lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, it took us long enough to finally manage to agree on a more ambitious Seveso III Directive. However, we can be pleased overall with what we have managed to achieve in the agreement at first reading during the Danish Presidency. The tragic experience from major industrial accidents in the last few decades, such as Bhopal in India in 1984 and Toulouse in France in 2001, highlighted a pressing need to revise and update European Union legislation in this area. Although the Council was not as ambitious as Parliament on the issues concerning the scope of the directive and public access to information and justice, we managed to stand up for the need for higher standards of access to information, including online information. We also successfully reached agreement on exempting certain substances so that they are managed using the codecision procedure and not by delegated acts. Mr Áder also introduced greater flexibility compared to what was envisaged by the Commission with a prerogative for Member States. The final report has provided major improvements regarding the scope of the directive and the provisions on exempting substances, although I personally regret that we were unable to go further on the requirements for access to information and company inspections. We can be pleased, on the whole, that this new, improved directive reinforces a few important proposals for protecting health and the environment, as well as for transparent information and the rights of European citizens to have access to information. I would like to thank my colleague, János Áder, for his magnificent work on this directive."@en1
