It is a compromise, not a ban. Certain tests will be allowed, until those are concluded there will be a moratorium (halt) on full-scale commercial fracking.
What's with the BS being reported about Germany lately? First the misreporting on the electric vehicles, now this.
It's not merely Germany. Newspapers and news agencies have become as reliable and unbiased as a news source as an average opinion blogger - on just about any topic.
Reuters could have better described the moratorium (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moratorium_(law)) vs a law and should have avoided the word 'indefinitely' in the headline. But I don't think the article grossly misinforms the reader: it lists the 5 years, it lists the compromise, it mentions the exceptions for the tests.
