Environmental aspects

A number of the major project components are classified under Annex II of Council Directive 85/337 as amended by Directive 97/11/EC, thus requiring a decision by the competent authority whether or not formal Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) process is required. The planning approvals procedure for the terminal extension is ongoing following an appeal to the national planning authority by the Portmarnock Community Association on 15 may 2007. The Bank will require the promoter to provide a copy of the final planning approval for the terminal extension component.

Procurement

The Promoter has confirmed that all contracts have been or will be tendered in accordance with the relevant applicable EU procurement Directive (2004/17/EC), with publication of tender notices in the EU Official Journal, as and where appropriate.
