As a Member State, Bulgaria has harmonised its environmental legislation in line with the relevant EU Directives (85/337/EC, as amended, and 2001/42/EC). The schemes would most likely fall outside both Annex I and II of the EU EIA Directive, however this screening will be performed by the Competent Authority on a case-by-case basis. Details on each scheme will be checked at appraisal stage, when the relevant specific information is available and can be analysed.
The promoter is a public entity subject to EU Public Procurement rules. EU Directives (2004/18/EC and 2004/17/EC) have been transposed into national legislation. Tenders will be/have been organised in compliance with EU requirements, with publication of tender notices in the EU Official Journal for projects above thresholds. Procurement procedures are therefore satisfactory to the Bank.
