Abstract
In 2004, following formal complaints (2003/5272 & 2004/4112) to the European
Commission, the UK government became exposed to a very serious risk of infraction
for alleged breaches of Articles 2 and 6 of the Habitats Directive. At that time
government stated that ‘appropriate regulatory action under Article 6.2 of the
Habitats Directive has been undertaken in an attempt to prevent deterioration
of the Modiolus reefs’ and undertook ‘to comply with obligation in Article 2.2 of
the directive to restore the Modiolus reefs to favourable conservation status.’
