Aspects environnementaux

Investments in fixed telecommunications projects (mainly civil works for urban underground copper/fibre roll-out) do not fall under Annex I and II of Directive 2011/92/EU as amended. The related works typically have limited residual environmental effects as they are carried out in urban areas as well as alongside roads.

Passation des marchés

The promoter has been assessed by the EIB as being a private company not operating in the utilities sector and not having the status of a contracting entity, thus not subject to EU rules on public procurement.
