We study a flux lattice which is parallel to superconducting layers,
allowing for dislocations and for disorder of both short wavelength
and long wavelength. We find that the long-wavelength disorder of
strength 
has a significant effect on the phase
diagram —it produces a first-order transition within the Bragg glass
phase and leads to melting at strong . This then
allows a Friedel scenario of 2D superconductivity.
