lpv:translated text	"Madam President, Commissioner, there was a major fireworks disaster in Enschede in the Netherlands 12 years ago. It claimed the lives of 23 people and made the headlines all over the world. Last year, we had a major fire at Chemie-Pack in Moerdijk, a company that had long provided insufficient information. It was all simply down to inadequate enforcement. Also, when it comes to the fireworks disaster in Enschede, people knew for a long time what was going on in that company; they had been given free rein for a very long time. Every time a disaster of this kind happens, we go modifying legislation. However, we first of all need to properly supervise enforcement, because that is the most important element. I think it is a good thing, though, that this directive has now been revised because, indeed, transparency for the citizens, knowing what happens within a company, is extremely important and does, indeed, inspire confidence. In particular, the fact that such information is now also available on the Internet is very important right now. It provides our citizens with easy access to this kind of data. However, the fact that a single body is not in charge of the provision of information and that the municipalities or authorities do not always have the expertise to carry out proper inspections continues to be a problem. We really have to work on that. We need more support for the authorities to carry out inspections properly and we also need to inform the emergency services thereof. We need to ensure good provision of information for the citizens so that their faith in us can be justified."@en1
