53Lastly, it should be noted that rules such as those in point 3.4 of the Schedule established by Decree No 967 not only undermine the objective of Directive 2001/42 and, in particular, Article 3(2), (3) and (5) thereof which aims to not exempt any plan likely to have significant effects on the environment from the requirement of environmental assessment, but also do not in the least ensure that the competent authorities will take the criteria established in Annex II to Directive 2001/42 into account, as in fact is required by the second sentence of Article 3(5) of that directive in order to ensure that plans with likely significant effects on the environment are covered by it.
