Contributing to
i) support EU presence in Latin America through Foreign Direct Investment,

iii) allow the transfer of European technology and know-how.
In Europe, telecom activities do not fall under Annexes I and II of EU Directive 97/11/EC (concerning Environmental Impact Assessment requirements) and are subject only to national legislation. The promoter’s approach to visual and health impacts and its compliance with national and/or European/International regulations on environmental and social issues will be assessed during appraisal.
The promoter is a private company providing its services in liberalized markets, and is therefore exempt from utility type regulations. During appraisal it will be assessed whether the procurement procedures followed by the promoter or its group appear fair, economically and technically effective, and in the interest of the project.
