Umweltaspekte

By virtue of its technical characteristics the project falls under Annex II of Directive 85/337/EC, as amended by 97/11/EC and 2003/35/EC, which leaves the requirement for an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) to be determined by the competent national authorities. In this case the Spanish authorities have required an EIA to be carried out. The outcome of the EIA procedure was favourable and the environmental authorisation was awarded in May 2009. Details of the environmental assessment procedures applied will be reviewed by the Bank during appraisal to verify compliance with the Bank’s environmental policy.

Auftragsvergabe

Neither the promoter nor the special purpose companies are subject to EU Procurement Directives. Suitable procurement procedures, including an appropriate selection of works, goods and services offered at competitive prices should be applied in the project’s best interests. Details will be verified during appraisal.
