EU Seveso III Directive (Directive 2012/18/EU) SEV-Art.14_15: Public consultation + access to justice (Seveso III Articles 14 and 15) - Aarhus alignment

Article 14 imposes PUBLIC CONSULTATION obligations in respect of: (a) planning for specific individual projects: new establishments + modifications + significant external emergency plans (consultation on the external emergency plan); (b) drawing-up of general external emergency plans; (c) developments around existing establishments where the siting or development may increase the risk or consequences of a major accident. Article 14(2) the public consultation must be done in a manner that ensures the public concerned + the public are given early + effective opportunities to express an opinion. The Article 14 framework operationalises the Aarhus Convention's public-participation pillar in the Seveso context. Article 15 access to justice: the public concerned with sufficient interest OR maintaining the impairment of a right has access to a review procedure to challenge the substantive + procedural legality of acts + omissions covered by Article 14 + the operator's decisions on access to information. The Article 15 review is the Aarhus Convention access-to-justice pillar in the Seveso context.
