European laws (Water Framework Directive, Waste, Industrial Emissions and Landfill Directives, REACH and CLP Regulations of chemicals) do not address all the soil threats in a comprehensive way and not all Member States have specific legislation on soil protection. Article 191(2) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU), Union policy on the environment aims at a high level of protection taking into account the diversity of situations in the various regions of the Union, and is based on the precautionary principle and on the principles that preventive action should be taken, that environmental damage should, as a priority, be rectified at source and that the polluter should pay.
