"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, I shall not prevaricate – shales provide new jobs, they are safe, they are ecological, and they lower energy costs and diversify the supply of that energy to Europe, and this is something that matters a lot for some countries. I am in a position to appreciate that you do not understand this. I am saying this to the left side of the Chamber. After all, I could have spoken and made use of the method you have used against us: you pretend not to understand, you pretend that these arguments do not get through to you, that you are in the pocket of Gazprom, that you are at the beck and call of the French nuclear industry, that you are lackeys to those who make wind turbines in Germany. I could speak like that, but I am not going to. This is because I think that you have a right to your views. I think that you have a right to your views, even though they are wrong. I would like to express the wish that you come to see that shales are good for everyone. Thank you very much."@en1
