"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, we agree with the rapporteur that parts 1 and 2 of Annex I cannot be changed through delegated acts. We want to ensure that the scope is not excessively widened without adequate counterbalancing exemptions, for the result would be a disproportionate increase in costs given the likely environmental and health benefits. Moreover, a significant increase in administrative costs due to the need to align with the Classification, Labelling and Packaging (CLP) Regulation would especially affect users downstream and small and medium-sized enterprises.
We are therefore well aware of the concerns expressed by the European industrial associations that are calling for option B to be selected. This would involve leaving the scope of the Seveso II Directive virtually unchanged, for it is well established and has been shown to work effectively. The broad-scope or open approach has been used for every new environmental regulation affecting industry. We believe that it is a poor way to legislate, because ideology ends up predominating over practical realities. We support the idea of extending the directive’s scope – in Article 2 – to offshore platforms and the associated oil and gas pipelines, along with carbon capture and storage (CCS) plants and salt cavities."@en1
