Aspects environnementaux
The project concerns the continuation of current RDI practice and will be carried out within existing RDI facilities. An EIA should therefore not be required by EIA Directive 85/337/EEC, amended by Directives 97/11/EC and 2003/35/EC, unless there are new premises to be built. The promoter will be required to assure that the provisions of the EIA Directive and those of any other relevant environmental requirements are complied with.
Passation des marchés
Procurement is expected to be in line with EIB guidelines for private sector projects. The Bank’s services will verify details during the project’s due diligence.
