Environmental aspects
The project concerns investments in R&D that are expected to be carried out in existing facilities already authorised, and would therefore not require an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) under the Directive 2011/92/EU. The Bank's services will review during the project appraisal whether any of the investments could fall under Annex II of the EIA Directive, as well as any other environmental details of the project.
Procurement
The promoter is a private company not operating in the Utilities sector and not having a status of contracting authority. Thus it is not covered by EU directives on procurement.
