Furthermore, the Court has repeatedly held that it is in the light of the conservation objectives that the scope of the obligation to carry out an appropriate assessment of the effects of a plan or a project on a protected site should be determined. (10) In other words, the decision as to whether the plan or project is likely to have significant impact on a Natura 2000 site should be taken in view of the site’s conservation objectives (see section 3.1 ‘Screening’). It is therefore essential that site-specific conservation objectives are set without delay for all Natura 2000 sites and that these are made publicly available.
