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

(182) See Article 4 of Decision (EU) 2017/848. Threshold values are to be developed at Union level or at regional or sub-regional level. For the time being, threshold values have not been established for all criteria, but they are under development. An example would be the number of certain items of litter per square meter. For contaminants, the threshold value is the environmental quality standard set under the Water Framework Directive, as far as in place.
