Supporting public transport with the renewal of rolling stock of the national long distance passenger rail operator including: (i) the purchase of 30 new double decker carriages for use on the Warsaw Lodz line under the low cost TLK brand; (ii) the purchase of 25 carriages to be used on E59 (Wroclaw, Poznan, Bydgoszcz, Gdynia); and (iii) the modernisation of 68 carriages to be used on Przemysl to Szczecin.
The investments proposed under the project do not fall under either Annex I or Annex II of the Environmental Impact Assessment Directive 85/337/EEC as refurbishment/manufacturing and use of rail rolling stock is not included in either list. All else equal, the project is expected to have a positive environmental impact by helping the railways to maintain modal share in key sections of the passenger market that are most appropriately met by rail.
The promoter is a contracting authority governed by public law and is subject to provisions of Directive 2004/17/EC as transposed through Polish Public Procurement Law. The Bank will require the promoter to ensure that contracts for the implementation of the project have been/shall be tendered in accordance with the Directive, with parallel publication of tender notices in the EU Official Journal, as and where appropriate.
