lpv:translated text	"− I consider the EU’s energy independence essential and support the search for various new alternative sources of supply to this end. It goes without saying that the production of shale gas and shale oil should respect the rules of sustainable and safe production and take into account the environmental impact assessments previously carried out. As I come from Estonia – a country extracting oil shale – I am glad to see that our oil shale producers duly adhere to EU environmental standards. Effective supervision by the government and the general public is in place, including public debates on environmental impact assessments. The production of shale oil and shale gas by hydraulic fracturing is questionable, however, because the use of this technology is a controversial subject and it is not sufficiently safe for the environment. Thus I could not vote in favour of the amendment which supports the use of hydraulic fracturing. I did support the report because it draws attention to the need for an energy-independent Europe and promotes the search for new sources of supply. Our Member States should not be dependent on energy from undemocratic gas and oil countries."@en1
