Aspects environnementaux

By virtue of its technical characteristics the project would fall under Annex II of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Directive (2011/92/EU, amended 2014/52/EU), where the national authorities have to decide whether an EIA is needed. In this case a full environmental impact assessment was carried out and the environmental permit was granted in 2011. Details of the authorisation process and its compliance with the relevant EU directives, as applicable, will also be assessed during appraisal.

Passation des marchés

The bank will verify at appraisal whether the promoter is subject to EU rules on public procurement.
