Re:
REFERENCE for a preliminary ruling — Juzgado de lo Contencioso-Administrativo de Madrid — Interpretation of Council Directive 85/337/EEC of 27 June 1985 on the assessment of the effects of certain public and private projects on the environment (OJ 1985 L 175, p. 40) — Urban road projects in densely populated areas or concerning landscapes of historical, cultural or archaeological significance — Whether subject to an assessment procedure having regard to their nature, size and effect — Applicability of the criteria in the judgment of the Court in Case C-332/04 Commission v Spain
Operative part of the judgment
Council Directive 85/337/EEC of 27 June 1985 on the assessment of the effects of certain public and private projects on the environment, as amended by Council Directive 97/11/EC of 3 March 1997, must be interpreted as meaning that it provides for environmental impact assessment of refurbishment and improvement projects for urban roads, either where they are projects covered by point 7(b) or (c) of Annex I to the directive, or where they are projects covered by point 10(e) of Annex II or the first indent of point 13 thereof, which are likely, by virtue of their nature, size or location and, if appropriate, having regard to their interaction with other projects, to have significant effects on the environment.
