Summary sheet
Metso Corporation
The project concerns investments in research, development and innovation (RDI) related environmental products and services as well as in strategic product development programmes.
The project supports Metso’s strategic focus on the environmental business in pulp, paper, construction, mining and energy industries.
The project concerns the continuation of current RDI practice and will be carried out within existing facilities; an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is therefore not required by EIA Directive 85/337/EEC, amended by Directives 97/11/EC and 2003/35/EC. Full environmental details will be assessed during appraisal, including the possible impacts on protected flora and fauna (Habitats’ 92/43/EEC and Birds’ 79/409/EEC Directives).
The promoter is a private company, not operating in the utilities sector, and is not covered by EU Directives on procurement.
