lpv:translated text	"− The European Union must give the Member States an opportunity to use the energy sources that are available to them, and for that reason I voted for the European Parliament’s report on the environmental impacts of shale gas and shale oil extraction activities. When extracting shale gas, it is necessary for strict environmental requirements to be observed, while these must not restrict the opportunities for making use of the energy resource. Clarity about environmental requirements and standards is therefore needed in order to allow enterprises to develop shale gas extraction. Shale gas is an important resource which could potentially allow the European Union to diversify its gas sources. Therefore, at a time when the dependence of Member States on imported energy sources is only increasing, we must provide the opportunity for energy to be extracted from existing sources in Member States, by laying down clear environmental requirements."@en1
