lpv:translated text	"Madam President, amendment of the Seveso II Directive is an essential step towards being more effective in preventing disasters such as those which occurred in Italy, France and Japan, costing many lives. They destroyed public and private property and damaged the environment, resulting in costs of the order of billions of euro. The directive is important because it places obligations on operators and on authorities in the Member States to prevent accidents and limit their consequences. The European Union should systematically tighten legislation on inspection and risk analysis. Revision of the directive will improve coordination of legislation and will therefore put an end to the unnecessary duplication of inspections. It should also be pointed out that sub-contractors should be subject to special supervision, because it is often they who are negligent, as we saw in Hudson Bay. The European Parliament, which represents the citizens, should be able to play a full part in this decision-making process, so I support the view of the rapporteur that amendments to current legislation should be made under the ordinary legislative procedure. The Commission should also keep Parliament regularly informed about industrial accidents and the responses made to them. Public opinion must also have easier access to transparent and reliable information about possible dangers and what to do if an accident should occur. The Internet is an effective tool for making people aware of these issues. It should be put to use as quickly as possible, starting with an information campaign regarding the new classification of toxic substances and the hazards they pose to life."@en1
