Beschreibung

The project consists of the co-financing with the European Regional Development Fund of investments in the road sector included under the Improvement of Regional Accessibility priority of the Hungarian Transport Operational Programme 2007-13. It aims at improving regional accessibility by upgrading and/or increasing traffic and load-bearing capacity of connecting roads to the TEN network in Hungary. It will also co-finance the construction of a number of by-passes to towns crossed by national roads presently suffering from the transit of long-distance traffic.

Ziele

The projects to be co-financed by the Bank will be structured to meet the priorities set in the Transport Operational Programme Infrastructure and shall contribute to assist Hungary in achieving further convergence in levels of social development with the rest of EU.

Umweltaspekte

As a new member of the Union, Hungary has harmonised its environmental legislation with the relevant EU Directives. All investments that may benefit from EU support must fully comply with EU requirements. Taking into account that the majority of the projects will relate to extension of capacity of existing roads and by-passes, no major environmental issues are in principle expected.

Auftragsvergabe

Tenders will be organised in compliance with EU requirements, a precondition for EU grant support. Tender notices will be published, as appropriate, in the EU Official Journal.
