quantity applied for on 3 April 2000 is in excess of the

maximum quantity given in the Annex to that Regula-
tion for the month of April 2000; it is therefore neces-
sary to determine to what extent import licences may be

WRITTEN QUESTION E-1206/00

by Jannis Sakellariou (PSE) to the Commission

(14 April 2000)

Subject: Environmental Impact Assessment and Habitats Directives

In the Bavarian legal gazette, transposing the Environmental Impact Assessment Directive 85/337/EEC (1),
there is a (cid:145)Bavarian excavation act(cid:146), Article 8 of which permits excavations in national parks and nature
reserves.

1.
Is a provision permitting the extraction of minerals occurring near the surface in national parks and
nature reserves compatible with the Environmental Impact Assessment Directive or with the Habitats
Directive (92/43/EEC) (2)?

The Bavarian Minister of the Environment, in the document entitled (cid:145)Building in harmony with nature and
landscape: rules governing interventions in urban development planning(cid:146) (p. 13, plate 7 and lists II and III)
has permitted building on legally protected areas provided adequate compensatory measures are taken.

Is the destruction of natural and near-natural sections of rivers, and the building of houses on water-
2.
meadows, in long-standing brushwood and hedge country and in species-rich forests, compatible with the
Habitats Directive?
