  • Environmental and Social Data Sheet
    Luxembourg, 21st October 2015 Environmental and Social Data Sheet Overview Project Name: D4R7 SLOVAKIA PPP Project Number: 2015-0059 Country: Slovakia Project Description: The project consists of the design, construction and financing of approximately 27 km of the D4 motorway around Bratislava, which will connect to the R7 expressway and is to be procured as part of the D4R7 PPP. EIA required: yes 1 Project included in Carbon Footprint Exercise : yes (details for projects included are provided in section: “EIB Carbon Footprint Exercise”) Summary of Environmental and Social Assessment, including key issues and overall conclusion and recommendation The D4 motorway is to be procured, together with the R7 expressway, as part of the D4/R7 public private partnership (PPP). The D4/R7 project was divided into five sections for preparation and assessment: D4 Jarovce – Ivanka Sever, D4 Ivanka Sever – Rača, R7 Prievoz – Ketelec, R7 Ketelec – Dunajská Lužná and R7 Dunajská Lužná – Holice. The project was included in the Programme of Highways and Expressways, amendment number 3 (2012), and also in the Strategic Plan for Development of Transport Infrastructure in Slovak Republic by 2020 (2014). Both programmes were subject to a strategic environmental assessment (SEA) in accordance with Directive 2001/42/EC. The D4 motorway is a class of development that falls under Annex I of the environmental impact assessment (EIA) Directive 2011/92/EU. The EIAs for all D4 and R7 sections were initially completed between 2008 and 2010 and received favourable opinion for development subject to conditions from the Slovak Ministry of Environment (MoE). Subsequently the project design was amended and further assessments were undertaken between 2013 and 2014 – including appropriate assessment in accordance with Article 6 of the Habitats Directive 92/43/EEC.

E-mail: [email protected] Abstract In this paper we want to provide a brief introduction to our current research on the Early to Middle Bronze Age (Hatvan to Füzesabony period) settlement sites in the Borsod plain of North-eastern Hungary. Our work is based on intensive archaeological surface survey, aerial photography, topographical measurements and magnetometer survey that provide important data both on the intra and off-site level. With the results obtained so far, it is possible to provide a much more nuanced picture of both the internal structure of the tell and tell-like Bronze Age sites of our study area and their development through time than was hitherto possible. As an example of the ongoing research we will discuss some results of our work at the site of Tiszabábolna-Fehérlótanya including the surface finds, magnetometry and archaeozoological results. Auszug Nach einem kurzen Überblick über die methodischen Grundlagen des BORBAS Projektes (Borsod Region Bronze Age Settlements) wird in diesem Beitrag der Kenntnisstand zur früh- und mittelbronzezeitlichen Besiedlung (Hatvan- und Füzesabony-Periode) der Borsod-Ebene in Nordostungarn dargestellt. Neue Forschungsergebnisse im Rahmen des BORBAS Projektes erlauben es, ein differenzierteres Bild des Aufbaus der einzelnen Siedlungen und ihrer Entwicklung im Laufe der Zeit zu entwerfen als dies bislang möglich war.
