Sector(s)
Proposed EIB finance (Approximate amount)
EUR 500 million
Total cost (Approximate amount)
EUR 1540 million
Environmental aspects
Investments in operational expenditures of research infrastructures do not fall under Annex I or II of the Directive 2011/92/EU. The proposed activities will take place mainly inside buildings at R&D facilities already being used for similar activities, and are not expected to have a significant environmental impact on the surroundings. The capital expenditures included in the programme relate mainly to equipment to be installed within the existing facilities already being used for similar activities, although expansions of sites or even constructions of new sites cannot be fully excluded at this stage. Full environmental details will be verified during the project’s appraisal.
Procurement
The Bank will require the Promoter to ensure that contracts for the implementation of the project have been/shall be tendered in accordance with the relevant applicable EU procurement legislation (Dir. 2004/18/EEC or 2004/17/EEC and Dir. 2007/66/EC), with publication of tender notices in the EU Official Journal, as and where appropriate.
