    Environmental aspects

    The installation of mobile telecommunication networks do not fall under Annexes I and II of the EU Directive 2011/92/EC, and are therefore not subject to mandatory Environmental Impact Assessment. Such mobile telecommunication networks have limited residual environmental effects, apart from the visual impact of base station towers and the EMF radiation. Generally the impacts can be mitigated by appropriate construction and operation measures.

    Procurement

    The promoter is a private company not operating in the Utilities sector, and is thus not covered by EU Directives on procurement.
