"Mr President, we are discussing the rules and specifications for this particular type of extraction, but we should not forget that these rules and specifications must also be complied with. As other fellow Members have done, I would like to roundly condemn the ‘trade in hope’ which has arisen over these possible reserves. We are talking specifically about reserves of natural gas. Similar discussions are taking place here, in the countries of my fellow Members and in my country, Greece, on the subject of oil. If we knew where these deposits are, and how many there are, we would not need to prospect for them. However, it seems that some people want to cheat the unemployed, whose numbers are steadily growing in our countries, and deceive the public, by holding out the hope of a future paradise instead of offering real solutions to unemployment. I call for an end, here and now, to this demagogy and ‘selling of hope’. We must tell the truth to our fellow citizens. It is a myth, this talk of cheap natural gas for the public, and the same goes for the discussions on oil. The price of oil is decided on the international stock markets. Natural gas is linked to that price. The price of both is steadily rising. Real energy independence is independence from carbon."@en1
