Where the two differ, the German text decides:
German Environmental Damage Act (USchadG) A-10.1 Co-insured are public law duties or claims for the remediation of environmental damage under the German Environmental Damage Act (USchadG), so far as, while the insurance contract was in force, the emissions causing the damage entered the environment suddenly, accidentally and contrary to their intended purpose, or the other causation of damage occurred suddenly, accidentally and contrary to intended purpose.
A-10.2 Even without such causation of damage, cover exists for environmental damage through the storage, use or other handling of or with third party products only where the environmental damage is attributable to a design, production or instruction defect in those products. There is, however, no cover where the defect could not have been recognised at the time the products were placed on the market according to the state of science and technology (development risk).
A-10.3 Environmental damage is harm to protected species and natural habitats, and/or harm to waters including groundwater, and/or harm to the soil.
