Abstract: The aim of this article is to analyse the possible consequences of the oil slick caused by the Prestige based on the lessons which can be learnt from past experiences in Galicia (Spain), and to stress the need to implement administrative and legal changes, within the European Union (EU) legal framework to allow for the inclusion of total environmental damages under IOPC Funds 1992. This paper concludes that the recent catastrophe of the Prestige, affecting an area already hit by previous oil spills, should encourage governments to set up initiatives designed to prevent similar incidents from reoccurring in the future.
