Summary sheet
The project concerns the construction of a new manufacturing plant using Best Available Technology for the production of melamine on the promoter's existing industrial site in Lithuania.
The EIB loan will finance the construction of a new plant to produce melamine that will help the promoter to diversify its product portfolio. This project supports the strengthening of the EU's economic, social and territorial cohesion.
The production of chemicals falls under Annex II of the Directive 2014/52/EU amending 2011/92/EU and should therefore require an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) subject to competent authorities' screening decision. This will be assessed during the project appraisal with other environmental details.
The promoter has been assessed by EIB as being a private company not operating in the utilities sector and not having a status of a contracting entity, thus not being subject to EU rules on public procurement.
