"This report is damning evidence of how little information we currently have on the consequences of shale gas exploration and the use of hydraulic fracturing.
It acknowledges that this activity may be dangerous for the environment and human health, but does not draw the necessary conclusions. Instead of called for concrete application of the precautionary principle and recommending a moratorium on these activities in the Member States, it merely provides a framework for these types of activities in the future. It asks the Member States to be cautious, just as you would ask someone suicidal not to fling themselves too wildly from a bridge.
We know that shale gas exploration is hazardous. The only reasonable position on this matter is to call immediately for a moratorium. This report does not do that. It is an unacceptable concession to the gas lobbies that have been campaigning in the European Parliament for months. I voted against the report."@en1
