Case Description
Complaint
On 8 May 2017, the EIB Complaints Mechanism (EIB-CM) received a complaint in relation to the Las Palmas Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) project in Spain. The allegations revolve around the non-compliance of the project with national law on transparency and access to information as well as EIB Standard 10 on Stakeholder Engagement.
The project summary concerning the EIB loan to this project can be found in the “Project Information” link below.
EIB-CM Action
In March 2018, the EIB-CM completed the Conclusions Report.
The EIB-CM’s investigation confirmed that the Bank is monitoring the project in line with the Bank’s applicable standards and policies. The Bank expects to be informed about the outcome of the ongoing litigation before the Administrative Court of Las Palmas pursuant to the reporting and monitoring framework of the project.
While considering that this complaint does not concern access to information held by the Bank, the EIB-CM has noted that the Bank responded to the Complainant’s enquiry and indicated the possibility of disclosing further information in accordance with the EIB Transparency Policy.
