Environmental aspects
All schemes should have an overall positive impact on the environment in the urban areas. However, some of the schemes may fall under Annex II of the 2011/92/EU Directive and thus might be subject to an environmental assessment. Should any such scheme have a negative impact on an area forming part of the Natura 2000 network (falling under the Habitats Directive 92/43/EEC or Birds Directive 79/409/EEC), the Bank would require the promoter to act according to the provisions of the aforementioned Directives as transposed into the national law. All schemes must be implemented in compliance with the EU environmental legislation.
Procurement
In case of public beneficiaries, 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. 2004/17/EC/ or 2004/18/EC and Dir. 2007/66/EC), with publication of tender notices in the EU Official Journal, as and where appropriate.
