"Mr President, I voted for the resolution on industrial, energy and other aspects of shale gas and oil. I believe that policymakers should have more accurate, up-to-date and comprehensive scientific data at their disposal, to enable them to make informed choices. Europe has the potential for the sustainable extraction and use of shale gas and shale oil resources, without putting the availability and quality of water resources at risk. We stress that shale gas exploration and extraction should not adversely affect the environment and the local communities close to this type of operation. I voted against paragraphs 15 and 27, which state that shale gas can help the EU to meet its objective of reducing greenhouse gas emission by 80-95 % by 2050. Currently, there are no conclusive studies to support this view. We call on the Member States to put in place a robust regulatory regime and ensure the necessary administrative and monitoring resources for the sustainable development of all shale gas-related activities. We recall that, in accordance with the subsidiarity principle, each Member State has the right to decide for itself on the exploitation of oil and shale gas."@en1
