Environmental aspects
While Tramway rolling stock is not included in annexes 1 or 2 of the EU EIA directive tramway infrastructure projects fall under Annex II of the directive, according to which the need for a full EIA is decided on a case-by-case analysis by the Competent Authority. An EIA was carried out in the context of the building permit procedure. It was subject to broad public consultation. Its approval is still pending and will likely be granted in summer this year. Compliance with relevant environmental legislation (including Habitat directive - 92/43/EEC, EIA directive - 85/337/EEC and SEA directive – 2001/42/EEC) will be verified during appraisal.
