"Madam President, today is the day we dispelled illusions, in particular the illusions of those who thought that Parliament could make a positive contribution on the subject of shale fuels. We know, from listening to the debate, what end this report will serve. I therefore call on all Members whose intentions are honest and who wish Poland and other countries to make use of the opportunity represented by shale gas and oil not to agree to any further regulation in this regard. I abstained from this vote in order to make the point that it is not a matter for the European Parliament; it is a matter for the Member States and their governments and should be left to them to decide.
The effects of today’s vote will include lagging competitiveness in shale gas and oil extraction in Europe (allowing the United States to increase its lead further still) and slowness in Poland and other European countries to seize the opportunity to generate revenue from shale fuels (others will get there quicker), leaving us without any benefits and allowing Parliament to be sucked in by all manner of ideological arguments and nonsense peddled by the European Left against the prospect of development in those countries for which shale extraction offers an opportunity."@en1
