Environmental aspects
The project includes R&D activities that are not specifically mentioned in the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Directive 2011/92/EU and that will be carried out in existing facilities without changing their already authorised scope. The project would therefore not require an EIA. Full environmental details will be assessed during appraisal.
Procurement
The promoter is a private company not operating in the Utilities sector and not having the status of a contracting entity, thus not being subject to EU rules on public procurement.
