Aspects environnementaux

The Bank’s appraisal will primarily focus on the promoter’s environmental management capacity and on the verification of the correct application of the EU Directives, including undertaking of Strategic Environmental/ Environmental Impact Assessments (EIAs) and an assessment of the requirements of the Habitat and Bird Directive where appropriate. Some of the schemes might fall under Annex I or Annex II of the EIA Directive (2011/92/EU). Details on environmental aspects of each scheme and compliance with EU directives, when and where relevant, will be checked at allocation stage.
