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

| 73. | Where remedial measures in particular are concerned, it cannot be excluded that, as paragraph 20 shows, there will be a time-lag between the damaging occurrence and the first opportunity to assess its significance. Subject to the Directive’s provisions on temporal scope (as mentioned in paragraph 24 above), the existence of a time-lag is not, however, a reason to refrain from assessment, particularly where the damaging occurrence has had enduring adverse effects.
