Download or read book Civil liability for damage caused by waste written by Boris Meissner and published by Duncker & Humblot. This book was released on 2021 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The subject of this book is the »Proposal for a Council Directive on Civil Liability for Damage Caused by Waste« which was first presented by the Commission of the European Communities in 1989, then amended in 1991, and which remains under consideration by the Council to this day.The book attempts to look at the Proposal from a comparative point of view, asking what impact the Directive, if implemented as drafted, would have on the law of different Member States of the EC. For this purpose, England (as part of the U. K.) and Germany have been taken as examples. A detailed and comparative outline of the English and German law related to civil liability for waste precedes the examination of the proposed Directive. In this way, the book also contributes to the discussion triggered by the Commission's »Green Paper on Remedying Environmental Damage« of 1993. To the main text of the book, which is written in English, an extensive German summary has been added.Gegenstand dieses Buches ist der von der Kommission der Europäischen Gemeinschaften (jetzt: der Europäischen Union)im Jahre 1989 vorgelegte »Vorschlag für eine Richtlinie des Rates über die zivilrechtliche Haftung für die durch Abfälle verursachten Schäden«, der im Jahre 1991 mit wesentlichen Änderungen versehen wurde und dem Rat nach wie vor zur Prüfung vorliegt.Das Buch beleuchtet den Richtlinienvorschlag rechtsvergleichend, d. h. unter der Fragestellung, wie sich die Richtlinie auf die Rechtslage in verschiedenen Mitgliedsstaaten der EU auswirken würde, wenn sie in ihrer derzeitigen Fassung in Kraft träte. Als Beispiele dienen England (als Teil des Vereinigten Königreiches) und Deutschland. Eine detaillierte und rechtsvergleichende Darstellung des englischen und deutschen Rechts in bezug auf die zivilrechtliche Haftung für Abfälle ist daher der Untersuchung des Richtlinienvorschlages vorangestellt. Auf diese Weise leistet das Buch auch einen Beitrag zu der Diskussion, die das im Jahre 1993 von der Europäischen Kommission vorgelegte »Grünbuch über die Sanierung von Umweltschäden« ausgelöst hat. Dem in englischer Sprache verfaßten Haupttext wurde eine ausführliche deutsche Zusammenfassung beigegeben.

Download or read book The EU Environmental Liability Directive written by Lucas Bergkamp and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2013-03-14 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Similar to the United States (US) Natural Resource Damage (NRD) program, defined under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA or "Superfund") and the Oil Pollution Act (OPA), the European Union's (EU) Environmental Liability Directive (ELD)imposes liability for, and requires remediation of, significant damage to natural habitats and species protected at Community and national levels, surface and ground waters covered by the Water Framework Directive, and land.The ELD was first published in 2004 and has since been transposed into the national laws of all EU Member States. However there is little guidance available to authorities and industry in interpreting and applying the ELD and meeting its prevention and restoration objectives. This volume is the first to describe the EU's ELD and to examine the emerging issues and practices in its application. While there are differences between the US and EU regimes, some of the underlying concepts, approaches and definitions embedded in NRD are also mirrored in the text of the ELD. The book includes a comparison of similarities and differences as well as synergies in practice; hence, this book will be of interest to both US and European readers. The ELD imposes liability for significant damage to natural habitats and species protected at Community and national levels, surface and ground waters covered by the Water Framework Directive, and land. Prior to the ELD's adoption many Member States had programs in place for the restoration of soil and groundwater contamination, but none had a regime for addressing harm to unowned natural resources. This volume presents a comprehensive legal commentary on the legal issues arising under the ELD, as well as an overview of administrative, technical, and legal issues and practices in applying the ELD regimes to cases of actual or threatened environmental damage. In doing so, it discusses both substantive issues and important procedural and process-related issues. Several case studies are presented to illustrate the issues and practical solutions. In addition, emerging best practices relating to practical ELD application are identified and presented. Identifying and discussing a wide range of emerging administrative, technical, and economic practice issues arising under member state legislation transposing and implementing the ELD, this book will be a valuable resource for all those whose work is affected by the ELD.

Download or read book Environmental Damage and Liability Problems in a Multilevel Context written by Sandra Cassotta and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2012-03-23 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a growing interest at different decision-making levels (EU, international and national) in using liability as an element in solving the legal problems of environmental harm. The interest is founded on the necessity to take into account of complex inter-dependencies and interrelationships between the environmental media at global, regional and national levels. In an effort to implement the aims of sustainable development, new views of the traditional liability instrument have to be applied. The book focuses on the Environmental Liability Directive 2004/35/EC (the so-called “ELD”) on the prevention and remedying of environmental damage, and evaluates as to whether the ELD has achieved its goals and maintained its ambitions in terms of environmental protection, and what the optimal level of harmonization in terms of environmental protection is. In order to address the question of research of this book, an interdisciplinary framework of analysis and methodology combining political science and law are developed. Since environmental damage is a multidimensional and multidisciplinary problem, par excellence, a multidisciplinary approach is required. Consequently, the use of a multidisciplinary method, combining together in a systematic and rigorous fashion, law, political science, technical elements of economy, insurance law and natural science, is, in the research design of this study, necessary, in a view of tackling the topic in a scientific problem solving-oriented approach. The book draws the overall conclusions by suggesting proposals for amendments and recommendations to be utilized for possible redrafting of the ELD’s provisions for the time when the ELD will be object of a procedure of revision. This book will be of interest to practitioners in EU law and EU Environmental law, international environmental law, legal experts on the law of environmental liability, specialists within international organizations but also by political scientists, economists, insurance law specialists, and natural scientists.
Download or read book Liability for Damage to Public Natural Resources Standing Damage and Damage Assessment written by Edward Brans and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2001-10-17 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on liability for damage to those natural resources that are of interest to the public and are protected by national, European or international law. It provides an overview of the law of the United States and of certain EU Member States on the recovery of damages for injury to natural resources. The international civil liability conventions that cover environmental harm and the recently published European Commission's White Paper on environmental liability are also discussed. The on-going development in various international forums of treaties or protocols dealing with liability for environmental damage are analyzed, as are the principles developed by the UNEP Working Group established in response to the 1990 Gulf War to advise the UNCC on claims for damage to natural resources. The book addresses assessment and valuation issues, the issue of standing in cases of injury to (un)owned natural resources, and the determination of ways to repair, restore and compensate for natural resource injuries and the associated loss of ecological and human services. It also explains why such a difference exists between the US and most European jurisdictions and inter-national liability conventions as to the recovery of damages for injury to natural resources.

Download or read book Transboundary Environmental Interference and the Origin of State Liability written by Lefeber and published by Martinus Nijhoff Publishers. This book was released on 2023-09-14 with total page 379 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On-going deterioration of the state of the environment and the continuous risk of an environmental disaster has forced society to reconsider its environmental and developmental objectives. For economic and environmental reasons, the costs of prevention and reparation of environmental harm should be channelled to the polluter. However, such channelling may run counter to legal principles. This work scrutinizes this field of tension between economic and legal principles at state level. It provides a unique analysis of traditional thinking on state liability for transboundary harm and the theories which have challenged it since the proliferation of hazardous activities in the 1960s. The author favours a return to traditional thinking, but has an eye for the theories that challenged it with the aim of safeguarding the compensation of victims of transboundary harm.
