The project concerns a number of investments aimed at upgrading the Spanish road network and includes schemes located in so-called 'transition' regions and the less-developed regions of Spain and/or schemes within the Trans European Networks-Transport (TEN-T).
This project will contribute towards investment in projects to improve road infrastructure. In particular, the operation will target investments schemes in the areas of road safety, road rehabilitation and upgrades, construction of city by-passes and missing links, and works to alleviate bottlenecks in TEN-T road networks and/or eligible Spanish regions.
All schemes to be financed under the proposed project will be required to comply with the relevant national legal framework. The applicability of EIA Directive 2011/92/EU, SEA directive 2001/42/EC, Habitats Directive 92/43/EEC and Birds Directive 79/409/EEC will be reviewed at appraisal, in particular for the constructions of new roads and road widening schemes. Other investments such as rehabilitation schemes or safety barriers are not expected to fall under either Annex I or Annex II of the EIA Directive.
According to the information received to date, contracts for the implementation of the project have been/shall be tendered in accordance with the relevant applicable EU procurement legislation (Dir 2004/18/EEC), with publication of tender notices in the EU Official Journal, as and where appropriate.
