Environmental aspects

The project covers the construction of a large-scale hospital on a greenfield site close to an urbanised area. If the project were located within the EU, it would be covered by Annex II of Directive 2011/92/EU on environmental impact assessment (EIA) with respect to urban development. To ensure that the project meets the environmental and social principles and standards of the EIB and participating IFIs, the financiers requested an environmental and social impact assessment study (ESIA). The EIB will verify during appraisal the outcome of the ESIA to ensure that the project meets the environmental and social principles and standards of the Bank.

The project has been tendered pursuant to Additional Article 7 of Law No 3359, the former BLT Regulation published in the official Gazette dated 22 July 2006 and numbered 26236 and the Tender Specifications. During appraisal, the EIB will undertake an ex-post review of the procurement procedures and evaluation criteria to ensure their compliance with the Bank’s Guide to Procurement.
