Mainly:
The «freeze» of the procedures of Prefectures and Decentralized Administrations (former Regions and Prefectures, respectively) due to administrative modifications in the framework of Law 3582/2010 “New Architecture of Self-Administration and Decentralized Administration-”Kallikrates Program”” (Govermnent Gazette 87Α’ / 07.06.2010)
Prefectural and Decentralized Administration SATAMEReasons for delay in the drawing up of the plans
General SATAME is under update by GSCP in order to: - adapt administrative modifications imposed by “Kallikrates” Program - be modified in order to get a more flexible and effective form
Domino Effects
The licensing authority, using the information (notifications and major-accident prevention policy, for lower tier and safety report, for upper tier establishments) received from the operators in compliance with Article 10 of JMD 12044/613/2007, identifies establishments or groups of establishments where the likelihood and the possibility or consequences of a major accident may be increased because of the location and the proximity of such establishments and their inventories of dangerous substances. Provision is made for cooperation in informing the public and in supplying information to the authority responsible for the preparation of external emergency plans.
Land Use Planning
The competent authorities shall ensure that the objectives of preventing major accidents and limiting the consequences of such accidents are taken into account in their land-use policies and/or other relevant policies. They shall pursue those objectives through controls on:(a) the siting of new establishments,(b) modifications to existing establishments,(c) new developments such as transport links, locations frequented by the public and residential areas in the vicinity of existing establishments, where the siting or developments are such as to increase the risk or consequences of a major accident.
Information to and participation of the public in safety measures
•In compliance with Articles 8 and 13 of JMD 12044/613/2007 and after the administrative modifications of “Kallikrates” Program, the Prefectural Civil Protection Directorate sends to the competent Regional Council information with issues included in appendix V of article 20 of JMD 12044/613/2007. •The public must be able to access this information persistently.•The information is reviewed every 3 years by the Prefectural Civil Protection Directorates and updated: - in case of modifications in the establishments - every 5 years.•The Prefectural Council : - publishes in press an abstract of the information and informs the public that it affords more detailed information - dangles a copy of that publication in the announcement template of the Prefectural Unity - supplies regularly and in the most appropriate form, information on safety measures and the requisite behavior in the event of an accident, to all persons and all establishments serving the public (such as schools and hospitals), without their having to request it - informs the GSCP about its actions in the event of an accident -sends the GSCP and the Ministry of Environment, Energy and Climate Change a report with its actions in the event of an accident -Cooperates with the competent Civil Protection Directorate in exercises of the public

Inspections-Other measures of control
The licensing authority with the cooperation of the competent authorities organize a system of inspections, or other measures of control appropriate to the type of establishment concerned. The aforementioned system of inspections anticipates:• for both upper tier and lower tier establishments at least one on-site
inspection every twelve months• the composition of an inspection report by all the authorities who
participated in the inspection and its submission to the licensing authority, in order the latter to impose additional measures to the operator, if necessary
• the operator attends the inspection carried out by the licensing authority, if necessary
The inspection results must be notified to the personnel of the establishments.

Information provided by:- Accident Scenarios (safety reports)- Descriptive or numerical estimation of domino radius (notifications)
Accident in SEVESO establishment neighboring with non-SEVESO establishment(likelihood of domino effect):
The local Fire Service alerts the non-SEVESO establishment for possible secondary accident
Competent Prefectural Councils (GSCP coordinating instructions)
Instant public information andpertinent notification to GSCP
Public information in point of self-protection measures and proper actions in case of an industrial accident
Competent Prefectural Councils in cooperation with Civil Protection Directorates of Prefectures and Decentralized Administrations as well as CP Municipality Offices /Volunteer organizations (distribution of informative material)
Civil Protection Directorates of Prefectures and Decentralized Administrations as well as CP Municipality Offices must organize meetings, open discussions with the public, lectures in schools, hospitals, town halls etc. in point of the risks of the establishments and self-protection measures.
Problems-challenges• Lack of technical procedures – guidelines for compiling and
evaluating Safety Report• Technical procedures – guidelines for inspections in every type of
establishment• Risk Assessment• Adoption of crucial Land Use Planning policy• Drawing up of Specific SATAME (delay due to the application of
“Kallikrates” Program)• Cartographic maps (more detailed data)• Exercises (as an application of Specific SATAME)• Inspections (lack of staff and experts, lack of funds, “Kallikrates”
program)• Lower tier establishments: notifications do not include protective
zones and are not referred to toxic substances effects, due to the fact that they do not exhibit domino effects. In some cases there is not a defined value of domino radius we cannot make an analytical evaluation of the measures for the prevention and response to industrial accidents scenarios.
We must focus on:• Reaching higher level of transportation of SEVESO III
Directive• Improved collaboration among the relevant authorities • Non operating SEVESO establishments• Non-SEVESO establishments (information exchange for an
efficient emergency planning in industrial areas and the prevention of domino effects engaged in non- SEVESO establishments)
• Safety distances between SEVESO establishments (explosives excluded)
We must focus on:• Special demands must strictly kept in cases where
establishments adjoin schools, hospitals, nurseries and other points of interest.
• Public information (data basis and risk maps in a GIS platform)
• A unified licensing authority (cooperation between licensing authorities and Prefectures)
• Readiness Exercises• Inspections• Need for a cartographic representation of the area
around the establishment for both upper and lower tier establishments
