85In that context, the fact that, in certain language versions, such as the Spanish, English, French or Portuguese versions, Article 2(1)(f) of Regulation No 1367/2006 refers to ‘legislation’ or ‘any legislative provision’ does not mean, contrary to the position taken by the EIB and the Commission, that the concept of ‘environmental law’ is, for the purposes of the application of that regulation, limited to legislative acts, within the meaning of Article 289(3) TFEU. As the Advocate General observed in point 118 of her Opinion, in other language versions, in particular the German language version, Article 2(1)(f) of Regulation No 1367/2006 uses the broader concept of ‘legal rules’, which may include any legally binding measure of general application.
