Section 3 discusses problems of public participation, access to information and access to justice in shale gas related law-making at the EU-level (s 3.1) and Member States level (s 3.2). Section 2 offers a necessary background of this report by discussing (i) the case for the shale gas in the EU (s 2.1), (ii) the spectrum of shale gas related problems (s 2.2), (iii) public views on fracking and the shale gas industry throughout the EU (s 2.3), and (iv) the concept of the SLO (s 2.4).
