Aspects environnementaux

Investments in fixed telecommunications projects (mainly civil works for urban underground cable/fibre roll-out) do not fall under the annexes of Directive 2014/52/EU amending the Environmental Impact Asssessment (EIA) Directive 2011/92/EU. The related works have typically limited residual environmental effects as they are mainly carried out alongside existing transport infrastructures such as roads.

Passation des marchés

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