Aspects environnementaux
The project falls under Annex II of the EIA Directive and was screened out by the Competent Authorities on the basis of the preliminary environmental impact studies carried out. The Competent Authorities also confirmed that the project will not have any significant impact on declared Natura 2000 sites. Thanks to the electrification of the line, the project will reduce negative environmental externalities due to rail service operation, significantly decreasing associated levels of noise and emission of pollutants. Furthermore, a number of active and passive noise protection measures shall be adopted to minimise potential negative impacts. Compliance with environmental legislations will be verified during appraisal.
