Abstract

In July 2020, the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) ruled that measures carried out by a public law association could potentially cause environmental damage under the Environmental Liability Directive (ELD) to a protected species of bird, even though the measures were part of the management of a site in accordance with the association’s statutory obligations. This article discusses the relationship between the ELD and the Nature Directives and also includes an examination of Naturschutzbund Deutschland and the background to the case.
