Aspects environnementaux

R&D activities included in the project will not materially change current R&D practice and will be carried out within existing and already authorised laboratories and plants. This type of activities is not specifically listed in the Directive 2011/92/EU; therefore an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) should not be required by the competent authority. This, along with any other environmental details, will be verified during the appraisal.

Passation des marchés

The promoter is a private company not operating in the Utilities sector and not having a status of a contracting authority. Thus it is not covered by EU Directives on procurement. Procurement is expected to be in line with EIB guidelines for private sector projects. The Bank's services will verify details during the project due diligence.
