by Christopher Huhne (ELDR) to the Commission

Subject: Planned construction of an Airbus plant on M(cid:252)hlenberger Loch

Is the Commission aware of plans by Airbus Industrie to build a new plant for Airbus manufacture

1.
on the site of M(cid:252)hlenberger Loch near Hamburg?

2. Will the Commission confirm that the M(cid:252)hlenberger Loch wetlands are classified as a Special
Protected Area under the Birds Directive, as a protected habitat under the Habitats Directive, and as
a wetland of international importance under the Ramsar Convention?

If so, does the Commission believe that the construction of such a plant would be in contravention

3.
of European law? If not, why not?

4. What assurances can the Commission provide that the M(cid:252)hlenberger Loch habitat and similar sites
will, in future, be protected under the Union(cid:146)s own directives?

5. What measures will it now take to ensure compliance with those directives?

Answer given by Mrs Wallstr(cid:246)m on behalf of the Commission

(1 June 2001)

The issue of the planned Airbus plant in a part of the Natura 2000 site M(cid:252)hlenberger Loch was already
addressed in detail by the Commission(cid:146)s answer to Written Question P-0839/01 by Mr Wijkman (1).

Furthermore it was discussed on 21 March 2001 in the European Parliament(cid:146)s Committee on the
Environment, Public Health and Consumer Policy.

The Honourable Member is kindly invited to take note of the respective answer and the minutes of the
Commission meeting as far as questions 1, 3, 4 and 5 are concerned.

With regards to question 2, the Commission confirms that the site in question is a Ramsar site (two duck
species not threatened on European level meet the Ramsar criteria) and a Natura 2000 site under Council
Directive 79/409/EEC of 2 April 1979 on the conservation of wild birds (2) and Council Directive 92/43/
EEC of 21 May 1992 on the conservation of natural habitats and of wild fauna and flora (3).
