"Entering into force in 2015, this directive will increase the safety of the operation of plants working with hazardous materials, thereby ensuring better protection for citizens and the prevention of accidents. I supported the approach advocated by the rapporteur in the Committee on Industry, Research and Energy, namely, that the level of health and environmental protection should be at least equal to or higher than the current level. To achieve an equal level of protection and prevention throughout Europe, Member States must arrange for the exchange of best practices and the sharing of necessary information. This would allow for a quicker identification of the causes of accidents and the mitigation of negative consequences. It is important to note that in the future, any extension of the scope of the directive must be preceded by impact assessment. The stipulation that amendments to Annex I must be made in an ordinary legislative procedure is an important aspect with regard to the role of Parliament in the legislative process. In the interest of citizens, operators must inform and cooperate with local authorities and must assume liability for any accidents. A reduction in the administrative burdens of small and medium-sized enterprises in the sector can be implemented only if an appropriate level of protection is maintained. In the interest of preserving the health and safety of citizens and preventing disasters, facilities covered by the Seveso Directive must, without exception, comply with the best available techniques."@en1
