Environmental aspects

This type of activities fall under Annex II of the EIA Directive (Annex II 13 (a)). The screening process, respective Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) decisions and reports will be assessed during appraisal. The safety and environmental dimensions of the project components, in particular the envisaged emission and effluent reductions, will be scrutinised during appraisal. This will include a conformity check with applicable EU directives (IED, ambient air and SEVESO III) and the environmental management plans. As the components are all within the borders of existing plants, it is not expected that Habitat issues will arise.

Procurement

The promoter is a private company not operating in the utilities sector and not having a status of a contracting authority. Thus, it is not covered by the EU directives on procurement.
