Environmental aspectsThe project falls under Annex II of Directive 85/337/EC, as amended, which leaves the requirement for an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) to be determined by the competent national authorities. In this case the Spanish authorities have required an EIA to be carried out. The outcome of the EIA procedure was favourable and the environmental authorisation was awarded in April 2009. Details of the environmental assessment procedures applied and any potential impact on sites of nature conservation will be reviewed during appraisal.
Neither the promoter nor the special purpose companies are subject to EU Procurement Directives.
