"The consequences of the chemical accidents that have taken place in the past have been disastrous, both for human health and for the environment, sometimes even beyond national borders. Strengthening the prevention and regulation of major industrial accidents involving dangerous substances in the European Union must therefore be a priority. This must be achieved through the revision of the 1996 Seveso II Directive. I welcome the agreement reached with the Council to adopt this regulation, which recommends, rightly, the introduction of clearer and more coherent provisions, some of the most important of which are the implementation of stricter inspection rules for some 10 000 high-risk establishments in Europe, greater frequency and transparency of these controls, and improvements in public access to information on safety and public participation in decision-making. I should like to welcome these measures, which were adopted by a landslide in plenary and which, in my opinion, are a step in the right direction and send out a strong message. I regret, however, that they do not go further, particularly with regard to transparency and communicating information to the public, which is nevertheless essential."@en1
