"Since 1967, the year of the tragic chemical disaster which took place in Seveso, Europe has done much to prevent accidents connected with certain hazardous substances and thereby to limit the serious consequences for the environment and for people. Among the new things to be introduced in the new rules, I would particularly like to focus on easier access to information for the public. Prevention and information are two inseparable concepts. Citizens need to be provided with the tools to become more knowledgeable not only about the risks connected with industrial sites in their area, but also about the possibility of mitigating the consequences of a major accident by adopting rules for self-protection and putting in practice the safety measures given in the emergency plans. The information must be understandable, up to date and timely. In addition, in case of an industrial disaster, constant communication with the people affected through use of the Internet can certainly aid the progress of the operations underway. Finally we must not forget that we cannot compromise on safety: more effective prevention also requires rigorous monitoring of high-risk facilities through constant inspections and the proper application of the rules in force."@en1
