Sentencia del Tribunal de Justicia de la Unión Europea, de 6 julio de 2023 (cuestión prejudicial de interpretación) sobre la Directiva 92/43, de conservación de los hábitats naturales y de la fauna y flora silvestres (arts. 12 y 16).

The Court of Justice of the European Union issued a judgment on July 6, 2023, regarding the interpretation of Directive 92/43, which deals with the conservation of natural habitats and wild fauna and flora. The case originated from the authorization of a project by the Irish Planning Authority, and the Court of Justice determined that Irish legislation was not incompatible with European law. Furthermore, it was established that the procedural integration provided for in the 2011 Environmental Impact Assessment Directive has limited scope and that the authorization of the exceptional procedure must precede the environmental impact assessment.
