WRITTEN QUESTION E-0918/00 by Glyn Ford (PSE) to the Commission. Millennium Forum, Summit and Assembly in New York.
20. 2. 2001 EN Official Journal of the European Communities C 53 E/39 So far the Commission has only been informed about the existence of one non-priority butterfly species under Directive 92/43/EEC, without any proof by scientific literature, information about population size, importance of the area or compensation or mitigation measures which are already foreseen. According to this information, it is not possible to draw a conclusion on whether the area has to be proposed as a site of Community importance according to Directive 92/43/EEC. Nor can it be said at the moment whether the authorities have not respected Community legislation in this specific case. The conservation of the two butterfly species mentioned by the Honourable Member might be possible on parts of the golf course if they are maintained and managed for the conservation of their habitats and if the appropriate compensation or mitigation measures are applied. Given the information available so far, an infringement of Community legislation cannot be proved. The Honourable Member is invited to provide specific and detailed information on the site to enable the Commission to assess the case fully. (1) OJ L 206, 22. 7. 1992.
