Environmental aspects
The R&D activities encompassed within this project will not materially change current R&D practices and will be carried out within existing facilities, making use of existing laboratories and pilot plants etc. An EIA therefore is not required by EU Directive 97/11 as amended by Directive 2003/35. Compliance of R&D activities with relevant EU environmental legislation will be verified during appraisal.
Procurement
The promoter is a private company not operating in the Utilities sector, and is thus not covered by EU directives on procurement.
