A Lithuanian parliamentary committee called for a moratorium on shale-gas exploration in the Baltic nation as well as a legal investigation of a local company that’s half owned by Chevron Corp.

“The government should halt shale-gas exploration and production until competent European Union institutions give an opinion” on the safety of related technologies, the Environmental Protection Committee said today in a statement on the website of the legislature in Vilnius, the capital.
