Environmental aspects
Council Directive 97/11/EC on Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) does not specifically mention health activities, though as an urban development Appendix II of the Directive could apply. The basis for requesting (or not) an EIA by the competent authorities, the local planning and approval process and actual/possible significant impacts on protected flora and fauna (Habitat’s and Bird’s Directives) will be verified during project appraisal.
Procurement
The application of the appropriate procurement procedures will be confirmed during project appraisal, but it is not expected to be problematic.
