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

| 202. | However, the definition is restricted to ‘significant risk to human health being adversely affected’. It may be noted that some Member States use a broader definition, encompassing for example a risk to the environment or a risk of infringing limit values for certain pollutants. In such cases, the Member States concerned may maintain their more stringent soil protection legislation, but, as a minimum, they must also fulfil the requirements of the Directive with regard to land damage.
