Aspects environnementaux

Research and development activities on refrigerators are not listed in any of the annexes of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Directive 2014/52/EU amending the Directive 2011/92/EU. The project does not include any new constructions. The planned capital investments will be installed in already-authorised facilities. The financed R&D activities will be carried out in existing facilities, already authorised, that will not change their scope due to the project, thus not requiring any additional environmental permits.

Passation des marchés

The promoter is a private company not operating in the Utilities sector and does not have the status of a contracting authority. Thus, it is not covered by the EU Directives on procurement. The procurement procedures to be followed by the promoter are suitable for the project and satisfactory to the EIB.
