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

| 203. | The Directive does not contain any definition of ‘land’. However, the references in the definition of ‘land damage’ to ‘in, on or under land’ means that the scope not only extends to the surface but the sub-surface of land. Soil is therefore included. This is confirmed by the reference to soil in the first paragraph of Annex II.2, which addresses the remediation of land damage.
