Summary sheet
Pan-European greenfield infrastructure fund
The fund aims to build a diversified portfolio of approx. 10-12 assets, both across geographical regions and sectors.
Most of the fund's underlying infrastructure investments will require either a full environmental impact assessment (EIA) or a screening decision by the national competent authority to determine whether an EIA is required or not. The legal documentation to be entered into by the Bank is intended to require the fund to ensure that its underlying investments respect the relevant EU directives and the environmental and social standards of the Bank.
The Bank will require the fund to seek to ensure that contracts for the implementation of the project have been/shall be tendered in accordance with any relevant applicable EU procurement legislation (Directives 2004/18/EC and/or 2004/17/EC as well as Directives 89/665/EEC and 92/13/EEC) as interpreted by the Court of Justice of the EU, with publication of tender notices in the EU Official Journal, as and where required.
