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

| 116. | The concept of best information available also covers the quality of the information used to establish the baseline condition, and the inferences drawn from the information used. Care needs to be taken with the reliability and validity of information as well as the inferences drawn from it, in particular if an operator denies that adverse effects have arisen or will arise. In this context, reference may be made to Case C-209/02, Commission v Austria, in which the Court found that the competent authorities had not drawn the correct inferences from a scientific appraisal of the likely effects of a project in a Natura 2000 site (126).
