"This report advocates guarding against the environmental impacts associated with the exploration and extraction of unconventional shale gas and oil, by planning, testing, use of new and best available technologies, data collection and monitoring. In our opinion, this is insufficient. At the very least there should be a moratorium on the exploration of shale gas and oil deposits, bearing in mind that these techniques result in highly controversial and significant environmental impacts, involving deep drilling, explosions in the shale layer, and injection of water, chemicals and sand at high pressure in order to extract the gas and oil. We signed an amendment, which urged the Member States not to allow any hydraulic fracking operations, bearing in mind the precautionary and preventative principles, and also the risks to the environment and public health, but which was rejected by the majority of Parliament. We therefore voted against the report."@en1
