and Sint Maarten are located in the Caribbean as well.
The Netherlands is a constituent country located in Western Europe and with territories in the Caribbean. It is bordered by Belgium and Germany. The Netherlands is a founding member of the European Union, Euro Area, G-10, NATO, OECD and WTO. It is also a Schengen country and the Benelux member.

Decommissioning old offshore platforms is challenging but is made even more challenging when the platform has been severely damaged as a result of a ship colliding with it. Here is a nice video of how Petrogas working closely with Innovation Shipping BV successfully removed the Halfweg platform in the middle of winter.
Borssele III and IV offshore wind farm is located 22km off the Zeeland coast in the Netherlands 🇳🇱 and generates enough energy to power approximately 825,000 households a year.
Although France has the second largest coastline in Europe, it does not yet have any offshore wind farms. Six projects are in progress, and a call for tenders is underway for a seventh, off Dunkirk (north), which is to become the largest of the seven.

Eemshaven, one of the leading offshore wind ports around the North Sea
From dependence on the weather to wind energy whenever you want. Can we organize our energy system in such a way that we also receive wind energy from the sea when there is no wind? Now that offshore wind is playing an increasingly important role in our energy system, we are also becoming increasingly dependent on weather conditions. Are we adapting our society or can we organize the offshore energy system more intelligently? Hear what the experts have to say about the innovations required to achieve wind energy on demand. We are joined by Laurens de Vries (Delft University of Technology), André Craens (NWEA), Raja Aitazaz (FlexH2/TNO) and Daniel Buhagiar (FLASC).
It is one of the biggest challenges in the #energytransition: system integration. How do you create balance between the flexible energy demand and fluctuating electricity production of #offshorewind? RWE is going to build ‘OranjeWind’, a new generation offshore wind farm at the site of Hollandse Kust West VII on the Dutch North Sea. This wind farm will use a combination of smart innovations and investments such as offshore floating solar, a subsea lithium-ion battery, LiDAR power forecasting system and a subsea hydro storage power plant off-site.
