Aspects environnementaux
Urban tramway projects fall under Annex II of the EU Directive 85/337/EEC as amended and therefore competent authorities decide on the requirement of an EIA. In this case the competent authority decided that an EIA is required. The project is contributing to reduce reliance on private cars and the negative impact of transport on the environment, thus contributing to climate change objectives. These details along with compliance with EU Birds and Habitat Directives will be examined during the project appraisal.
