"I do not support the report on the environmental impact of shale gas and shale oil extraction activities, and on several important grounds. The changes to individual EU Directives proposed in the report pose a serious problem. The rejection of the amendment calling for a moratorium does little to alter that fact. The report is unacceptable because it proposes a ban on hydraulic fracturing in coal mining and drinking-water protection areas, calls for a change to the emissions trading scheme to include shale gas extraction in the CO emissions prices and suggests that shale gas extraction is incompatible with the EU’s policy on climate change. The potential and likely consequences of implementing the recommendations contained in the report will include raising the cost of investment in this activity so high as to jeopardise its profitability in the EU."@en1
