The Bank will also analyse whether the project falls within a plan or a programme requiring a strategic environmental assessment (SEA) in line with Directive 2001/42/EC. Compliance with Directives 92/43/EEC (the Habitats Directive) and 2009/147/EC (the Birds Directive) will be verified during appraisal.
