Montant BEI envisagé (montant approximatif)

EUR 35 million

Coût total (montant approximatif)

EUR 89 million

Aspects environnementaux

The RDI activities and industrial undertakings included in the proposed investment programme are not listed in any annexes of the EIA Directive 2014/52/EU amending the EIA Directive 2011/92/EU. In particular, the RDI part of the project will be carried out in existing facilities, already authorised, that will not change their scope due to the project. The need for an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is therefore unlikely. Nevertheless, the Bank's services will review during the project appraisal whether any of the investments requires an EIA, as well as any other environmental details of the proposed investments.

Passation des marchés

The promoter has been assessed by the EIB as being a private company not operating in the utilities sector and not having the status of a contracting entity, thus not subject to EU rules on public procurement.
