Definition in the preparation phase needed
Permitting and authorization procedures
Knowledge about procedures needed
Funding
Funding should be obtained prior launching preparation phase (pre-feasibility)
Experienced staff
Needed for the preparation phase, afterwards during the project operation staff can be trained
Local public acceptance
Mandatory
Project's business case
Definition in the preparation phase needed
