Description
Objectives

The proposed operation concerns the promoter’s investments in research and development in the 2005-2007 period.

To undertake R&D activity for innovative broadband telecommunications applications for both fixed and mobile platforms as well as for innovation of IT products.

Environmental aspects
Procurement

Since the project concerns mainly the purchase of IT hardware and software development in existing facilities, no negative environmental impact is expected.

The promoter operates in a fully competitive market and is thus not bound by EU Directive 93/38/EEC (see also EC Commission Communication 2004/C 115/03), concerning supply contracts. All civil works and equipment will be procured following national and international enquiries among the most qualified contractors and suppliers.
