3 A Business Guide to the European Union Environmental Liability Directive The Environmental Liability Directive (2004/35/EC) is a legislative act of the European Union creating new and significant potential liabilities for costs, damages and losses for operators and companies regulated by the ELD. All EU members have now adopted the ELD into their national laws, making compliance unavoidable for companies operating in EU member states, regardless of where they are headquartered. Remediation Costs Can Be Severe Environmental fines and litigation costs can be considerable, including time and resources. Information on ELD costs are gathered on an ad-hoc basis because Europe currently does not have a central database to track ELD loss and damage. However, while it s still too early to confirm, the costs associated with Natural Resource Damage claims in the U.S. are expected to increase significantly. It is critical to have a professionally designed risk prevention and mitigation program in order to protect a company s brand. The Importance of Insurance Financial security plays an important role in the ELD. Currently, eight EU member states have committed to imposing mandatory financial requirements on operators, and more member states are expected to join. In these member states, insurance among other instruments is accepted as financial security. In some member states, the adoption of the ELD is backdated to April 30, 2007, and this should operate as the assumed date for the purpose of insurance retroactive dates for all member states. The High Costs of Environmental Damage A recent investigation by the French government examined two incidents. When they occurred in 1996 and 1997, the cost of the environmental clean-up was approximately $67,000 and $16,000 USD respectively. If those incidents occurred today, under the ELD, it is estimated that the costs would be $636,000 and $6.4 million USD.¹ 3
4 Strict Liability for Annex III The ELD affects all organizations with any operations in EU member states and European Economic Area countries. However, only those operations and operators described in Annex III of the ELD are under strict liability and will feel the full force of all of the liabilities, costs, damages and losses under the ELD. All others have fault-based liability. Annex III includes All operations licensed under the EU Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control Directive (2008/1/ EC) Waste and waste management Mining, quarries and extractive industries Operations with consents to discharge to water Transport of hazardous materials The Polluter Pays The ELD supports the regulatory principle of the polluter pays. Annex III operators and operations must meet the legislative mandates of the ELD to prevent and mitigate the consequences of pollution and environmental damage that may result from their activities. Operations that intentionally or negligently cause biodiversity damage must remedy that damage in addition to any other environmental liability If biodiversity damage cannot be fully remedied, those liable must pay for compensatory measures Firms operating under specific EU environmental directives are strictly liable for a range of damage to water, land and biodiversity All operators must take practical steps to immediately prevent any environmental damage where there is an imminent threat Furthermore, Directors and Officers, including non-executive directors, may be personally liable, in addition to their companies, for non-compliance with the legislation and for failing to take appropriate action. 4 Bridging the Gap in Corporate Environmental Programs
5 Required Remediation The ELD includes prescribed losses and damages related to restoring damaged environments. Specifically, the process of restoring environmental damage can involve all of the following: Primary Remediation is any remedial measure which returns the damaged natural resources and/or impaired services to, or toward, baseline condition. Complementary Remediation is any remedial measures required to compensate where primary remediation fails to fully restore damaged natural resources and/or services. Interim Losses Losses which result from the inability of damaged natural resources and/or services to perform their ecological functions, provide services to other natural resources, or provide services to the public until the primary or complementary measures have taken effect. These do not include any financial compensation to members of the public. Compensatory Remediation is any action taken to compensate for interim loss of natural resources and/or services that occur from the date of damage until primary remediation has achieved its full effect. Contractors Pollution Liability Contractors are exposed and subject to the same duty as other operators to prevent damage to the environment. In some cases contractors are potentially strictly liable, and this applies especially to those working next to waterways or other sensitive environments. Examples include surface drainage and run-off from an on-site fire, as well as the increase of existing pollution where remediating or regenerating brownfield land. Construction works can also cause non-pollution damage where, for example, actions to control groundwater levels lead to the drainage of adjacent wetlands. 5
6 Next Steps for Companies Companies should consider the following options for developing an effective risk management program for the ELD which requires a high level of commitment and expertise. Limited or Comprehensive Some companies focus on discreet locations and individual facilities. Others adopt a portfolio approach including Europe as well as the rest of the world. Determine Liability Limits These amounts should be based on technical risk assessments as well as local or country requirements. Understand the Regulations ELD implementation can vary widely according to a country s insurance laws and locally acceptable certification and, documentation processes must be considered. Integrate with other programs ELD coverage should be a fully integrated part of a company s risk management and insurance program in order to avoid coverage gaps or an overlap in programs. ELD Coverage Gap Gaps in coverage for the ELD usually involve environmental damages caused by: Remediation process Gradual events Events other than pollution, such as fire Are General Insurance Programs Enough for the ELD? Unless a specific environmental program is designed and implemented with intended coverage for environmental damage and written to respond to the national law in the country of risk, the answer is typically No. Even companies with existing programs or standard pollution insurance might not be covered for the liabilities stipulated under the ELD. According to a recent International Underwriting Association report entitled Environmental Risks: insured or not?, The gap between traditional insurance cover and the range of environmental liability has become uncomfortably wide and will get wider. In addition, different member states can have different requirements for compliance, including compulsory financial security. 6 Bridging the Gap in Corporate Environmental Programs
