Sector(s)
Proposed EIB finance (Approximate amount)

Environmental aspects
The project is ostensibly an upgrade to the promoter‘s already existing Air Traffic Control systems. Some infrastructure and or construction may have to be developed but on existing facilities. Thus an EIA in compliance with the requirements of the EU EIA Directive 85/337/EEC, amended by Directives 97/11/EC and 2003/35/EC is not required. Compliance with relevant environmental legislation will be verified during appraisal.
Procurement
The Bank will require the Promoter to ensure that contracts for the implementation of the project are tendered in accordance with the relevant applicable EU procurement directives, with publication of tender notices in the EU Official Journal, as and where appropriate and will examine the procurement procedures during appraisal.
