Environmental aspects
Since no capital investment in new infrastructure is foreseen the project makes it unlikely that an EIA would be required in accordance with EIA Directive 2011/92/EU. However, the Bank's services will verify during the appraisal whether an EIA might be required for any project component.
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.
