Operative part of the order
|
1. |
Article 4(3) of Directive 2011/92/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 December 2011 on the assessment of the effects of certain public and private projects on the environment, as amended by Directive 2014/52/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 April 2014, read in conjunction with point 1(b) and point 3(g) of Annex III to Directive 2011/92, as amended, must be interpreted as precluding legislation of a Member State under which the obligation to examine a project’s potential impact jointly with other projects is limited to situations in which the planned installation and those other projects are linked by joint facilities. |
|
2. |
Directive 2011/92, as amended by Directive 2014/52, must be interpreted as not precluding legislation of a Member State which provides only for a case-by-case examination within the meaning of Article 4(2)(a) of Directive 2011/92, as amended, with regard to a project which, individually, falls below the threshold provided for in point 17(a) of Annex I to Directive 2011/92, as amended, but meets that threshold where it is considered jointly with other projects. In the context of that case-by-case examination, the fact that such a project meets that threshold where it is taken together with other projects may nevertheless be an indication that that project is likely to have significant effects on the environment, within the meaning of Article 2(1) of Directive 2011/92, as amended. |
