Aspects environnementaux

The manufacture of rolling stock does not fall under either Annex I or Annex II of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Directive 85/337EEC, as modified. It is not clear at this stage if any depots are necessary. New depots – if any –could fall under Annex II of the EIA Directive, and therefore may be subject to an EIA procedure. This aspect will be investigated during appraisal in order to confirm that this and other applicable EU environmental requirements will be complied with.
