Question
Regarding section 13. 3). f) Can you please confirm that Environmental Impact Assessments for the construction or improvement of transport infrastructure delivered under IFI funded projects such as WB, ADB, AFDB would be also acceptable as references covering criteria f) since the requirements towards EIAs are identical and in line with the principles of the EU environmental legislation.

Without prejudice to the case-by-case assessment of the evaluation committee on the information provided in the candidate's application, it can be assumed that an EIA delivered as part of an IFI-funded project would comply with criteria f). It is the candidate's responsibility to provide enough information for the evaluation committee to determine whether the EIA was indeed carried out “in line with the principles of the EU environmental legislation”.
