Summary sheet
Financement du plan d'investissement de la Communauté Française de Belgique pour la construction de batiments scolaires en Wallonie et Bruxelles
The project concerns the design, construction, extension and renovation of pre-primary, primary and secondary schools, in the “Communauté Française de Belgique”.
The project includes new buildings, extensions and renovation of existing pre-primary, primary and secondary schools. The Directive 2011/92/EU does not specifically mention the need for an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) for buildings related to education, but it may be that some sub-projects can be regarded as urban renewal projects and might require an EIA (Annex II of the European Directive). This will be examined during the appraisal. A number of the sub-projects are situated in the Communes with high youth unemployment rate and with a high frequency of immigration. The project contributes to the improvement of education provision in those Communes and has thus a strong positive social impact.
The procedures for tendering and procurement used by the promoter must comply with the Community directives on procurement (Directives 2004/17/EC and 2004/18/EC amended by Regulation 1874/2004). The procedures will be analysed during the appraisal.
Le financement de la BEI sera intermédié par une ou plusieurs banques partenaires.
