Sector(s)
Proposed EIB finance (Approximate amount)
Around EUR 200 mio.
Total cost (Approximate amount)
Estimated at EUR 1.2bn.
Environmental aspects
The requirements of Directive 97/11/CE have been transposed into national legislation and, indeed, given the sensitivity of the local environment, development policy is in many aspects less permissive than elsewhere within EU.
Procurement
Because EU procurement directives have been adopted nationally/locally, all schemes comply with prevailing EU procurement protocols.
