Central American Bank for Economic Integration
The proposed framework loan would support mainly projects that mitigate climate change, as such it is eligible under the Energy Sustainabiltiy Facility, and supports a leading EU priority.
The proposed framework loan will be used to finance renewable energy and energy efficiency projects with a positive contribution towards the environment and the fight against climate change.
The operation will support renewable energy projects that help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and mitigate climate change. The individual schemes to be financed are likely to be small and would be expected to have limited environmental impacts. In all cases where a formal EIA is required, a copy of the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) will be provided to the Bank for publication prior to the Bank’s approval of the allocation. The Borrower will be required to verify that none of the schemes submitted for part-financing by the Bank have a significant negative impact on any site of nature conservation importance. Standard safeguards and monitoring procedures will be put in place to ensure that project implementation is satisfactory and complies in particular with the environmental and social requirements of the Bank.
The Bank will review systems and procedures applied by the promoter during appraisal, including compliance with relevant national and EU legislation, as defined by Procurement Directive 2004/17/EC, and publication in the Official Journal of the EU where appropriate.
