    Environmental aspects

    La Rioja, as a Spanish region, is subject by national legislation that transposed Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Directive 2011/92/EU and 2001/42/EC into national legislation. It is understood that the new EIA Directive 2014/52/EU, amending EIA Directive 2011/92/EU is currently under transposition by the Spanish authorities. The EIB's appraisal will focus on the promoter's environmental management capacity to properly apply the EU Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) Directive 2001/42/EC, the EU EIA Directive 2011/92/EU, as well as the requirements of the Habitats and Birds Directives Directives (2009/147/EC and 92/43/EEC, respectively) and the Water Framework Directive (2000/60/EC), where appropriate. All relevant key documents for the project will be published, in line with the Bank's disclosure policy.

    Procurement

    The EIB will require the promoter to ensure that contracts for the implementation of the project are tendered in accordance with the relevant applicable EU procurement legislation, Directive 2014/24/EU or 2004/18/EC and 2014/25/EU or 2004/17/EC, where applicable, as well as Directive 92/13/EEC or Directive 89/665/EEC, as interpreted by the Court of Justice of the EU, with the publication of tender notices in the Official Journal of the EU, as and where required.
