The position in respect of national legislation will be confirmed at appraisal together with the status and details of possible environmental and social assessments, permit procedures, public consultation and hence compliance of the project with EIB environmental and social standards. The refurbishment of buildings shall be further aligned with the 2010/31/EU Energy performance of buildings Directive and the 2012/27/EU Energy Efficiency.
The Promoter has been assessed by the EIB as being a private company not subject to EU rules on public procurement or concessions. However, if after the project appraisal, the EIB were to conclude that the Promoter is after all subject to EU public procurement legislation Directive 2014/24/EU, then the Bank would require that the Promoter ensure that contracts for the implementation of the project will be tendered in accordance with the relevant applicable EU procurement legislation Directive 2014/24/EU, where applicable, as well as Directive 89/665/EEC as interpreted by the Court of Justice of the EU, with publication of tender notices in the Official Journal of the EU, as and where required.
