in their land-use policies and/or other relevant policies
• They shall pursue those objectives through controls on:
– the siting of new establishments

Article12 of the Directive 96/82/EC (SEVESO II)
• MS shall ensure that their land-use and/or other relevant
policies and the procedures for implementing those
policies take account of the need, in the long term, to
maintain appropriate distances between establishments
covered by the Directive and residential areas, areas of
public use and areas of particular natural sensitivity or
interest, and, in the case of existing establishments, of
the need for additional technical measures so as not to
increase the risks to people
• MS shall ensure that all competent authorities and
planning authorities responsible for decisions in this
area set up appropriate consultation procedures to
facilitate implementation of the said policies. The
procedures shall be designed to ensure that technical
advice on the risks arising from the establishment is
available, either on a case-by-case or on a generic basis,
when decisions are taken
