  26. 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.
