Environmental aspects
The project concerns investments in research and development that are expected to be carried out in existing facilities without changing the already authorized scope and would therefore not require an EIA under the Directive 2014/52/EU amending the EIA Directive 2011/92/EU. However, the Bank's services will review during the project appraisal all the project-related environmental details
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.
