The booklet is organised along the two main pieces of nature legislation and contains most important and up to date rulings - so that the reader can find all information relevant to particular paragraph or clauses in one place, together with the original text of the legislation. In addition, rulings are also provided as such to enable to see the broader context. It must be stressed, that this document is meant purely as a documentation and informative tool, it will need to evolve in line with any emerging jurisprudence on this subject and - as it is created as a compilation of existing documents - the Commission does not assume any liability for its contents. The presentation of the judgments reproduced in this booklet obviously does not commit the Court.
