Abstract

Polluter pays principle is a fundamental principle within the structure of specific environmental liability. This is the foundation of the establishment of pollution taxes and other charges imposed by the State in order to protect the environment. In this article we analyze a possible definition of this principle, looking into the compared law, to see how legislation is perceived by various community legislation and we will review the implementation of this principle by concrete means, including pollution tax imposed to second-hand vehicles, in terms of current legislation, ECJ decisions and adopted legislation, which will take effect in 2013.

Keywords: polluter, environment, pollution tax, principle
