The project falls under Annex I of the EIA Directive 85/337/EEC, amended by Directives 97/11/EC and 2003/35/EC, and therefore an EIA is mandatory. Full environmental details will be assessed during the appraisal, including possible impacts on protected flora and fauna (Habitats’ 92/43/EEC and Birds’ 79/409/EEC Directives).
The promoter is a private company that is not operating in the Utilities sector, and is thus not covered by EU Directives on procurement.
