This European Union Environmental Liability Directive Practice Exchange website was developed in 2009 by the Ad-Hoc Industry Natural Resource Damage Group, in cooperation with EU Government Authorities and others, in order to facilitate communication among diverse practitioners working on the ELD and related legal, scientific and economic practice issues. The ELD, which has been implemented in all 27 Member States, imposes liability for 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 currently excludes oil spills in marine waters. This website is intended to serve as a focal point for exchanging information on a variety of ELD-related practice issues, activities and meetings.
Note: A similar website related to natural resource damages and associated issues under US laws can be found at www.nrdarpracticeexchange.com
