lpv:spoken text	"I voted in favour of the revised Environmental Impact Assessment Directive. This agreement does not go as far as I would have liked in all areas but I do see it as a step forward compared to the existing EIA Directive. I acknowledge that the new legislation does not remove the threshold for mandatory EIAs of shale gas projects but that other measures agreed, such as the ban on developers submitting smaller shale gas projects in the same area with the intention of remaining below the threshold and thereby avoiding an EIA, will have the effect of making an EIA on shale gas projects de facto mandatory. I note that I also welcome the fact that the new directive places greater emphasis on additional environmental factors such as climate change, biodiversity and the impact on water, as well as on ensuring better information and public participation. I note that the revised directive has been warmly welcomed by the European Environmental Bureau and I am happy to support it."@en1
