Aspects environnementaux
Glass furnaces are normally included in Annex II of EU Directive 97/11, which requires a formal Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA). However, the capacity of this one is limited and it will be built in an existing plant. The competent Authorities (Thüringer Landesverwaltungsamt) have decided that an EIA was not required and this decision has been made public and justified.
Passation des marchés
The promoter is expected to supply its equipment and services for the project, amongst the few specialised engineering companies, using international negotiations. This procedure, usual in this industry, would be in the best interest of the project and in line with the Bank’s procurement policy for private industry projects.
