<s>[INST] The next text is a question of a member of the European parliament:"A plant for the production of refuse-derived fuel in Gallicano (Lucca) was co-financed by the Structural Funds (Objective 5b), despite the fact that the environmental impact of such plants is very significant, particularly in the areain question which is of great natural and cultural importance. It is clear that setting up such plants, in an areawhere recycling and separate collection of waste is very low, does not fit within the Community policy on waste management.  In general, does the Commission assess only the compliance of projects with Community legislation or also with the relevant priorities as set out in Community policies?  How does the Commission make sure that Article 6 of the Treaty is properly implemented and environmental protection integrated into other EU policies on areal and regular basis?  Is the Commission aware that if co-financing is granted whenever there is formal compliance with the relevant environmental legislation, but despite this, the environmental impact of aproject is significant, this seriously aggravates environmental degradation?  Does the Commission agree that eligible projects must be selected not only for compliance with existing legislation but also on the basis of specific policy guidelines and anumber of other crucial aspects, not least whether it is appropriate to set up certain kinds of industrial plants in particular areas?"
