Aspects environnementaux

If located in Europe, the implementation of banking IT systems would not be covered by the EIA directive 2011/92/EU. In addition, the project activities are expected to be carried out in existing facilities that are already used for the same purposes and that are not expected to change their scope due to the project.

Passation des marchés

The promoters of the individual projects under the Programme have been assessed by the EIB as being private companies not operating in the utilities sector and not having a status of a contracting entity, thus not being subject to rules on public procurement.
