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

| 22. | The references to ‘without delay’ and ‘immediately’ show that the first two categories of obligation are time-critical. This has implications for the common understanding of the term ‘environmental damage’. The operator’s duties to take preventive measures and to immediately manage damage factors under the Directive exist in parallel to similar obligations under other Union environmental legislation, for example Directive 2010/75/EU of the European Parliament and the Council of 24 November 2010 on industrial emissions (integrated pollution prevention and control) (44) (‘the Industrial Emissions Directive’).
