The manufacture of glass falls under Annex II of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Directive 2011/92/EU, as amended, meaning that an EIA might be requested by the competent authorities. During appraisal, the Bank's services will verify all environmental details related to the new manufacturing plant as well as the furnace remaking, and check compliance with applicable EU directives such as the Industrial Emissions Directive (IED) and in particular the decision of the local competent authority in relation to the EIA.
Procurement
The promoter has been assessed by EIB as being a private company not operating in the utilities sector and not having a status of a contracting entity, thus not being subject to EU rules on public procurement.
