Umweltaspekte

The social housing schemes being financed under the operation have to comply with high environmental standards and will significantly contribute to the improvement of the urban environment. Given the expected small to medium scale, location and nature of the social housing schemes it is unlikely that an Environmental Impact Assessment as defined under the EU Directive 2011/92/EU would be required in most cases.

Auftragsvergabe

The final beneficiaries, registered social housing providers, fall under public procurement and will be required by the Bank to ensure that contracts for the implementation of the projects have been/shall be tendered in accordance with the relevant applicable EU procurement legislation.
