Aspects environnementaux
If the project were to be undertaken within the EU, by virtue of its technical characteristics the project is classified as an Annex I project according to the EIA Directive 85/337/EEC, as amended. Jamaican national legislation requires a full EIA including public consultation for all road projects. A comprehensive EIA was conducted including a detailed nature assessment. The approval was granted by the competent authority following extensive public consultation. The Competent Authority issued the environmental permit in January 2008. Prior to the project-related EIA, the Jamaican Government also conducted, in 2000, a Strategic Environmental Assessment which covered the entire Highway 2000 project. The overall environment impact of this project is considered to be acceptable to the Bank.
