                  Should Article 4 of Directive 2000/60/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 October 2000 establishing a framework for Community action in the field of water policy (1) be interpreted as permitting Member States, when authorising a programme or project, not to take into account their temporary, short-term impacts on surface water status which are without lasting consequences?
               
            
                  2.
               
               
                  If so, what conditions should those programmes and projects meet for the purposes of Article 4 of that directive and in particular paragraphs 6 and 7 thereof?
