Umweltaspekte

If located in the EU, the investments in fixed telecommunications projects (mainly civil works for fibre rollout) would not fall under Directive 2011/92/EU on environmental impact assessment (EIA). The related works for such broadband networks have limited environmental effects, apart from disturbances during civil work construction, which can be mitigated by appropriate measures. Full environmental details will be assessed during appraisal.

Auftragsvergabe

The Bank will require the promoter to ensure that implementation of the project will be done in accordance with the Bank's Guide to Procurement.
