Environmental aspects

The project falls within the Annex II of the Directive 2011/92/EU on Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) for which the EIA is not mandatory. The competent authority-National Environmental Protection Agency (NEPA)-has issued an environment agreement on 25.05.2009. One of the sections of the project, the existing bridge across the Olt River, is located inside the Natura 2000. The Ministry of Environment – competent Authority for the Natura 2000 - issued a confirmation (Form A, 03.10.2008) stating that the project is unlikely to have any significant impact on existing protected areas. Further aspects are to be assessed during appraisal.

Procurement

The promoter is a publicly owned company subject to the provisions of the public procurement Directive 2004/18/EC, as transposed into Romanian law. Procurement commenced in December 2010 with relevant announcements being published in Romania and transmitted for publication in the EU Official Journal. The tender procedure and award of contracts will be reviewed during appraisal.
