2017 Chemical Accident Risks Seminar and Training Workshop : Summary Report of Proceedings and Outcomes
On 14-16 June 2017, the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre (JRC) organized a landmark event at the JRC site in Ispra, Italy site to support exchange on emerging risks in chemical accident and Natech risk reduction between European Union (EU) and EU affiliated countries, that is, EFTA/EEA countries, EU Enlargement countriesand EU Neighbour Policy Initiative (ENPI) Countries. This combined seminar and training event was the first time that all EU and EU-affiliated competent authorities met all together to share perspectives on Seveso Directive (and equivalent) implementation, to identify areas of common concern and to seek opportunities for mutual support. The main purpose of the event was to exchange on common challenges in Seveso implementation and to give training to competent authorities on newly available JRC tools for assessing consequences and risks associated with chemical and Natech accidents. It also aimed to welcome EU affiliated countries, many of whom are on the path towards Seveso implementation, into the network of Seveso competent authorities to participate in these exchanges. An expected outcome was the identification of emerging risks and ongoing priorities that could be the focus of future collaborations in the Seveso community to improve risk management and enforcement. This report highlights the main points and conclusions derived from the presentations and discussions in the seminar and training sessions.
