Umweltaspekte

Most of the schemes included are new public transport infrastructures with some selected bus lane and park-and-ride (P+R) facilities and therefore fall under Annex II of EU EIA Directive 2011/92/EU, according to which authorities decide on a case-by-case basis whether a full EIA has to be carried out or not. For some of the schemes it is already known that a full EIA has been carried out. Compliance with EU legislation and the environmental impacts of the project will be examined during the project appraisal.
