lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioners, I believe that three hours of intensive discussion show that this issue continues to be highly controversial. I am very glad that the report from the Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety gives consideration to the fears, concerns and uncertainty that exist, including in large sections of the scientific community, relating to the impact that this extraction of shale gas will have on the environment and health. We certainly need alternatives to the fossil fuels currently being used. In my opinion, however, this cannot be a future fossil fuel with the knowledge we have today. That means that we must invest in research, we must allow the shale gas project time. We have the good fortune that shale gas is contained within the earth, which means that it will not escape and there is no time frame that we must adhere to. We must take people’s fears into account. This was touched on by the Commissioner at the start: in Europe our population is distributed in a completely different way and we have a completely different population density. We need legislation that is very strict and gives consideration to human concerns, in other words environmental impact assessments, as well as very clear sanctions in the event that this legislation is infringed. Quality of life is what we should be championing here in Europe, and that must not be sacrificed for short-term profits when we do not know today what effect these will have on us."@en1
