“环境污染责任”的立法特点及配套机制之完善

On Legislative Features and Imperfection of the Related Mechanism of Environmental Pollution Liability

《侵权责任法》首次以章的框架系统规定了"环境污染责任",应将其视为环境侵权责任的一般立法地位。它不仅明确了无过错归责原则、因果关系举证责任倒置等重要问题,而且确立了环境自身遭受损害的民事责任救济制度。为落实环境污染责任的实效,应建立环境公益诉讼和环境损害责任保险等相关配套机制。

The Tort Liability Act firstly stipulates ＂environmental pollution liability＂ by chapter of the frame system,from which we should regard it as a general legislative position of the environment tort liability.It not only makes clear some important problems such as no-fault liability principle,inversion of causal relation burden of proof,but also establishes the civil liability relief system on environment itself sustained damage.For efficiently implementing the actual effect of environment pollution liability,the litigation of environmental public interest,the insurance of liability for environmental damage and other relative supporting system should be established in legistation.
