Environmental aspects
The project concerns primarily investments in research and development that are expected to be carried out in existing facilities already authorized and would therefore not require an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) under Annex II of the Directive 85/337/EC, amended by Directives 97/11/EC and 2003/35/EC. The project might however also include capital expenditures related to the R&D activities. Whether these investments fall under Annex II of the EIA Directive, along with any other environmental issues, will be clarified during the project’s appraisal.
Procurement
The promoter is a private sector company operating in the manufacturing sector not covered by EU Directives on procurement.
