                  How is the term ‘breeding site’ within the meaning of Article [12(1)(d)] of the Habitats Directive (1) to be understood, and how is a ‘breeding site’ to be differentiated spatially from other locations?
               
            
                  2.
               
               
                  Which factors determine whether, and, if so, for how long, the existence of a breeding site is limited in time?
               
            
                  3.
               
               
                  Which factors determine whether deterioration or destruction of a breeding site has been caused by a particular act or omission?
               
            
                  4.
               
               
                  Which factors determine whether a ‘resting place’ within the meaning of Article [12(1)(d)] of the Habitats Directive has been caused to deteriorate or to be destroyed?
