"In order to reduce the likelihood and the consequences, at all levels, of industrial accidents, in 1985 the EU adopted the Seveso I Directive, which was replaced in 1996 by the Seveso II Directive. The latter was amended in 2003 to include, not only a list of establishments where dangerous substances or mixtures thereof are present in sufficiently large quantities to pose a risk, but also a set of obligations for operators and the Member States’ authorities, and a policy for preventing major accidents. This report seeks to validate the adaptation of this Directive to the Regulation on the classification, labelling and packaging of substances and mixtures, which applies the United Nations’ globally harmonised system of classification and labelling for chemical products, in order to bring it into line with the Aarhus Convention and enhance the criteria for inspections. I agree with the rapporteur in opposing the Commission’s use of delegated acts to amend Annex I, application of the Directive: the ordinary legislative procedure should be used, whereby Parliament will have a say in the addition of new substances. Finally, I support the implementation of access to information and public participation in decision-making processes and access to the courts in relation to environmental matters."@en1
