Some of the projects in the Fund’s pipeline would be considered to be Annex I or Annex II (screened in) of the EIA Directive 85/337/EC (as amended), thus requiring a full EIA, and some might have an impact on Natura 2000 sites, in which case the requirements of the Habitats Directive 1992/43/EC and Birds Directive 79/409/EEC will apply. The promoter’s capacity and procedures will be assessed to ensure compliance with national and European environmental and biodiversity regulations as well as its capacity to support the Bank's Public Disclosure Policy, which aims at facilitating access by the public to environmentally relevant information.
Procurement
The Fund’s investment guidelines will be required to ensure that procurement procedures applied by the underlying investments financed by the Fund are in line with the provisions of the EU Procurement Directives.
