Umweltaspekte

By virtue of its technical characteristics the project would fall under Annex II of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Directive (2011/92/EU, amended by Directive 2014/52/EU), where the national authorities have to decide whether an EIA is needed. In this case a full environmental impact assessment was commissioned by the Ministries of Economic Affairs and of Infrastructure and the Environment. Details of the authorisation process and its compliance with the relevant EU directives, as applicable, will also be assessed during appraisal.

Auftragsvergabe

Given that the concession is awarded following a due public procurement process in line with Directives 2014/23/EU and 2014/25/EU, the promoter is not enjoying special and exclusive rights. The bank will verify at appraisal whether the promoter is subject to EU rules on public procurement.
