A report on the implementation of the ”polluter pays” principle of the European Court of Auditors specifies that this principle is at the heart of the European Union’s environmental policy. The application of the principle is as follows: polluters must pay the costs associated with pollution, incl. the costs of pollution prevention, control and remediation. The idea being that polluters should be restricted from causing damage to the environment and if this happens - they should be held financially responsible for what they have caused. However, what are the benefits and what are the limitations of this principle and why is the problem of environmental pollution in ours hands - this is the responsibility of the judges, the polluters, but also the control authorities and politicians.
