Aspects environnementaux

As the operation includes several different schemes in several different locations, the need for an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) may vary according to location and will be analysed on a case-by-case basis at allocation stage. The same procedure will be followed to assess potential significant impacts on protected nature areas. Compliance with environmental and nature conservation directives and procedures will be checked at the allocation stage. The promoters and final beneficiaries' environmental compliance capabilities will be checked during appraisal.

Passation des marchés

The Bank will require the promoter to ensure that contracts for the implementation of the project have been/will be tendered in accordance with the relevant applicable ED procurement legislation (Directives 2004/18/EC and/or 2004/17/EC as well as Directives 89/665/EEC and 92/13/EEC) as interpreted by the Court of Justice of the ED, with publication of tender notices in the ED Official Journal, as and where required.
