Environmental aspects
Procurement

The project components by virtue, inter alia, of their nature, size or location, appear unlikely to have a significant effect on environment. The basis for requesting (or not) an EIA by the competent authorities, the local planning and approval process and actual/possible significant impacts on protected flora and fauna (Habitats’ and Birds’ Directives) will be verified during project appraisal.

The procurement procedures used by the promoter will be assessed during appraisal in order to ensure that they are in line with the Bank's guidelines and the relevant applicable Community rules.
