"Shale gas is one of the new unconventional sources of gas in Europe. The EU is fully aware of the increase in the share of shale gas on the American market, which was 17 % in 2011 and of the gradual change in the global gas trade patterns. It is important to be aware that any extraction of this gas would provide countries with a certain degree of energy independence. However, it must not be forgotten that any human inference with nature brings with it a certain degree of risk. Especially when drilling into the surface of the earth. In view of the extent of the risk arising from extraction of shall gas with respect to human health and the natural environment, I am in favour of the thorough implementation of environmental legislation in Member States. I also reject any hydraulic extraction in areas where the use of chemicals might contaminate water sources and ground."@en1
