Description
Objectives

The project concerns investments in telecommunication infrastructure to provide high speed broadband services throughout Italy.

The project contributes to the policy objective of furthering the “Information Society” through the competitive supply of advanced broadband services.

Environmental aspects
Procurement

Investments in fixed telecommunications projects (including civil works investments for fiber roll-out and transmission systems) do not fall under Annex I or II of Directive 85/337/EEC as 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).

The promoter is a private company not operating in the Utilities sector, and is therefore not covered by the EU Directives on procurement. The procurement processes to be applied for project implementation will be assessed during appraisal.
