87In order to establish an infringement of Article 6(2) of the Habitats Directive, it is not for the Commission to establish the existence of a cause-and-effect relationship between the action or inaction of the Member State concerned and a deterioration or significant disturbance caused to the habitats or species concerned. It is sufficient for the Commission to establish that there is a probability or risk that that action or inaction might cause deterioration or significant disturbance of those habitats or species (judgment of 24 June 2021, Commission v Spain (Deterioration of the Doñana natural area), C‑559/19, EU:C:2021:512, paragraph 155 and the case-law cited).
