(Reference for a preliminary ruling - Environment - Directive 2001/42/EC - Assessment of the effects of certain plans and programmes on the environment - Article 2(a) - Concept of ‘plans and programmes … which are required by legislative, regulatory or administrative provisions’ - Measure adopted by the government of a Member State solely on the basis of a provision of the Constitution of that Member State providing that the executive power of the State is to be exercised by or on the authority of that government)

Language of the case: English
Referring court
Supreme Court
Parties to the main proceedings
Applicant: Friends of the Irish Environment CLG
Defendants: Government of Ireland, Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government, Ireland, Attorney General
Operative part of the judgment
Article 2(a) of Directive 2001/42/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 June 2001 on the assessment of the effects of certain plans and programmes on the environment
must be interpreted as meaning that a measure adopted by the government of a Member State solely on the basis of a provision of the Constitution of that Member State providing that the executive power of the State is to be exercised by or on the authority of that government does not meet the condition of being ‘required by legislative, regulatory or administrative provisions’ and, consequently, cannot constitute a ‘plan’ or a ‘programme’ for the purposes of that Article 2(a).
