Environmental aspects
The project concerns investments in research and development that are expected to be carried out in existing facilities already authorised for the same purpose, and would therefore not require an EIA under the Directive 2011/92/EU. Any possible environmental issue will however be verified during the project’s appraisal.
Procurement
The promoter is a private company not operating in the Utilities sector, and is thus not covered by EU Directives on procurement.
