"The new proposal for a Directive seeks to repeal the current Directive 96/82/EC, called the Seveso II Directive, which is aimed at preventing major accidents such as those that occurred in Seveso, Bhopal, Schweizerhalle and other places, involving large quantities of dangerous substances or mixtures. It is also aimed at mitigating the consequences of such accidents for human beings and the environment. The main reason behind the revision of the Seveso II Directive is the need to adapt its Annex I to the Regulation on the classification, labelling and packaging of dangerous substances and mixtures. Some of the amendments are merely technical, although the proposal also provides for the right to information and prevention and emergency plans, as well as broadening the scope of application. We agree with these aspects.
We voted for this report, but we must highlight the warnings made by our group during the debate, in particular with regard to the need to improve safety, training and working conditions for workers directly or indirectly involved in the production and/or use of dangerous substances. Unfortunately, not all of the proposals were accepted by the majority."@en1
