On 7 June 2005, the European Investment Bank will hold the Annual General Meeting of its Board of Governors.

The Board of Governors consists of Ministers nominated by each of the Member States, usually Ministers of Finance, Economic Affairs or the Treasury. They represent the Bank's shareholder Member States.

On this occasion, having received the report of the Audit Committee, they will approve the financial statements, including the balance sheet and profit and loss account, and the Annual Report for the year under review (2004). They will also define general directives on the credit policy of the institution.
