"Madam President, today Parliament has issued two contradictory messages: a ‘yes’ to shale gas in the report drafted by Niki Tzavela and a ‘no’ to shale gas in the report drafted by Bogusław Sonik. I am astonished by the behaviour of Members on that side of the Chamber, who are doing everything to ensure that Europe becomes weaker both economically and in terms of its energy supply. I am astonished that Members on that side of the Chamber, who voted against the report drafted by Niki Tzavela, should act contrary to the principle of energy solidarity within Europe and the principle of a competitive Europe. Europe will become competitive only when it has access to cheap energy resources of its own. The United States became even stronger than before once it went from being a net importer of gas to an exporter of gas to the world thanks to its own shale gas resources. It is for these reasons that Niki Tzavela’s report deserved to be supported. I am proud that Ms Tzavela was able to present her report in Poland at a special seminar organised by Solidarna Polska and that this report has successfully opened the way for the industrial exploitation of shale gas in Europe. Let us hope that it becomes a reality."@en1
