According to new EU rules seen by EurActiv in January 2014, European countries allowing shale gas drills would have to publish a ‘scoreboard’ showing compliance with ‘best environmental practices’ which could become legally-binding within 18 months. The Guardian reported on 14 January 2014 however that the UK had defeated French attempts to get the EU to set legally binding environmental regulations for the continent's fledgling shale gas industry. Instead, the European Commission would propose recommendations rather than a legally binding directive. |
