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

| 199. | For adverse effects to be significant under the Environmental Liability Directive, it is, a fortiori, not necessary that they result in a change of the environmental status for purposes of the Marine Strategy Framework Directive – although a change from good environmental status to an environmental status that is not good would be an example of a significant adverse effect. Furthermore, marine waters, as assessed under a MSFD assessment, need not be in good environmental status: indeed, a MSFD assessment may show that they were already in a status that was not good when a damaging occurrence happened. A further deterioration of that status can also be considered as a significant adverse effect for the purpose of the Environmental Liability Directive.
