"Madam President, it is to be welcomed that we have succeeded in provoking discussion on a subject which has been somewhat neglected in the European Union, namely, obtaining gas from alternative deposits. As the Commissioner has already said, the geological conditions for the existence of such gas potentially exist in many countries. Amounts in Poland are estimated at 1 000-3 000 billion m with annual exploitation of around 14 billion m . Europe cannot afford to neglect this issue, if only in view of what has happened on the American market. After all, gas as a fuel will remain a key source of energy for a long time to come, as emerges from the Second Strategic Energy Review, for example. At the same time, this report reveals that Europe is dependent on supplies from third countries. In view of the current conflicts in North Africa, for example, which are causing repercussions on the fuels market, we should therefore ask questions about whether such alternative sources may be found in Europe itself. It goes without saying that the question will arise of what environmental impact such undertakings will have. I think that we should earmark a large sum of money for research into environmentally-friendly methods for extracting gas from alternative sources, such as shale beds. It would appear that Europe could be a leader in this field, too. If we wish to meet our environmental goals, we must, on the one hand, acquire new sources of gas and, on the other, specify the technology and method of exploitation in such a way as to prevent far-reaching environmental damage. Thank you very much."@en1
