Sector(s)
- Industry - Manufacturing
Proposed EIB finance (Approximate amount)
EUR 120 million
Total cost (Approximate amount)
EUR 269 million
Environmental aspects
The project mainly concerns investments in R&D that are expected to be carried out in existing facilities already authorised for the same purpose and would therefore not require an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) under the Directive 2014/52/EU amending Directive 2011/92/EU. Full environmental details will be verified during the appraisal.
Procurement
The promoter is a private company not operating in the Utilities sector and not having the status of a contracting authority. Thus it is not covered by EU Directives on procurement. However, the promoter's procurement procedures are expected to be in line with EIB guidelines for private sector projects. The Bank's services will verify details during the project due diligence.
