lpv:translated text	"Madam President, deposits of alternative gas, in particular, shale gas, have allowed the United States to achieve full gas independence over the past 10 years. Thanks to these deposits, the United States has gone from being a gas importer to a gas exporter, and use of these deposits has also resulted in tangible environmental benefits, for example, by limiting the amount of coal mined and the resulting coal damage. Scientists are forecasting that a similar scenario could occur in the European Union. Exploitation of non-conventional gas deposits in Europe is the best alternative given Parliament’s high expectations with regard to reducing CO emissions, and thus reducing coal mining. What is more, we have recently seen a marked rise in the price of gas obtained from conventional sources. The situation in the Middle East is also having a definite impact. The possible exploitation of deposits will therefore enable a real reduction in the costs of generating energy, since it is an alternative to imports which are growing ever more expensive. The extraction of non-conventional gas also makes it possible to reduce unemployment, as seen in the United States, where experience has shown that such extraction pays off. In the US state of Pennsylvania alone, around 200 000 people have found work extracting and processing non-conventional gas, and the local economy gains over USD 8 billion every year from taxes, orders placed by extraction companies and concession fees. Let us therefore not lag behind, and let us take concrete measures to benefit from this huge opportunity and potential."@en1
