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

| 9. | The Environmental Liability Directive addresses adverse effects on the environment arising from occupational activities. These activities are subject to legal requirements under other Union environmental laws (21). The laws concerned create a wider regulatory context which is relevant to the application of the Directive’s obligations concerning environmental damage. This is because the provisions of those laws usually also aim to prevent or limit many of the adverse effects on nature, water and land that come within the scope of the term ‘environmental damage’.
