What does the Seveso Directive require EU member states to ensure?

1. That manufacturers prove that major hazards have been identified and that safety measures have been adopted

2. That all air pollutants are below established emission limit values

3. That all drinking water standards meet the Safe Drinking Water Act requirements

4. That all waste electrical and electronic equipment is recycled

The correct answer is: That manufacturers prove that major hazards have been identified and that safety measures have been adopted

The Seveso Directive requires EU member states to ensure that manufacturers have identified major hazards and adopted necessary safety measures. Option B is incorrect because it only applies to air pollutants, not major hazards in general. Option C is incorrect because it only pertains to drinking water standards, not hazards and safety measures for manufacturing. Option D is incorrect because it specifically mentions waste electrical and electronic equipment, which is not related to the Seveso Directive. Therefore, the most appropriate answer is A.
