Project Description
If provided by the financial institution, the Early Warning System Team writes a short summary describing the purported development objective of the project and project components. Review the complete project documentation for a detailed description.
LOCATION Poland DESCRIPTION The project concerns a number of investments in Warsaw Chopin Airport (Warsaw Airport). It includes the reconfiguration of Terminal 1, improved integration of Terminal 1 with Terminal 2, resurfacing of the main runway, new taxiways and aprons, the construction of a second airport hotel and the provision of an aviation fuel supply line. OBJECTIVES The project is aimed at alleviating congestion during peak traffic periods, improving passenger service levels, improving safety and security and catering for future growth in air traffic. ENVIRONMENTAL ASPECTS A full Environmental Impact Assessement (EIA) was carried out and assessed in detail by JASPERS as part of its assistance programme. JASPERS concluded that the relevant EIA procedures were properly followed and that this included a consultation process with the public. There are reported to be no Natura 2000 sites adversely affected, but the details of this and the content of the EIA and the competent authoritya€™s decision will be further reviewed during project appraisal. PROCUREMENT The Bank will require the promoter to confirm that the contracts for the implementation of the project were and will be tendered in accordance with the relevant applicable EU procurement legislation (Directive 2004/17/EC and Directives 89/665/EEC and 92/13/EEC), as interpreted by the Court of Justice of the EU, with publication of tender notices in the EU Official Journal, as and where required.

Contact Information
This section aims to support the local communities and local CSO to get to know which stakeholders are involved in a project with their roles and responsibilities. If available, there may be a complaint office for the respective bank which operates independently to receive and determine violations in policy and practice. Independent Accountability Mechanisms receive and respond to complaints. Most Independent Accountability Mechanisms offer two functions for addressing complaints: dispute resolution and compliance review.
ACCOUNTABILITY MECHANISM OF EIB The EIB Complaints Mechanism is designed to facilitate and handle complaints against the EIB by individuals, organizations or corporations affected by EIB activities. When exercising the right to lodge a complaint against the EIB, any member of the public has access to a two-tier procedure, one internal - the Complaints Mechanism Office - and one external - the European Ombudsman. A complaint can be lodged via a written communication addressed to the Secretary General of the EIB, via email to the dedicated email address complaints@eib.org, by completing the online complaint form available at the following address: http://www.eib.org/complaints/form, via fax or delivered directly to the EIB Complaints Mechanism Division, any EIB local representation office or any EIB staff. For further details, check: http://www.eib.org/attachments/strategies/complaints_mechanism_policy_en.pdf When dissatisfied with a complaint to the EIB Complaints Mechanism, citizens can then turn towards the European Ombudsman. A memorandum of Understanding has been signed between the EIB and the European Ombudsman establishes that citizens (even outside of the EU if the Ombudsman finds their complaint justified) can turn towards the Ombudsman on issues related to 'maladministration' by the EIB. Note that before going to the Ombudsman, an attempt must be made to resolve the case by contacting the EIB. In addition, the complaint must be made within two years of the date when the facts on which your complaint is based became known to you. You can write to the Ombudsman in any of the languages of the European Union. Additional details, including filing requirements and complaint forms, are available at: http://www.ombudsman.europa.eu/atyourservice/interactiveguide.faces
