59Moreover, as the Advocate General observed in point 83 of his Opinion, the assessment of the impact of a derogation at the level of the territory of a local population is generally necessary in order to determine its impact on the conservation status of the population concerned on a larger scale. In so far as such a derogation must, in accordance with the observations set out in paragraph 41 of the present judgment, deal with specific requirements and specific situations, the most direct effects of such a derogation are generally felt in the local area to which it relates. Moreover, as can be seen from the documents before the Court, the conservation status of a population at national or biogeographical level depends also on the cumulative impact of the various derogations affecting local areas.
