I refer to a decision that was taken that the term "project", while not defined in the habitats directive, asserts that the European Court of Justice has indicated that the term is to be given a broad interpretation. It may be surmised that most of the large abstractions can be viewed as projects for the purposes of the directive. The Bill as drafted does not give due regard to the obligations under the habitats and birds directives.
