| (6) | On 17 March 2017, the Compliance Committee submitted its findings to the Union in case ACCC/C/2008/32 regarding access to justice at Union level. In paragraph 123 of its findings, the Compliance Committee held that ‘the Party concerned fails to comply with Article 9, paragraphs 3 and 4, of the Convention with regard to access to justice by members of the public because neither the Aarhus Regulation, nor the jurisprudence of the CJEU implements or complies with the obligations arising under those paragraphs.’. |

| (7) | The Aarhus Convention bodies have been made aware, by the Declaration that the Union made upon signature and which was reiterated upon approval of the Aarhus Convention, that ‘[w]ithin the institutional and legal context of the Community [...] the Community institutions will apply the Convention within the framework of their existing and future rules on access to documents and other relevant rules of Community law in the field covered by the Convention.’. |

| (8) | The administrative review procedure under Regulation (EC) No 1367/2006 complements the overall Union system of judicial review that enables members of the public to have administrative acts reviewed via direct judicial challenges at Union level, namely under the fourth paragraph of Article 263 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU), and, in accordance with Article 267 TFEU, through requests for a preliminary ruling made by national courts, which form an integral part of the Union system under the Treaties. The power of national courts to make a request to the Court of Justice of the European Union for a preliminary ruling under Article 267 TFEU plays an essential role in that system. Under Article 267 TFEU, Member States’ national courts are an integral part of the system of judicial protection of the Union as ordinary courts of Union law (4). |

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

The position to be taken on the Union’s behalf in the seventh session of the Meeting of the Parties to the Aarhus Convention (‘the Meeting of the Parties’) with regard to decision VII/8f concerning compliance by the Union with its obligations under the Aarhus Convention (‘decision VII/8f’) as regards case ACCC/C/2008/32 shall be to accept decision VII/8f and to endorse the findings and recommendations of the Compliance Committee. The Union, however, shall ensure that the following points are reflected in that decision:

| — | decision VII/8f shall welcome that the Union has taken all necessary steps to ensure compliance with the findings of the Compliance Committee, and |
| --- | --- |

—

decision VII/8f shall welcome that the Union has taken all necessary steps to ensure compliance with the findings of the Compliance Committee, and

| --- | --- |

—

decision VII/8f shall confirm that the Union will have fully met the recommendations of the Compliance Committee with regard to case ACCC/C/2008/32 once the amendment of Regulation (EC) No 1367/2006 has come into force.

In the statement on decision VII/8f as regards case ACCC/C/2008/32, the Union shall emphasise the central role of the Union’s national courts as ordinary courts of Union law and the system of preliminary ruling under Article 267 TFEU as a valid means of redress.

Article 2

1.   The position to be taken on the Union’s behalf in the seventh session of the Meeting of the Parties with regard to decision VII/8f as regards case ACCC/C/2015/128, shall be to not endorse the findings of the Compliance Committee, but instead to acknowledge the concerns and findings of the Compliance Committee and to propose to postpone the adoption of the position on the findings in that case to the next session of the Meeting of the Parties.

2.   With a view to justifying the request for such a postponement and proving its readiness to follow-up without delay to the findings of the Compliance Committee in case ACCC/C/2015/128, the Union shall declare that in the context of the legislative procedure concerning the amendment of Regulation (EC) No 1367/2006, the Commission made a statement by which:

—

it committed to come forward, if appropriate, by the end of 2023, with measures to address the issue, in light of the obligations of the Union and its Member States under the Aarhus Convention and taking into account the rules of Union law concerning State aid.

The Commission’s statement shall be made available to the other Parties to the Aarhus Convention and the Compliance Committee ahead of the seventh session of the Meeting of the Parties.

3.   In the event the other Parties to the Aarhus Convention do not accept the position taken on behalf of the Union in case ACCC/C/2015/128 referred to in paragraph 1 of this Article, the position to be taken on the Union’s behalf in the seventh session of the Meeting of the Parties with regard to decision VII/8f as regards case ACCC/C/2015/128 shall, instead, be to decide separately on the part of decision VII/8f which concerns ACCC/C/2015/128 and to reject the adoption of that part of decision VII/8f with the aim of postponing the decision-making on those findings of the Compliance Committee until the next session of the Meeting of the Parties.

4.   If, despite intensive consultations with the Bureau of the Aarhus Convention and the other Parties to the Aarhus Convention, it is not possible to decide separately on the part of decision VII/8f which concerns case ACCC/C/2015/128 and to postpone decision-making on that case, while endorsing those parts of decision VII/8f which concern cases ACCC/C/2008/32, ACCC/C/2013/96, ACCC/C/2014/121 and ACCC/C/2010/54, and the Union comes to the conclusion, in on-the-spot coordination, that all means to that effect have been exhausted, the position to be taken on the Union’s behalf in the seventh session of the Meeting of the Parties with regard to decision VII/8f as regards case ACCC/C/2015/128 shall, as a last resort, be to postpone the adoption of decision VII/8f in its entirety to the next session of the Meeting of the Parties.

Article 4

Minor changes to the positions referred to in Articles 1, 2 and 3 may be agreed by the representatives of the Union, in consultation with Member States, at coordination on the spot and in light of possible negotiations on decision VII/8f at the seventh session of the Meeting of the Parties, without a further decision of the Council.

Article 5

This Decision shall enter into force on the date of its adoption.

Done at Luxembourg, 11 October 2021.

For the Council

The President
