Aspects environnementaux

R&D activities on ICT do not fall under any annexes of the Directive 2011/92/EU and therefore do not need a mandatory Environmental Impact assessment (EIA). The project activities will be carried out in existing facilities already authorised that will not change the scope due to the project; therefore it is unlikely that the local competent authority has required an EIA for the project. However full environmental details including environmental objectives of the R&D program and if needed, the CO2 footprint as well as the possible impacts on protected flora and fauna (Habitats 92/43/EEC and Birds 79/409/EEC Directives) will be assessed 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 the EU directives on procurement.
