Summary sheet
The project concerns a selection of R&D activities to be conducted over the period 2013-2015 in consumer electronics and Information and Communications Technology (ICT).
The project supports the promoter's long term targets to continuously develop new appliances with improved environmental performance and increased performances.
The project concerns investments in Research, Development and Innovation (RDI) activities that are expected to be carried out in existing facilities already used for similar activities, and would therefore not require an EIA according the Directive 2011/92/EU if located in the EU. Any possible environmental issues, including the coherence with the principles underlying the EU directives, will however be verified during the project's appraisal.
The promoter is a private company not operating in the utilities sector and not having a status of a contracting authority. The Bank will require the promoter to ensure that implementation of the project will be done in accordance with the Bank's Guide to Procurement.
