Shale gas extraction is a European matter, not just a national one. This was the general reaction of representatives of various political groups in the European parliament after a short presentation by the supporters of shale gas ban in Bulgaria and the speech of MEP Iliana Yotova, LiveBiz reported.

Yotova expressed her concerns regarding a yet unconfirmed possible lift of the shale gas exploration and production moratorium in Bulgaria. According to her sources - “experts that have been contacted by the government on the matter”, the ban would be cancelled under the pretext that it hinders conventional drills and the maintenance of the gas storage at Chiren, Yotova said, as quoted by Focus News Agency.  MORE
