Source text - English In the light of the severe accidents at the Union Carbide factory at Bhopal, India (1984) where a leak of methyl isocyanate caused more than 2.500 deaths and at the Sandoz warehouse in Basel, Switzerland (1986) where fire-fighting water contaminated with mercury, organophosphate pesticides and other chemicals caused massive pollution of the Rhine and the death of half a million fish, the Seveso I Directive was amended twice, in 1987 by Directive 87/216/EEC of 19 March 1987 (OJ No L 85 of 28 March 1987) and in 1988 by Directive 88/610/EEC of 24 November 1988 (OJ No L 336 of 7 December 1988). Both amendments aimed at broadening the scope of the Directive, in particular to include the storage of dangerous substances.
The reporting requirements of the Seveso I Directive were last amended in 1991 by Directive 91/692/EEC of 23 December 1991 standardizing and rationalizing reports on the implementation of certain Directives relating to the environment (OJ No L 377 of 31 December 1991). The first report about the implementation of the Seveso I Directive has been published by the Commission in 1988 (COM (88) 261 final).
Translation - Polish W związku z poważnymi awariami w fabryce Union Carbide w Bhopalu (Indie, 1984), gdzie wyciek izocyjanianu metylu spowodował ponad 2.500 zgonów, oraz w magazynie firmy Sandoz w Bazylei (Szwajcaria, 1986), gdzie woda używana pierwotnie do gaszenia pożaru, skażona rtęcią, pestycydami organofosfatowymi i innymi związkami, spowodowała masowe skażenie Renu i śmierć 0,5 mln ryb, Dyrektywa Seveso I była poprawiana dwukrotnie – w roku 1987 Dyrektywą 87/216/EWG z dn. 19.03.1987 (OJ nr L 85 z dn. 28.03.1987) i w roku 1988 Dyrektywą 88/610/EWG z dn. 24.11.1988 (OJ nr L 336 z dn. 7.12.1988). Obie poprawki miały na celu poszerzenie zakresu Dyrektywy, szczególnie o przepisy dotyczące składowania substancji niebezpiecznych.
Zawarte w Dyrektywie Seveso I wymogi dotyczące raportowania były ostatnio poprawiane w roku 1991 Dyrektywą 91/692/EWG z dn. 23.12.1991, standaryzującą i racjonalizującą raporty nt. realizacji niektórych dyrektyw środowiskowych (OJ nr L 377 z dn. 31.12.1991). Pierwszy raport z realizacji Dyrektywy Seveso I został opublikowany przez Komisję w 1988r. (COM (88) 261 final).
