"Parliament has adopted the third version of the Seveso Directive, named after the Italian village affected by a dioxin cloud following an accident in a chemical factory in 1976. The existing rules in relation to inspections have been strengthened. High-risk establishments will now be inspected at least once a year, and lower-risk sites will be inspected every three years. In order to avoid the domino effects of chemical accidents, public authorities will also have the right to obtain information on neighbouring establishments, even if they are not covered by the Seveso legislation. Lastly, thanks to the integration of the demands of the international Aarhus Convention on access to information, public participation in decision-making and access to justice in environmental matters, citizens’ rights have been strengthened. They will therefore be able to have direct access, via the Internet, to information on Seveso establishments situated near their homes, accident prevention programmes and the necessary emergency measures. These new requirements will allow us to better prevent and manage accidents involving dangerous chemicals."@en1
