58It is apparent from Article 9(2) of the Aarhus Convention that that provision limits the discretion available to the Member States when determining the detailed rules for the legal actions which it envisages inasmuch as that provision has the objective of granting ‘wide access to justice’ to the public concerned, which includes environmental organisations meeting the conditions laid down in Article 2(5) of the convention (see, by analogy, in respect of Article 10a of Council Directive 85/337/EEC of 27 June 1985 on the assessment of the effects of certain public and private projects on the environment (OJ 1985 L 175, p. 40) as amended by Directive 2003/35/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 May 2003 (OJ 2003 L 156, p. 17) (‘Directive 85/337’), which reproduces Article 9(2) of the Aarhus Convention in almost identical terms, judgment of 16 April 2015, Gruber, C‑570/13, EU:C:2015:231, paragraph 39).
