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

| 119. | As previously noted, the assessment process is not an end in itself, but for the purposes of identifying a need for preventive measures, immediate management of damage factors and remedial measures, as the case may be. The time-critical nature of the first and second purposes needs to be reflected in the assessment process. The text of the definition of ‘damage to protected species and natural habitats’ refers to assessment ‘taking account’ of the criteria of Annex I. This should allow a focus on those aspects of Annex I that are necessary for a rapid determination of the need for preventive measures or immediate management of damage factors. For purposes of remedial measures, a more in-depth assessment is likely to be appropriate.
