Summary sheet
The project concerns investment in telecommunications infrastructure in France to provide high speed broadband services.
The project will assist in providing state of the art high speed broadband services. The promoter is taking advantage of the open access provisions established by the European regulatory framework, with the long term strategy of converting service based entry into facility based entry.
Investments in fixed telecommunications projects (including civil works investments for fibre 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/EC and Birds 79/409/EC).
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.
