lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioners, exploiting shale gas is completely incompatible with a genuine policy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. We need to become a post-oil society but we are not going to achieve that by relying on unconventional fossil fuel reserves. The impact of fracking on the environment and health is totally unacceptable. The effects it has on the environment, health and water resources cannot be allowed to happen in Europe. Furthermore, people are strongly opposed to it. I have been an MEP for three and a half years and I can honestly say I have never seen such intense lobbying as there has been around this report. It is completely unacceptable and quite simply implies a desire to see it forced through against the European public’s wishes. Furthermore, there is no guarantee of the profitability we are being promised. In the United States, operating companies are currently in severe financial straits and now that the United States is going to make it mandatory to recover methane –because, yes, gentlemen, in answer to your question, methane emissions are a real problem – the costs are only going to increase. As a result, there is no evidence that it is profitable. That is why I signed the amendment, as it calls for a moratorium on fracking, simply because it is precisely during this period of study and establishing legal frameworks that a moratorium should apply. Finally, I call on my colleagues to reject out of hand the report presented by the Committee on Industry, Research and Energy and to vote in favour of deleting certain paragraphs which state that shale gas plays a central role in transforming the energy system and that public opposition may be the result of misinformation or lack of information. Perhaps it is time to stop treating the European public as idiots, as nothing could be further from the truth!"@en1
