"I would like to welcome the outcome of the negotiations with the Council and the compromise package achieved. This legislative update adds that extra modicum of safety which the European Union’s citizens needed. The legislation in question reinforces the policy not only for preventing chemical accidents, but also for the manner in which the responsible operators and authorities respond in the event of accidents, so that a high level of protection is ensured for human health and the environment. Apart from operators having to implement a number of measures with the role of continually improving the activities preventing major accidents, tighter standards are also being introduced for carrying out inspections at industrial installations. It is of paramount importance for the general public to be able to access information about their legitimate concerns over the safety of the environment they live in, as well as information about the nature of the response in the event of accidents involving hazardous substances. In this regard, I am pleased that the compromise package includes these rights mentioned above, as well as provisions about the general public’s involvement in the decision-making process."@en1
