A number of components included in this project might fall under Annex II of Directive 2011/92/EU amended by the Directive 2014/52/EU (EIA Directive), meaning that the Competent Authority makes the decision as to whether a formal environmental impact assessment (EIA) is required or not. This, and the status of any existing development consents, will be reviewed and assessed during project appraisal.
The Bank will require the promoter to ensure that contracts for implementation of the project have been tendered in accordance with the applicable EU procurement legislation: Directive 2014/25/EU as well as Directive 92/13/EEC as interpreted by the Court of Justice of the EU, with publication of tender notices in the EU Official Journal, as and where required.
