COMMISSION NOTICE Guidelines providing a common understanding of the term ‘environmental damage’ as defined in Article 2 of Directive 2004/35/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on environmental liability with regard to the prevention and remedying of environmental damage · European Union

| 100. | Individual influences – such as damaging occurrences that cause environmental damage – may relate to one or more of these parameters and qualifications. An individual influence does not necessarily need to affect all the different parameters and qualifications at the same time. Although a damaging occurrence may represent an individual influence, however, it cannot be excluded that some of the adverse effects it creates will arise in combination with other influences. For example, a damaging occurrence may consist of the poisoning of individuals belonging to a population of a protected species in a context where the population already suffers from other negative influences that then act in combination with the adverse effects of the poison.
