Aspects environnementaux

The project falls under Annex II of the EIA Directive (85/33/EEC, amended by 97/11/EC and 2003/735/EC), which requires a mandatory Environmental Impact Screening (EIS) by the competent authority. At this stage it seems likely that the project will be "screened-in" and that a full EIA will be necessary. The Bank will ensure during appraisal that the project will be in line with the requirements of the EIA Directive and the Landfill Directive (1999/31/EC).

Passation des marchés

Procurement procedures will have to comply with the 2004/18/EC Directive. All the financed project components with a cost above the EU thresholds will have to be published in the Official Journal of the EU. All the procurement details of the project will be checked during the appraisal.
