Umweltaspekte

The project falls under Annex II of the EIA Directive 2011/92/EU, according to which the need for a full EIA is decided on a case-by-case analysis by the Competent Authority. In this case, the competent authority issued a screening out decision in 2003. Based on a statement issued by the Competent Authority, the project is not likely to have significant effects on Natura 2000 sites. Environmental mitigation measures, in particular noise barriers, representing some 16 % of total project cost, were needed for minimizing or compensating negative environmental impacts.
