Evaluation of 10 operations in the telecommunications sector in EU Member States

The evaluation of 10 "classical" telecommunications operations financed by the EIB between 1985 and 1994 in eight member-States of the European Union countries shows that EIB funds have been put to good use: they have contributed to financing investments which were part of sound programmes and, in the hands of efficient operators, they have helped raise the efficiency of telecommunications in the recipient countries.
