lpv:translated text	"I voted in favour of this proposal on assessing the environmental impact of shale gas and shale oil extraction. The main advantages of shale gas for the European Union would be greater energy independence from imports, greater competition and lower prices, as well as the creation of new jobs. However, shale gas extraction has a particularly negative impact on the environment: large amounts of water are used to extract it, groundwater is polluted and there is a risk of underground explosions. The extraction of such an unconventional fossil fuel may strengthen the EU economy and increase employment but there needs to be a thorough examination of all the impacts (on the environment, public health and climate change) before developing this technology. I welcome the proposals set out that in spite of Member States’ exclusive rights to exploit their energy resources, a level playing field should be ensured throughout the EU and there must be compliance with EU safety and environmental legislation when extracting this fossil fuel."@en1
