induced environments

As most of the changes induced by the Guidance concern the environmental risk assessment of Part C notifications, and in the interest of clarity and simplification for the notifiers and the competent authorities, it is appropriate to modify the structure of Annex III B by separating the requirements concerning Part C notifications from the requirements concerning Part B notifications.

These two problems have resulted, directly or indirectly, in the alarming state of demersal stocks (i.e. over 80 % of the assessed stocks are overfished and the biomass of some of them is very low, indicating that there is a high probability of collapse), socio-economic implications for the fishermen and the fishing sector, and impacts on the marine environment.

47. Considers that the use of hydraulic fracturing in the EU entails risks and adverse consequences for the climate, the environment and public health, and jeopardises the achievement of the EU’s long-term decarbonisation goal; considers, further, that on account of the limited potential of unconventional fuels to help meet the EU’s future energy demand, coupled with high investment and exploitation costs, hydraulic fracturing is not a promising technology; urges the Member States, therefore, not to authorise any new operations involving the exploration or extrac ...[+++]tion of unconventional fuels in the EU until this is proven to be safe for the environment and the public;

134. While recognising that the energy mix is primarily a Member State competence, acknowledges the public concerns about hydraulic fracturing and the consequences this technology might entail for the climate, environment and public health and for the achievement of the EU's long-term decarbonisation goal; recognises, furthermore, that the limited potential of unconventional fuels to help meet the EU's future energy demand, coupled with high investment and exploitation costs and the current low global oil prices, means that it is questionable whether hydraulic fracturing can be a viable technology in the European Union; believes that p ...[+++]ublic concerns must be properly addressed and that any hydraulic fracturing activities should comply with the highest climate, environmental and public health standards; asks those Member States which intend to pursue hydraulic fracturing to respect the 2014 Commission recommendation on minimum principles for the exploration and production of hydrocarbons (such as shale gas) using high-volume hydraulic fracturing;
