"Mr President, I voted for the resolution on the environmental impacts of shale gas and shale oil extraction activities because shale gas extraction requires a careful analysis of all impacts (on the environment, on public health and on the climate), before we continue developing this technology. Many governments in Europe, such as France, Bulgaria, North Rhine Westphalia in Germany, Fribourg and Vaud in Switzerland, as well as a number of US states have either banned or imposed a moratorium on the use of hydraulic fracturing for shale oil and gas extraction. I voted for Amendment 5, based on the principles of precaution and preventive action, and the risks and negative impact for the climate, the environment and public health posed by hydraulic fracturing as well as the gaps in EU legislation on shale gas activities. It urges the Member States not to authorise any new hydraulic fracturing operations in the EU. I supported the call for a ban on hydrofracking in certain sensitive and particularly endangered areas, such as in and beneath drinking water protection areas and in coal mining areas."@en1
