Environmental aspects
Metro Projects fall under Annex II of Directive 85/337/Ec as amended and therefore competent authorities decide on a case by case analysis if a full EIA has to be carried out or not. At present stage, no detailed information is available, so this will be accordingly reviewed during the project’s appraisal.
Procurement
Attiko Metro follows the EU procurement Directives (2004/17/EC and 2004/18/EC), including publication in the EU Official Journal. All contracts over the relevant EC Directive thresholds have been, or will be, put out to international tendering with publication of notices in the EU-OJ.
