Environmental aspects
Given the scale and nature of the sub-projects – demolition, rehabilitation, modernisisation and, to a minor extent, replacement and additional construction of housing and associated facilities – there will be no need for an EIA as defined under the EIA Directive 85/337 and subsequent revisions in most cases. The question of the project falling within a plan or a programme requiring a Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) in line with the EU Directive 2001/42/EC will be further examined during appraisal.
Procurement
Given that the promoter operates in a fully developed sector and does not have a monopoly position in the market, EU procurement Directives are not applicable. The details for the awarding of the contracts will be verified during appraisal.
