Finance contracts signed
Breakdown by eligibilities
Article 267 of the Treaty establishing the European Community defines the role of the Bank. Its task of contributing to the balanced development of the European Union translates into a set of objectives (see annex to "The project cycle at the EIB"). The projects falling under these different categories are listed in the table below.
NB: Although the objectives apply only to projects financed within the European Union, other projects meeting the relevant criteria are also included on the lists.
