Summary sheet
Financing the industrial investment plan, including RDI, of French mid-cap Groupe Sifcor over the period 2017-2020.
The project activities are expected to support the group in its growth ambitions for the transportation sector, as well as to help maintain its competitiveness in the French and European markets.
All project activities are expected to be carried out in existing facilities without changing their already authorised scope and would therefore not require an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) under Directive 2014/52/EU amending 2011/92/EU. Nevertheless, the Bank's services will review during the project appraisal whether any of the investments requires an EIA, as well as any other environmental details of the project.
The promoter has been assessed by the EIB as being a private company not operating in the utilities sector and not having the status of a contracting entity, thus not subject to EU rules on public procurement.
