Environmental aspects
Semiconductor RDI activities are not specifically covered by Annexes I & II of the EU Directive 2011/92/EU, and therefore not subject to mandatory Environmental Impact Assessment. The proposed investments will take place mainly inside buildings at RDI facilities already being used for similar activities, and are not expected to have a significant environmental impact on the surroundings. Full environmental details will be assessed during appraisal.
Procurement
The promoter is a private company not operating in the Utilities sector not having the status of a contracting authority, and is thus not covered by EU Directives on procurement.
