Aspects environnementaux

Finland, as an EU Member State, has harmonised its environmental legislation in line with the relevant EU Directives (2011/92/EU Directive and 2001/42/EC). The project falls under Annex II of the EU EIA Directive, the project defined as Urban Development. The competent authority, the Centre for Economic Development, Transport and the Environment of Northern Ostrobothnia, screens projects concerning the need for EIA. The Underground Parking has been screened out and an EIA is therefore not required.

Passation des marchés
