Fiche récapitulative
The project concerns the roll-out of a telecommunication access infrastructure based on optical fibres to individual households (Fibre-To-The-Home / FTTH).
The project includes the roll-out of the fibre network, including the related investments in the backbone network and IT systems.
Investments in fixed telecommunications projects (mainly civil works for urban underground copper/fibre roll-out) do not fall under Annex I and II of Directive 2011/92/EC. The related works have typically limited residual environmental effects as they are carried out in urban areas as well as alongside roads.
Full environmental details will be assessed during appraisal, including the possible impacts on protected flora and fauna (Habitats 92/43/EC and Birds 79/409/EC).
The promoter is a private company not operating in the utilities sector and not having a status of a contracting authority. Thus, it is not covered by the EU directives on procurement.
