Environmental aspects
The RDI activities included in the project 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 are expected to take place at facilities already being used for similar activities that will not change their scope due to the project. Whether the investments also include capital expenditures that could fall under Annex II of the EIA Directive 2011/92/EC will be reviewed during the project appraisal, together with other environmental issues.
Procurement
The promoter is a private company not operating in the Utilities sector and does not have the status of a contracting authority. Thus, it is not covered by the EU Public Procurement Directives
