Aspects environnementaux
The project activities do not fall under Annexes I and II of the EU Directive 97/11/EC, as amended by Directives 97/11/EC and 2003/35/EC, and are therefore not subject to mandatory Environmental Impact Assessment. As the proposed invetments will take place mainly inside buildings already being used for similar activities, and concern mainly hardware and software research/development, no particular negative impact on the environment is expected. Full environmental details will nevertheless be assessed during appraisal, including the possible impacts on protected flora and fauna (Habitats 92/43/EEC and birds 79/409/EEC Directives).
Passation des marchés
The promoter is a private company not operating in the Utilities sector, and is thus not covered by EU Directives on procurement.
