Question referred

Does a Member State exceed the limits of its discretion under Article 3(4) and (5) of Directive 2001/42 (1) if, in respect of a municipality’s development plans which determine the use of small areas at local level and set the framework for future development consent of projects but do not fall within the scope of Article 3(2) of Directive 2001/42, it determines — having regard to the relevant criteria of Annex II to the directive — by specifying a particular type of development plan which is characterised by a threshold based on surface area and by a qualitative condition, that when drawing up such a development plan the procedural provisions on environmental assessment otherwise applicable to development plans are to be waived and also provides that an infringement of those procedural provisions which stems from the fact that the municipality has incorrectly assessed the qualitative condition is irrelevant for the legal validity of a development plan of that particular type?

Pleas in law and main arguments

In support of the action, the applicant relies on five pleas in law.






1.


First plea in law, alleging breach of the principle of hierarchy of norms






—


The applicant submits that the contested regulation is contrary to the provisions of Article 113(2)(a) of the Council Regulation of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (Single CMO Regulation) (1).














2.


Second plea in law, alleging a misuse of powers






—


It is alleged in this regard that the Commission, by adopting the contested measure, acted with the main purpose of achieving an end other than that stated, since it departed from the applicable standard adopted by the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UN/ECE).














3.


Third plea in law, alleging infringement of the duty to state reasons






—


It is alleged in this regard that the contested measure has unclear reasoning, which justifies a decision contrary to that finally adopted.














4.


Fourth plea in law, alleging breach of the principle of equal treatment






—


It is alleged in this regard that the contested measure makes the marketing of citrus fruit subject to conditions that are more stringent than for other fruit and vegetables, without justification.














5.


Fifth plea in law, alleging breach of the principle of proportionality






—


It is alleged in this regard that the contested measure imposes a more stringent labelling condition on the basis of flawed reasoning that cannot justify the decision finally adopted.
