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

| 84. | The fact that the definition of ‘environmental damage’ comprises three distinct sub-categories of natural resource damage does not mean that all categories need to feature in the adverse effects in order for liability to arise. Liability can arise where there is only one category of environmental damage. By the same token, where environmental damage features more than one category, all the categories concerned need to be addressed. The Directive does not give a discretion to limit its application to certain ones.
