Compensation for ecological damage from marine oil pollution

This procedure focuses on establishing rules for compensating ecological damage caused by oil spills in marine environments. It aims to ensure that the environment is restored and that those responsible for pollution are held accountable for the harm caused to wildlife and coastal ecosystems.

This affects shipping companies, oil transporters, and national environmental authorities. It introduces stricter liability standards to ensure that the costs of cleaning up and repairing nature are covered by the polluter.
