Environmental aspects
Council Directive 97/11/EEC on Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), as amended by 2003/35, does not specifically mention healthcare centres and clinics, but these could in some circumstances be seen as urban development projects (thus falling under Annex II of the Directive). The basis for requesting an EIA by the competent authorities will be verified during project appraisal.
Procurement
Being a private entity, the Promoter is not obliged to follow public procurement procedures, unless it receives public money (structural funds, regional funds, etc.) to co-finance the works. Such cases will be verified during appraisal.
