Abstract

The German Act on prevention and remedying of environmental damage of May 10, 2007 (Gesetz über die Vermeidung und Sanierung von Umweltschäden vom 10. Mai 2007, BGBl. I 19, 666, Umweltschadensgesetz-USchadG) implemented the Directive 2004/35/CE of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 April on environmental liability with regard to the prevention and remedying of environmental damage (OJ L 143/56, April 30, 2004). In Spain and as to July 2007, an implementation bill is being discussed in the Parliament (Bill 121/00130, OJ of the Parliament 130, March 23, 2007). This paper summarizes, comments and contrasts the Directive, the German Act and the Spanish Bill.
