Environmental Liability Directive (ELD) was adopted in 2004 and is implemented in MS since 1st May 2007. ELD is implemented by the competent authority at a national level (SYGAPEZ) and by the competent authority at a regional level (PEAPZ). A total number of about one hundred cases have been assessed under ELD framework by SYGAPEZ and PEAPZ. European Commission after 10 years of ELD implementation has adopted a non-binding work programme in order to support MS for the improvement of evidence base, for ELD implementation and for the promotion of the availability of financial security.
