On 18 July the Committee adopted an opinion entitled Environmental liability with regard to the prevention and remedying of environmental damage (Rapporteur: Mrs Sánchez Miguel, Workers, Spain). In this document the EESC welcomes the objective system of environmental liability proposed by the Commission, which seeks to prevent damage and restore nature to its former state in accordance with the "polluter pays" principle.
Dans ce document, le CESE accueille favorablement le régime de responsabilité environnementale à caractère objectif proposé par la Commission, qui tente de prévenir les dommages et de rendre la nature à son état initial, conformément au principe du "pollueur-payeur".
