Environmental aspects

The project concerns investments in research, development and industrialisation that will be carried out in existing facilities which are already authorised and would therefore not require an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) under Annex II of the Directive 85/337/EC, amended by Directives 97/11/EC and 2003/35/EC.

Procurement

EU procurement directives do not apply to this private sector project. As seen in previous projects with the promoter, it is expected that procurement is in line with EIB guidelines for private sector projects.
