PORT OF KOPER INFRASTRUCTURE II

Extension of Pier 1 and other infrastructure works to increase the container terminal capacity of the only Slovenian port, which is located in the Northern Adriatic Sea.

The Port of Koper is a TEN-T Category A Port (Decision No 1692/96/EC) and part of the core TEN-T ports network of the new proposal adopted by the EC. Additionally, Slovenia is designated as a region covered by the Convergence objective. The Project is, therefore, eligible under Article 309 point (a) projects for developing less-developed regions and point (c) common interest.

The Project's compliance with the SEA Directive 2001/42/EC, EIA Directive 2011/92/EC, the Habitats Directive 92/43/ECC and the Birds Directive 79/409/EEC, including the status of any environmental studies and public consultation, mitigation/compensation measures, environmental monitoring plans and biodiversity assessment requirements will be verified during appraisal.

Luka Koper d.d. is a contracting authority within the meaning of Directive 2004/17/EEC of 31 March 2004. Therefore, the Bank will require the Promoter to ensure that contracts for the implementation of the project have been/shall be tendered in accordance with the relevant applicable EU procurement legislation (Directive 2004/17/EC), with publication of tender notices in the EU Official Journal, as and where required.
