Proposed EIB finance (Approximate amount)

Environmental aspects
The project activities are expected to be carried out in existing facilities, without changing the already authorised scope and would, therefore, not require an environmental impact assessment (EIA) under Directive 2014/52/EU amending the EIA Directive 2011/92/EU. Where this should not be the case, the Company will be asked to ensure that the activities will comply with EIA Directive 2011/92/EU as amended and that the relevant local, regional or national legal requirements at Member State level are in place; the Company will be asked to present the relevant documentation to the Bank, and in case of an EIA permit the Non-Technical Summary (NTS), before using the Bank's fund for this part of the investments.
Procurement
The promoter has been assessed by the EIB as being a private company not subject to EU rules on public procurement or concessions.
