    Questions referred

    Must paragraph 6.6(a) of Annex I to Directive 96/61/EC (1), which applies to installations for the intensive rearing of poultry with more than 40 000 places, be interpreted:

    1.

    as including within its scope quails, partridges and pigeons; and, if so,

    2.

    as authorising a mechanism for calculating authorisation thresholds on the basis of a system of ‘animal-equivalents’, which gives weighting to the number of animals per place according to species so that account may be taken of the amount of nitrogen actually excreted by the various species?


    (1)  Council Directive 96/61/EC of 24 September 1996 concerning integrated pollution prevention and control (OJ 1996 L 257, p. 26).
