"Madam President, it was probably a mechanical error that prevented the registration of my vote in favour of Ms Tzavela’s report, because I strongly support making use of the opportunity presented by shale gas, both in order to achieve a low-emissions economy and for the sake of economic growth itself. I would like to say, however, that I do not dismiss the concerns about shale gas extraction, in particular with regard to hydraulic fracturing, referred to by Mr Sonik. I am aware that there are fears, and possibly even actual risks, which it is why it is good for gas extraction to be carried out in accordance with strict environmental standards. I do not share the views of my colleagues in the European Conservatives and Reformists Group, as paragraph 2 of Mr Sonik’s report clearly states that competence for shale gas extraction and energy matters lies with the Member States, not the European Union. I welcome the fact that a moratorium was rejected. I invite all those who have concerns, but are curious to learn what shale gas extraction looks like, to the exhibition taking place right now, where they can find out about the facts, not the threats or myths."@en1
