"Mr President, the arguments against shale gas are very strong. Much has been said about the method of extraction, and I will not repeat this; however, it is quite alarming. Another important argument is that gas is a fossil fuel. Therefore, we would be making a fixed investment in another fossil energy source instead of developing renewable energy. We must also bear this in mind. As Mr Arsenis pointed out just now, the utopia of endless cheap gas in a market that would consequently not function is nothing more than a dream. What we as MEPs must do is respect each country’s right to determine its energy sources; however, we must also assert a precautionary principle. We must assert the ‘polluter pays’ principle; we must assert sustainability in the long term, and this must be decisive in how we vote tomorrow."@en1
