Sector(s)
Proposed EIB finance (Approximate amount)
EUR 50 million
Total cost (Approximate amount)
EUR 103 million
Environmental aspects
If located in the EU, two of the investments would fall under Annex II of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Directive 2011/92/EU and therefore be subject to screening. In FBiH they fall under the EIA procedure stipulated by the Law on Environmental Protection of BiH. The promoter has already carried out the EIA studies for these schemes. Their content and compliance with the principles of the relevant EU directives on strategic environmental assessment (SEA), EIA and nature conservation will be verified during appraisal. All other investments fall outside of the scope of Annexes I and II of the EIA Directive; the compliance of this second group of investments with the principles of the relevant EU directives on SEA, EIA and nature conservation will also be verified during appraisal.
Procurement
The Bank will require the promoter to ensure that any procurement procedures related to the project are done in accordance with the Bank's Guide to Procurement and the relevant applicable EU public procurement rules.
