lpv:translated text	"− I voted against this report because it authorises the exploration of shale gas in Europe in order to meet our energy demand. Shale gas is extracted using the hydraulic fracturing technique, which involves injecting a mixture of water, sand and other corrosive chemicals to create fractures in the rocks that contain this gas. This extraction method has harmful effects on the environment: groundwater contamination, emission of toxic gases, and even earthquakes. Authorising this type of extraction means, once again, allowing the commercial interests of the large energy companies to take priority over the European environment. Europe’s energy future requires a policy that priorities the environmental sustainability of the supply. That means that we need to make progress on renewable energies rather than extending non-renewable energy sources that are merely temporary patches with disastrous repercussions for the environment. For these reasons, I voted against the report."@en1
