Aspects environnementaux
Urban railway projects fall under Annex II of Directive 85/337/EC and subsequent revisions, according to which the competent authority decides on the need of an EIA on a case by case analysis. A full EIA has been carried out for the overall Crossrail Project, and Form A has already been provided to the Bank. Concerning new trains, their construction will take place in the manufacturer’s plants and does not fall within the scope of Directive 85/337/EEC (as amended); the same goes for the implementation, therefore no EIA is required for this component. The Crossrail project overall is expected to have a positive impact on environment, with a forecast net overall reduction in CO2 emissions in the range of 20 000 tons per year.
Passation des marchés
Transport for London and Rail for London are organisations subject to EU public procurement directives (in this case 2004/17/EC).

The prequalification phase has already been carried out with OJEU notice issued in December 2010; the 5 shortlisted bidders were announced in April 2011; invitation to negotiate should be issued in Q3 2011. Contract award and financial close is expected by end of 2013.
