Summary sheet
EIB financing will support the Regional Development Programme in three main priority axes:1) Improvement of the competitiveness of the economic fabric (Research and Development capacity, innovative know-how of SMEs and support of SME’s in the tourism and cultural heritage sector); 2) Enhancement of the environment via schemes aimed at increasing energy efficiency, measures in favour of renewable energy, rehabilitation of contaminated zones and valorisation of the natural resources and historical heritage; 3) Development of the accessibility of both transport systems (multi-modal transports and road improvement) as well as information technologies (notably via better IT connections to companies).
Financing of investments under the Regional Development Programme 2007-2013.
The project encompasses a substantive set of infrastructure schemes, some of which might require an EIA and biodiversity safeguarding procedures according to EU legislation (namely Directive 85/337/EEC as amended by Directive 97/11/EC and 2003/35/EC), depending upon the size and location. More specifically, each of the project schemes will be assessed to determine whether it falls under Annex I or Annex II and, for schemes falling under Annex II, whether an EIA is to be carried out or not and on what basis. Scheme evaluation will include also possible impacts on protected flora and fauna (Habitats and Birds Directives). Finally, project appraisal will address if a Strategic Environmental Assessment has been undertaken in line with "SEA" Directive 2001/42/EC.
