I voted in favour of this document because changes to the current directive should improve implementation and enforceability and thereby increase the level playing field and where possible reduce the administrative burden for industry. Major industrial accidents, such as the accidents in Seveso (Italy, 1976), Bhopal (India, 1984), Schweizerhalle (Switzerland, 1986), Enschede (Netherlands, 2000), Toulouse (France, 2001) and Buncefield (United Kingdom, 2005), have taken many lives, destroyed public and private properties and damaged the environment, costing billions of euros. To reduce the likelihood and the consequences of such accidents the EU first adopted Directive 82/501/EEC (Seveso I Directive) and later the current Directive 96/82/EC (Seveso II Directive), amended by Directive 2003/105/EC, covering around 10 000 establishments where dangerous substances (or mixtures thereof) are present in sufficiently large quantities to create a major accident hazard. It contains obligations on operators and the Member States’ authorities to prevent accidents and to limit their consequences."@en1
