The project consists of works that in principle do not fall under the scope of Directive 2011/92/EU; the need for an environmental impact assessment (EIA) will however be assessed during appraisal. The Bank will also analyse whether the project falls within a plan or a programme requiring a strategic environmental assessment (SEA) in line with Directive 2001/42/EC. Compliance with Directives 92/43/EEC (the Habitats Directive) and 2009/147/EC (the Birds Directive) will be verified during appraisal.
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 (Directives 2004/17/EC and 2007/66/EC, amending Directives 1989/665/EEC and 1992/13/EEC), with publication of tender notices in the EU Official Journal, as and where required.
