Novinite: Calls in Bulgaria for Suspension of Shale Gas Moratorium

Members of the newly established Movement for Energy Independence (DEN) have called for a cancellation of the moratorium on shale gas development in Bulgaria.

Speaking at a Friday press conference, Mihail Mihaylov, MP from the right-wing Blue Coalition, said that a proposal for forming a special commission on shale gas issues would be submitted to Parliament on Wednesday.

"Although the project was submitted to Parliament 20 days ago, nobody has paid attention to it," Mihaylov added.

He pointed out that Bulgaria had to do everything possible to study its energy resources and the lack of a debate on the matter was quite peculiar.  MORE
