Aspects environnementaux

Some of the project components might be subject to a mandatory Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) report, including public consultations. The decision of the competent Authorities regarding their EIA will be assessed during appraisal. The above-mentioned facilities are likely to fall under Annex II of the EIA Directive 2011/92/EU amended by the Directive 2014/52/EU, SEA Directive (2001/42/EC), Habitats Directive (92/43/EEC), Water Framework Directive (WFD) 2000/60/EC, Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive, Drinking Water Directive (EU) 2020/2184 and Birds Directive (2009/147/EC). It is expected that the projects will generate significant environmental and public health benefits from reduced discharge of untreated wastewater to environmental bodies because of rehabilitated and upgraded sewer systems and wastewater treatment plants. Investments in water supply networks will result in reduced water losses, and thus a more rational use of increasingly scarce water resources. The full environmental details will however be further examined during appraisal.
