Environmental aspects
Council Directive 97/11/EEC on Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), as amended by 2003/35, does not specifically mention hospitals and clinics, but these could in some circumstances be seen as urban development projects (thus falling under Annex II of the Directive). The projects by virtue, inter alia, of their nature, size or location, appear unlikely to have a significant effect on environment. This will be verified during project appraisal.
Procurement
The appraisal will confirm if the procedure satisfies the EIB’s procurement policy in terms of non-discrimination of suppliers and promotion of international competition.
