". Madam President, there is only one rational way to assess the potential of our reserves. We need more well-bores, and it is not politicians but the geology and investors who will be able to decide how to make use of this potential. Where the introduction of environmental regulations is concerned, Poland is a country that does not have any case before the European Court of Justice relating to non-introduction of any regulation in the sphere of EU environmental law, and I do not know anyone in Poland, either in politics or in business, who would not like to apply these rules, because they make this market better for everyone; they make it a fairer market. What shall I say to the people? I shall tell them this much, that if anyone is a citizen living, let us say, in the Massif Central, that person has every right to decide on this, through a political route, to decide not to use unconventional sources of gas and oil. I would, however, say a firm ‘no’ to those citizens who, living in the Massif Central, say that such investments should not be made in Pomerania, because that is a bit too far away. Mr Perelló – on the question of prosperity. This absolutely is a huge opportunity, as I have said, and one which may have an impact on the cost of energy. Energy price levels today mean that our ability to conduct an industrial policy is becoming increasingly squeezed, and they mean that we are losing our competitiveness. Our countries are falling in productivity rankings because of the cost of energy. Obviously activities like this are always a risk, and therefore we must apply the environmental standards that are prescribed by EU law, and we want to do this."@en1
