A report ('Carte Blanche for fracking') by Corporate Europe Observatory (CEO) and Friends of the Earth Europe was published on the 15 April 2015. The report discussed the European Commission's new 2015 advisory network on fracking called the European Science and Technology Network on Unconventional Hydrocarbon Extraction.

The authors of the report claimed that the network is dominated by shale gas proponents and was opening the back door to shale gas expansion across Europe, despite massive public opposition.
