The following is a definition of E.U. Environmental Liability Directive 2004/35, produced by Tetley, in the context of admiralty law: Directive 2004/35 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 April 2004 on environmental liability with regard to the prevention and remedying of environmental damage, [2004] OJ L143/56, in force April 21, 2004. All Member States of the European Union (see this maritime law term in this legal dictionary) must bring their laws, regulations and administrative provisions into compliance with the Directive by April 30, 2007. The Directive provides a regime for the prevention and remeding of environmental damage, at the expense of the polluter, which will cover pollution caused by hazardous and noxious substances and by bunker oil from ships in the E.U., until the HNS Convention 1996 (see this maritime law term in this legal dictionary) and the Bunker Pollution Convention 2001 (see this maritime law term in this legal dictionary) come into force for E.U. countries. See Malgorzata A. Nesterowicz, “The application of the Environmental Liability Directive to damage caused by pollution from ships” [2007] LMCLQ 107-113.
