Mr. Tassos Haniotis:
I will ask my colleague in the DG Environment to comment on that, but in the DG Agriculture, fracking is an issue that we have been following in terms of the impact it has on energy costs and its links to fertiliser. Perhaps Mr. Patrick Barrett will have something specific to add from the environmental point of view.
