I move amendment No. 840:

In page 346, to delete lines 1 to 9 and substitute the following: “(13) Where the Minister comes to a conclusion under subsection (9) that—

(a) there is an absence of alternative solutions to the relevant plan,

(b) imperative reasons (which may include reasons of a social or economic nature) of overriding public interest exist for the making of the relevant plan, and

(c) the compensatory measures proposed are adequate to ensure the overall coherence of the Natura 2000 network,

the competent authority shall inform the European Commission of those compensatory measures.”.
