    Environmental aspects

    The EIA process was executed for the full reconstruction of the Břeclav railway node, not just the first phase seeking EIB finance, in accordance with the applicable legislation, notably the Habitats Directive 92/43/EEC and the EIA Directive 97/117/EC as amended, transposed in the Czech Republic into Act 100/2001 Coll. on the Environmental Impact Assessment. The competent authority assessed that the project did not require an EIA and issued the EIA negative screening decision in December 2005. A second statement with further clarification was subsequently issued in January 2011.

    The project crosses a Natura 2000 site, Soutok-Tvrdonicko. An assessment of the impact on this site revealed no significant negative impacts, supporting the statement to that effect by the competent authority for nature conservation.

    Procurement

    EU procurement directives (2004/17/EC, 2004/18/EC) have been transposed into Czech legislation by the Act No. 137/2006 Coll. The contract notices for the international open tender were published in the Official Journal of the European Union (OJEU).
