This seems to me to be "a moratorium" on shale gas (fracking), without spelling it out.
As being an non french speaking, European investor, I try to find some information, if there exist any "small text/paragraphs" which allows a way to circumvent the directives, opening up for "exploratory fracking/drilling". What I read in english speaking papers, I am afraid there is none.

I am sorry to say Bape and mr Charest did not look upon facts, instead took a political stand. I am afraid, that the political risk (for a major investor) is of such magnitude that they will not touch QEC.
