CARBERY GROUP INVESTMENT PROGRAMME

The project concerns an investment programme at the promoter's processing plant in Ballineen, Co. Cork, west Ireland.

The EIB financing will support the development of new dairy products and contribute to expand the production facility.

The project is expected to be operated and implemented in conformity with applicable national and EU environmental legislations.

The promoter has been assessed by the EIB as being a private company not being subject to EU rules on public procurement or concessions. However, if after the project appraisal the EIB were to conclude that the promoter is after all subject to EU public procurement legislation (Directive 2014/24/EU or 2004/18/EC where applicable), then the Bank would require the promoter to ensure that contracts for the implementation of the project will be tendered in accordance with the relevant applicable EU procurement legislation (Directive 2014/24/EU or 2004/18/EC where applicable), as well as Directive 89/665/EEC as interpreted by the Court of Justice of the EU, with the publication of tender notices in the Official Journal of the EU, as and where required.
