Toutefois, selon la Commission, la convention étant, en partie, plus détaillée et son champ d'application plus large que ceux de la législation communautaire existante, ces dispositions ne permettent pas de garantir l'application pleine et entière des exigences de la convention d'Århus aux institutions et aux organes communautaires.
The Commission, however, took the view that these provisions are not sufficient in order to fully apply the requirements of the Aarhus Convention to the EC institutions and bodies, as the Convention is, in part, more detailed and its scope broader than existing EC law.
