Environmental aspects
The project encompasses a substantive set of infrastructure schemes, some of which might require an EIA and biodiversity safeguarding procedures according to EU legislation (namely Directive 85/337/EEC as amended by Directive 97/11/EC and 2003/35/EC), depending upon the size and location. More specifically, each of the project schemes will be assessed to determine whether it falls under Annex I or Annex II and, for schemes falling under Annex II, whether an EIA is to be carried out or not and on what basis. Scheme evaluation will include also possible impacts on protected flora and fauna (Habitats and Birds Directives). Finally, project appraisal will address if a Strategic Environmental Assessment has been undertaken in line with "SEA" Directive 2001/42/EC.
