"The report by Niki Tzavela, a member of the Europe of Freedom and Democracy Group and the Committee on Industry, Research and Energy, which was adopted by Parliament today, gives the green light for the development of unconventional gas extraction in the European Union. It underlines the clear economic and social benefits the new technology will bring for Europe, following its spectacular success in the United States, delivering cheap gas and economic growth and ending the country’s dependence on imports. I need only mention the fact that, as a result of the shale gas revolution, the US has gone from an importer to an exporter of gas in the space of a few years. Its price on the US market is USD 70 per 1 000 m
while Europe pays Russia, at the very least, more than eight times as much for a similar quantity of gas. Meanwhile, the report drafted by Bogusław Sonik, a member of the Group of the European People’s Party and the Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety, which was adopted by a majority of 70 votes, in effect gives the amber light to this sector and does not serve Polish interests. It sends a very bad signal to industry, which, understandably, dislikes a lack of legal clarity and certainty. In spite of everything, the situation does not look promising for unconventional gas. At a time of crisis, the EU should deregulate and cut down on unnecessary legislation, as well as simplifying and facilitating new investment and economic development."@en1
