BRUSSELS, April 27 (Reuters) – The European Commission has
issued a formal notice to Britain over failure to comply with EU
safety rules at Milford Haven Liquefied Natural Gas terminal, a
Commission spokesman said on Friday.
“The failure in question concerns the assessment of
potential risks from LNG tankers approaching and berthing at
Milford Haven,” spokesman Joe Hennon said.
The EU’s Environmental Impact Assessment Directive requires
such risks to be assessed and the findings to be made public.
A formal notice is a preliminary step, which ultimately
could lead to action before the European Court of Justice if a
member state does not comply.
