This operation concerns a direct loan to the Brittany Region (France) for its contribution to the financing of the "LGV Bretagne-Pays de Loire (BPL)" PPP transaction signed on 28 July 2011.
Objectives
This is an inter-regional and European project, which aims to considerably improve services to Brittany and Pays de la Loire and enhance TEN-T in France.

The EIA procedure was conducted as part of the process leading to the Declaration of Public Interest (DUP), issued on 28 October 2007. The environmental aspects have been addressed in a manner satisfactory to the Bank.
