Besides an assessment in regard to the certain plans of the European Communities regulations, does that incorporate a consideration of the Birds Directive and the Habitats Directive? Usually the provisions of an environmental impact assessment will incorporate a wide scope of factors. I refer to the European Commission environmental assessment of certain plans and programmes regulations.Will it incorporate the birds and habitats directives and environmental impact assessments, including, for example, the impact in regard to climate? I may well be assured that this is provided for in another part of the section. If it does apply, that would be useful and would address some of my concerns.
