Liability Directive – a Useful Tool for Nature Protection?

Three years ago the Directive 2004/35/EC on environmental liability with regard to the prevention and remedying of environmental damage entered into force. Dividing environmental damage into three different categories (biodiversity, water and soil), the Directive’s concept is based on a mixed liability system following the US-American
example while stressing the polluter-pays-principle.

Member States have to incorporate the Directive’s provisions into national law by 30 April 2007. Yet the efficiency of the measures is still doubtful. The following article illustrates the Directive’s provisions and highlights its problems, particularly those resulting from  exemptions, concluding that further instruments are necessary in order to achieve comprehensive nature protection.

Die innerstaatliche Umsetzung des Pariser Klimaschutzübereinkommens - ein Rechtsvergleich
© Lexxion Verlagsgesellschaft mbH (8/2024)
Like all public international law treaties, the Paris Climate Accords rely on national law for their implementation. The success of the agreement therefore depends, to a large extent, on the stepstaken or not taken by national governments and legislators as well as on the instruments and mechanisms chosen for this task. Against this background, the present article compares different approaches to the implementation of the Paris Agreement, using court decisions as a means to assess their (legal) effectiveness.
