The project comes under Annex II to Directive 85/337/EEC amended, which stipulates that the competent national authorities must decide whether an environmental impact assessment (EIA) is to be conducted. Under French law, the project is subject to an impact assessment as part of the Declaration of Public Interest (DUP) procedure. This procedure was completed in June 2007 and the project obtained a favourable opinion from the various government departments, including the environmental authority.
Procurement procedures will be in accordance with national legislation and EU directives.
