"Mr President, industrial accidents with dangerous substances are, unfortunately, a reality of our times. Information for the public and their participation in decision making is not just a right, it is a necessity: only an informed population can limit the dangers and only a population that decides to do so can protect itself from abuses. Prevention and limitation of the consequences are the first priorities, so I welcome this proposal. However, when we see that even recently, in Hungary, the poorest of the poor were abandoned following the toxic sludge spill, and when we see that, in the chemical accident in Bhopal, India, hundreds of thousands of victims were left to their fate at the same time as the company was operating and making a profit in Europe, we cannot remain ignorant; we cannot forget. There is also a need for these companies to be held financially and criminally responsible, and for even more transparency."@en1
