Environmental aspects
The project was included in recent strategies and programmes subject to the Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) Directive 2001/42/EC. The project is a class of development that falls under Annex II of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Directive 2011/92/EU. The construction of the Seregélyes bypass was subject to preliminary environmental assessment (EIA screening). The Environmental, Nature Conservation and Water Management Inspectorate (the Inspectorate) concluded that the project would not have a significant environmental impact. The cumulative impact was considered under an environmental performance evaluation; this was accepted by the Inspectorate in 2011.
Procurement
The promoter is a public entity obliged to comply with European and national public procurement legislation. Works and service contracts were procured for the four project sections and lots. Five design service, four construction works and three supervision service contracts were published in the Official Journal of the European Union, in accordance with Directive 2004/18/EC, using open procedure, and were awarded on lowest price.
