S.L. 549.49 Art. 16Emergency plans.

(1) The competent authority shall ensure that before a contained use commences:

(a) an emergency plan is drawn up for contained uses where failure of the containment measures could lead to serious danger, whether immediate or delayed, to humans outside the premises and, or to the environment, except where such an emergency plan has been drawn up under other relevant legislation;

(b) information on such emergency plans, including the relevant safetymeasures to be applied, is supplied in an appropriate manner, and without them having to request it, to bodies and authorities liable to be affected by the accident. The information shall be updated at appropriate intervals. It shall also be made publicly available.

(2) The competent authority shall at the same time make available to other Member States concerned, the same information as that which is disseminated to their nationals.
