"Mr President, the amendments to the Seveso II Directive stem from the need to align it with the regulation on the classification, labelling and packaging of substances and mixtures, and not from an increase in the number of major accidents, so I most definitely agree that there is no need to change the Seveso II system.
As rapporteur for the opinion of the Committee on the Internal Market and Consumer Protection, I do, however, consider the addition and clarification of provisions relating to providing information to the public, public consultation and participation of the public in decision making to be of particular importance. It is very important that this information be complete and relevant. We do not want to overwhelm the public with unnecessary information, but we do want the information to be clearly worded and easy to understand. Keeping the public informed is vital in building trust as well as in raising public awareness of the correct action to take in the event of a major accident.
Annex I is a key element of the Seveso II Directive and is essential for setting the scope of the directive. Therefore, amendments to Annex I should be adopted under the ordinary legislative procedure, and here I agree with the principal rapporteur."@en1
