(4)The impacts of a new derogation and the new Nitrate Action Programme are also to be assessed in the context of Directive 92/43/EEC. In this regard, the judgment of the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) in case C-293/17note, providing interpretation of Article 6(3) of that Directive, requires that projects involving the application of fertilisers on land and the grazing of cattle are subject to an appropriate assessment of its implications on the sites concerned, unless objective circumstances make it possible to rule out with certainty any possibility that those projects, individually or in combination with other projects, may significantly affect those sites.
