Abstract

Within the European Union, the Rome II Regulation determines the applicable law on cross-border matters of non-contractual nature. The paper examines the applicable law on environmental-related tort claims against European multi-national companies utilizing production facilities in third countries, either based on active misconduct or on alleged omission of environment-related due diligence. As these types of claims are an expression of misconduct by multinational corporations conducting business abroad, particular notice will be given to the applicable law on compensation claims for environmental damages allegedly caused by negligent compliance for environmental standards of either independent or subsidiary production facilities. While doing so, its main point of interest will be whether claims against European-based companies may be governed by the law of the effective seat of the latter. Considering that Article 7 Rome II provides for a special connecting factor regarding environmental damages, the paper examines whether Rome II does justice for due diligence-related cases on the conflict of laws level and argues for a nuanced approach to localize the place of the event giving rise to such damages.

《罗马II》下的尽职调查和环境损害
在欧洲联盟内部,《罗马II条例》确定了非契约性跨境事项的适用法律。本文考察了针对在第三国使用生产设施的欧洲跨国公司的环境相关侵权索赔的适用法律,无论是基于主动不当行为还是基于涉嫌遗漏环境相关尽职调查。由于这些类型的索赔是跨国公司在国外开展业务的不当行为的表现,因此将特别注意对据称因疏忽遵守独立或附属生产设施的环境标准而造成的环境损害提出赔偿索赔的适用法律。在这样做的同时,它的主要兴趣点将是,针对欧洲公司的索赔是否可能受后者有效所在地的法律管辖。考虑到《罗马法》第7条规定了一个关于环境损害的特殊联系因素,本文从法律冲突的角度考察了《罗马法》第2条是否公正地处理了与尽职调查相关的案件,并主张采用一种细致入微的方法,将导致此类损害的事件地点本地化。国际私法,环境损害,民事赔偿,侵权,企业社会责任,罗马二,强制性规则,公共政策
