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

| 173. | Article 4(7) of the Water Framework Directive requires several conditions to be met, including the taking of all practical measures to mitigate the adverse impact on the status of the body of water (162). In order to benefit from the Article 4(7) exclusion under the Environmental Liability Directive, an economic operator must therefore comply with any mitigation conditions attaching to an Article 4(7) consent. In addition, even where an Article 4(7) consent is obtained, the Environmental Liability Directive will apply to water damage resulting from a failure to comply with such conditions (163).
