I voted against the report because the exploration of shale gas poses a serious threat to the environment as it can cause groundwater contamination. My group tabled an amendment to this report on the inclusion of a moratorium on these types of activities in Europe. This moratorium is essential if we want to guarantee healthy, uncontaminated water and prevent documented secondary effects such as earthquakes caused by serious land disturbance. The amendment proposing this moratorium was rejected by the majority of Parliament, thereby allowing this type of exploration to take place in the European Union, with the serious consequences for the environment that that entails. For these reasons, I voted against the report."@en1
