"The Commission’s proposal is actually a slightly modified version of the original Directive 96/82/EC. It is good that, particularly for use in land planning and possible use with an integrated emergency system, we have a directive that unifies the method for securing and mapping the information necessary for addressing industrial accidents involving dangerous substances in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 on classification, labelling and packaging of dangerous substances and mixtures (the CLP Regulation). The ordering of Part One and Two of Annex I has changed compared to the original directive. The first part includes a list of categories of dangerous substances and the second part lists the dangerous substances or groups thereof. The nomenclature has changed and toxic substances are now divided into four groups. The scope of the directive is limited, on the one hand, by the exceptions, while, on the other hand, some new substances are classified. One exception includes the activities of extraction industry plants, including gas storage. In relation to oil rig accidents, rigs for oil and natural gas extraction are excluded from the scope of the directive, and the Commission is tasked with assessing the situation regarding the rules that apply here. All of the plants included must have a serious disaster prevention policy drawn up in writing and updated every five years, and obligations to notify the competent authority. In my opinion, the directive marks progress in this area and will help to further increase safety in the handling of dangerous substances. We have therefore supported it."@en1
