Chemical industry's help in transport accidents extended

In full, Belintra stands for ‘Belgian Incidents with Transports of Hazardous Substances’. The cooperation agreement was first concluded in 1998. The new agreement was signed on Monday at BASF Antwerp, one of the two national coordination centres for the project. Essenscia, the federation of the chemical industry in Belgium, said that with the creation of Belintra, the industry has assumed its social responsibility in transport accidents involving hazardous substances.
