The strategy of the EIB, as a policy-driven public bank with the mission of contributing to the attainment of the EU's policy objectives, is developed and implemented through its operational priorities, financial management and internal activity and processes. The Corporate Operational Plan (COP) formulates and quantifies these priorities and goals over three years and is central to the work of staff.
The COP 2008-2010 builds on initiatives approved in COP 2007-2009 and also encompasses decisions taken by the European Council, Council of the European Union, Board of Governors and the Board of Directors during 2007.
