However, the ban discredited the entire unconventional hydrocarbon industry, which galvanized a coalition of pro-exploration policy actors. Since 2011, various politico-administrative committees (or ``professional forums'') were created to discuss on shale hydrocarbons. The design of those committees and the strategic participation of proexploration actors have not reversed the ban but led to incremental changes which should facilitate hydrocarbon exploration.< Leer menos
