lpv:translated text	"I voted against this report. When we look at the effects of shale gas exploration on the other side of the Atlantic, it would have been irresponsible to consent to unbridled shale gas exploration, given that the existing European legislation has gaps and is inadequate. The studies ordered by the European Commission clearly show the harmful impact of hydraulic fracturing: risk of surface water and groundwater contamination, depletion of water resources, devastating exploitation of soil, air pollution, and so on. All precautions must therefore be taken to prevent the potential terrible consequences of hydraulic fracturing. The flaws in the legislation have been clearly identified: lack of adaptation of the Water Framework Directive, integration of waste management into the Directive on mining waste, integration of hydraulic fracturing into the Directive on environmental impact assessment, and so on. Even though the moratorium was not approved, I am pleased that the European Parliament showed its desire to provide a framework for fracturing and to respond to these challenges. Finally, we must not forget that this debate also relates to greenhouse gases and that shale gas exploration only risks aggravating the spiralling climate change. The energy transition cannot wait any longer."@en1
