APEL O ZAJĘCIE STANOWISKA W SPRAWIE ZDROWIA OBYWATELI I OBYWATELEK

A coalition of organisations, including ClientEarth and the European Consumer Organisation, calls for the adoption of an effective right to compensation within Article 79a of the EU Industrial Emissions Directive. The appeal argues that current legal frameworks leave victims of illegal industrial pollution without real opportunities for redress, despite the significant health and economic costs of such pollution. The proposed solution includes minimum guarantees such as liability for illegally operating industry and authorities, class actions, and information disclosure tools. The authors contend that this would harmonise inconsistent national laws, uphold fundamental human rights, and encourage legal compliance, potentially saving the EU economy 55 billion euros annually.

• Industrial pollution caused health and environmental damages valued between 277 and 433 billion EUR in 2017.
• Victims of illegal industrial activity or public inaction currently lack practical means to seek judicial redress or obtain compensation from those who broke the law.
• The proposed right to compensation in the Industrial Emissions Directive should include minimum guarantees such as liability for illegally acting industry and authorities, class actions, and information disclosure tools for national courts.
• Compliance with EU law regarding industrial emissions could save the EU economy 55 billion euros per year.
• Rights to compensation for health damages already exist in some member states, such as Finland, Germany, and France, and the proposed EU-level harmonisation would resolve current legal inconsistencies.
