<s>[INST] The next text is a question of a member of the European parliament:"The town of Wuppertal is planning a new commercial zone covering an overall area of 22hectares on a rural site called ‘Kleine Höhe’. The procedure for drawing up construction plans has not yet been concluded. ‘Kleine Höhe’ is a plateau containing the springs of six streams which run down from it. It is of great importance for the regional biotope network and for the recreation of local inhabitants.   1.EU Directive2000/60/EC(1) prohibits any measures which lead to the deterioration of surface water. However, the planned commercial zone would seriously affect the springs and the streams in the area. The ‘drainage study’ drawn by engineering consultants ReinhardBeck of Wuppertal in 2002 noted ‘that it is not possible to undertake a construction project without affecting the catchment area’. The Bergisch-Rheinische Wasserverband (water board) has stated that ‘the commercial zone would violate a large number of legal protection requirements concerning water management’. Does the Commission not agree that the planned commercial zone would violate Directive2000/60/EC?  2.The planned commercial zone would have a significant impact on the environment, in particular soil use, the biotope network, water management and the urban climate. Alternatives exist in the form of urban wasteland and unused building land in Wuppertal. The area development plan has so far failed to consider alternatives, or at least to pay them sufficient attention. Thus the Wuppertal authorities have ‘overlooked’ 50hectares of wasteland, although they had decided that they should be commercially used.
