Umweltaspekte
The sub-projects fall under Annex II of EU Directive 97/11, where the decision on the applicability of an Environmental Impact Assessment is left to national environmental authorities. The regeneration sub-projects are, in most cases, subject to the environmental requirements of prevailing public planning regulations. The sub-projects’ impact on the environment should be substantially positive, since it is likely to result in better thermal insulation and correction of non-traditional construction techniques, as a result of more stringent housing standard requirements of the Housing Corporation (the sector’s regulator). The sub-projects are also most likely to lead to more rationally planned use of inner city areas.
Auftragsvergabe
Contracts for the implementation of the sub-projects are tendered in accordance with the relevant EU procurement legislation (EU Directive 2004/18 and/or 2004/17/EEC), with parallel publication of tender notices in the EU Official Journal, as and where appropriate.
