In response, the Commission agreed to develop a framework for safe and secure unconventional hydrocarbon extraction in the EU following the objectives:

Building on the existing EU legislation and on available and further improving practices and technologies, the Commission calls upon Member States which are currently exploring or plan to explore and produce their unconventional hydrocarbon resources such as shale gas to properly implement and apply existing EU legislation and in doing so, or in adapting their implementing legislation to the needs and specificities of unconventional hydrocarbon resources to follow the accompanying Recommendation to make sure that proper conditions for their safe and secure development are in place, also taking into account possible effects on neighbourin ...[+++]g countries.

Key actions Member States should: Continue the deployment of renewable energy sources in order to achieve the 2020 target in the context of a market-based approach; Initiate the Europeanization of renewable energy support systems through improved coordination of national support schemes; Accelerate fuel switch in the heating sector to renewable heating technologies; Ensure stable national regulatory frameworks for renewables and address administrative barriers; Facilitate access to finance for renewable projects on all levels (large and small scale) through a concerted initiative by the European Investment Bank and national investment banks, where relevant making use of the support provided by the ESI Funds; Exploit, where this option ...[+++]is chosen, hydrocarbons and clean coal taking into account the decarbonisation priorities; Stream-line national administrative procedures for hydrocarbon projects, including by carrying out Strategic Impact Assessments and setting up one-stop-shop for granting permitting procedures, in accordance with the Commission's guidance documents on Streamlining environmental assessment procedures for energy infrastructure and Projects of Common interest and on EIAs for large-scale trans-boundary projects [25]; Assess the potential of unconventional hydrocarbons taking full account of Recommendation 2014/70/EU in order to ensure that the highest environmental standards are implemented; Support demonstration projects for carbon capture and storage, particularly those co-financed by the NER 300 Programme and the European Energy Programme for Recovery, such as the ROAD project.

In its Communication to the Council and the European Parliament on the exploration and production of hydrocarbons (such as shale gas) using high-volume hydraulic fracturing in the EU (1), the Commission outlined the potential new opportunities and challenges related to unconventional hydrocarbon extraction in the Union as well as the main elements deemed necessary to ensure the safety of this technique.

The Commission will: Launch a European science and technology Network on unconventional hydrocarbon extraction; Organise an exchange of information between Member States, the relevant industries and non-governmental organisations promoting environmental protection in order to draw up Best Available Techniques (BAT) reference documents on hydrocarbons exploration and production (BREF); Ensure the full implementation and review of the CCS Directive and take a decision on the second round of awards under the NER 300 Programme; Promote the development of renewable energy technologies and trade in multilateral and bilateral negotiations.
