Implementing Art.12 of the Seveso II Directive - Overview of Roadmaps for Land-Use Planning in Selected Member States
The Joint Research Centre of the European Commission is responsible for the coordination of the work of the European Working Group on
Land Use Planning (hereinafter: EWGLUP), whose mandate is the development of Guidelines for the implementation of Art 12 of the
Seveso II Directive as amended by Directive 2003/105/EC. These Guidelines, developed by the EWGLUP and agreed by the Member
States at the 16th meeting of the Committee of Competent Authorities responsible for the implementation of the Seveso Directive (Porvoo,
October 2006), were adopted by the European Commission on 7 June 2007.
A preliminary research, exploring the state-of art of the implementation of Art 12 within the 25 Member States (MS) was conducted in 2004
by the Major Accident Hazard Bureau of JRC in the form of a questionnaire-based survey. Final results were collected, analysed and finally
updated up to spring 2007. A group of MS ¿ the Netherlands, Italy, France, Germany and the United Kingdom ¿ was selected for further
analysis and invited to comment and revise the result of the investigation.
The European Working Group on Land-Use Planning has, in addition to the development of Guidelines for implementation of Article 12 of
the Seveso II Directive, as amended by Directive 105/2003/EC, taken part at the development of this document as a supporting tool
addressing the issue of LUP in the context of hazardous facilities. The document provides supplementary information material describing in
detail 'good LUP practices' available within selected Member States and it has a twofold objective. Firstly, it reports the results of the survey concerning 'good practice' for LUP in the context of the Seveso II. Secondly, it proposes implementation Roadmaps fulfilling Art. 12
requirements. In that context it should be noted that its character is purely descriptive and informative and it cannot be used for guidance or normative purposes. At the same time, it is believed that the structured information provided can substantially help the Seveso competent authorities and planning authorities to deal with the land-use planning issue. The document is therefore published in the form of JRC Technical Report.
