Transport

Proposed EIB finance (Approximate amount)

EUR 1 250 million.

Total cost (Approximate amount)

EUR 2 500 million.

Environmental aspects

Both sections of the project fall under Annex I of EIA Directive 85/337/EEC, as amended by Directives 97/11/EC and 2003/35/EC. Hence, an EIA is mandatory for both the proposed motorway investments. The concerned motorway sections are known to cross or be in the vicinity of at least five Natura 2000 sites and there are potentially other protected areas that may be impacted. The provisions of the Habitats Directive will therefore apply. During appraisal, the Bank will review the EIA process adopted to date, in particular the history of the analysis of alignment alternatives and the public consultations carried out, to confirm that it complies with applicable domestic legislation, the EU Directives (including Habitats and Birds Directives) and any relevant international conventions to which Poland is party.

Procurement

The construction works and associated supervision are to be procured through restricted tender after international advertisement. Advertisements in the OJEU have already been placed for many of the lots and the remainder are expected to be advertised in the coming months. All procurement is expected to be complete by early 2010. During appraisal, the Bank shall review the arrangements.

Status
