AMSTERDAM AIRPORT SECURITY SCREENING

Promoter – Financial Intermediary

SCHIPHOL NEDERLAND BV

Location

• The Netherlands

Description

The project forms the first part of a larger capital investment programme at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport and involves a number of infrastructure modifications that will allow it to change from a decentralised security screening system for Non-Schengen passengers to a centralised one as well as a number of smaller related investments.

Objectives

The project should lead to considerable improvements in operational efficiency and passenger experience, improve the airport's ability to meet upcoming changes in security regulations effectively, and will enable the airport as a whole to better provide the proposed additional capacity in subsequent parts of its investment programme to cater for the anticipated increase in future demand.

Sector(s)

• Transport

Proposed EIB finance (Approximate amount)

EUR 200 million

Total cost (Approximate amount)

EUR 445 million

Environmental aspects

While the project will be carried out entirely within existing airport boundaries and will result in relatively minor changes to the existing building envelope, it is considered that the project would nevertheless be classified under Annex II of the EU EIA Directive 2011/92/EC, meaning that the Competent Authority makes the decision as to whether a formal EIA is required or not. This and the status of any pre-existing development consents will be reviewed and assessed during project appraisal.

Procurement

The Bank will require the Promoter to ensure that contracts for the implementation of the project have been and shall be tendered in accordance with the relevant applicable EU procurement legislation (Dir. 2004/17/EC or 2004/18/EC and Dir. 2007/66/EC), with publication of tender notices in the EU Official Journal, as and where appropriate.
