I move amendment No. 35:

In page 47, between lines 29 and 30, to insert the following:“(2) Section 34 of the Principal Act is amended by inserting the following subsection after subsection (2):

“(2A) A planning authority shall, unless a derogation from the provisions of the Water Framework Directive has been granted, refuse permission for any project which may cause a deterioration of the status of a body of surface water or where it jeopardises the attainment of good surface water status or of good ecological potential and good surface water chemical status by the date laid down by the Water Framework Directive.”.”.
