29As the Advocate General points out at point 28 of his Opinion, while it is established case-law that the scope of Directive 85/337 is wide and its purpose very broad (see, inter alia, Abraham and Others, paragraph 32, and Ecologistas en Acción-CODA, paragraph 28), a purposive interpretation of the directive cannot, in any event, disregard the clearly expressed intention of the legislature of the European Union.
