In fact, many experts are expecting the development of Shale Gas will be the new future energy and a hero of overcoming economic crisis, and bring the new Golden Age of natural gas. In spite of that, many the other experts are apprehending the development of Shale Gas will cause the serious environmental problems such as a depletion of drinking water, a land damage, and the water supply problems.

The structure of this paper is as follows: In the chapter II, I will introduce the EU's general energy policy, the main rudder of energy policy in Eastern Europe, and I will discuss about it's limitation in Eastern Europe. In the chapter III, I will analyze the real problems of Eastern European countries on the ongoing development of the EU energy policy. Especially, in this chapter, I will largely divide into the four goals and contents, and the backgrounds of the development of Shale Gas in countries of Eastern Europe will be discussed. In the chapter IV, I will explain the development status and characteristics, and the limitations and problems of Shale Gas development focusing on the Poland and Romania. Finally, in chapter V, I will summarize the contents of this paper, and refer to my opinion about many controversies related to the development of Shale Gas and the prospects.
