Primary Objectives: Sustainable Transport - Urban and Inter-urban, Transversal Indicators, Climate Action (transversal)
Any change of underground railways which may have significant adverse effects on the environment falls under Annex II of the EU EIA Directive according to which the need for a full EIA is decided on a case by case basis by the competent authority. The need for an EIA may vary between project components and will be analysed on a case by case basis, as well as any potential significant impacts on protected areas. The question of the project falling within a plan or a programme requiring a Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) in line with EU Directive 2001/42/EC will also be further examined during appraisal.
The Bank will require the Promoter to ensure that contracts for the implementation of the project shall be tendered in accordance with the relevant applicable EU procurement legislation (Dir 2004/18/EC/ or 2004/17/EC and Dir. 2007/66/EC), with publication of tender notices in the EU Official Journal, as and where appropriate.
