Proposed EIB finance (Approximate amount)

Total cost (Approximate amount)
EUR 121 million
Environmental aspects
The project activities do not fall under Annexes I and II of the environmental impact assessment (EIA) Directive 2014/52/EU (amending Directive 2011/92/EU), hence these are not subject to a mandatory EIA. The activities included in the project scope will be performed in existing buildings, therefore these are not expected to have any relevant environmental impact. However, the EIB will review such environmental details during the project appraisal.
Procurement
The promoter has been assessed by the EIB as being a private company not subject to EU rules on public procurement or concessions. However, if after the project appraisal the EIB were to conclude that the promoter is after all subject to EU public procurement legislation, then the promoter has to ensure that contracts for the project implementation have been/will be tendered in line with the relevant applicable EU procurement legislation.
