Umweltaspekte

The project concerns investments in research, development and innovation activities that will be carried out in existing facilities, already authorised. The project might include further investments in machinery, tooling and any additional civil works, which are still to be confirmed. In this regard, the Bank’s services will verify during the project’s due diligence whether the project falls under the EIA Directive 85/337/EC, amended by Directives 97/11/EC and 2003/35/EC, where an EIA would be required. Overall, the project is expected to have a neutral impact on the environment, while the commercial product of the activities will have a positive environmental impact, resulting in substantial reductions in terms of vehicle emissions and fuel consumption.

Auftragsvergabe

Procurement is expected to be in line with EIB guidelines for private sector projects. The Bank’s services will verify details during the project’s due diligence.
