Environmental aspects
The project activity does not fall under the categories listed in Annexes I and II of EU Council Directive 97/11/EC, therefore, Environmental Impact Assessment is subject only to national legislation. The material part of the investments will concern new or additional electronic equipment, which is normally housed in existing office-type buildings, hence no significant environmental impact is expected. Concerning the EU Council Directive 92/43/EEC "Habitats", the promoter's network i.e. cables and ducting systems will cover mainly urban areas, therefore Natura 2000 sites are not likely to be affected.
Procurement
Telecommunications is considered a competitive market and has been excluded from the scope of the latest EU Directive concerning the utility sector (2004/17/EC). The promoter is expected to apply efficient procurement procedures, which will be verified during appraisal.
