Summary sheet
The project refers to the promoter's 2006-2011 investment plan, comprising the construction of two long-term care and research-training facilities and the restructuring and refurbishment of 31 existing buildings already operated by the Foundation.
Financing of the investment programme in new healthcare and research facilities of the Foundation.
Council Directive 97/11/EEC on Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), as amended by 2003/35, does not specifically mention healthcare centres and clinics, but these could in some circumstances be seen as urban development projects (thus falling under Annex II of the Directive). The basis for requesting an EIA by the competent authorities will be verified during project appraisal.
Being a private entity, the Promoter is not obliged to follow public procurement procedures, unless it receives public money (structural funds, regional funds, etc.) to co-finance the works. Such cases will be verified during appraisal.
