Liability for Dangerous Industrial Activities and Damage to the Environment Where Do We Stand After the Council of Europe Convention and the Commission Green Paper ... 

A strict liability regime has also been adopted by several international legal instruments, namely in the Council of Europe Convention (see 31.3.2.2), the UNIDROIT Convention (31.3.1.3) and the EC Directive for defective products (31.3.1.1). Such a regime is proposed to be adopted in the waste liability directive proposal (31.3.1.2) and in the draft HNS Convention (31.3.1.4). Also, the Commission Green Paper (31.3.3) clearly favors strict liability as a basis for liability on environmental damage. 

In market economies, natural gas imports are the responsibility of business enterprises, and the state has no particular role to play therein. In the European Commission Green Paper A European Strategy for Sustainable, Competitive and Secure Energy (EC, 2006, Part 3), it is suggested that the EU should improve the conditions for European companies seeking access to global resources . It is not clear what this implies in practice, for example, what the limits of a European energy company are, and how this state support to the business companies would work without discrimination. An efficient policy would be to create conditions conducive to business deals for the private sector, but to refrain from interventionist action.
