Aspects environnementaux

The project concerns investments in research and development that are expected to be carried out in existing facilities already authorised and would therefore not require an EIA under Directive 2011/92/EU, except if the related capital expenditures concern construction or refurbishment of test stands or buildings that could fall under Annex II of the EIA directive. Any possible environmental issue will be verified during the project appraisal.

Passation des marchés

The promoter is a private company not operating in the utilities sector and not having a status of contracting authority. Thus it is not covered by EU Directives on procurement.
