Case Description
Complaint
On 14 May 2014, the EIB Complaints Mechanism (EIB-CM) received a complaint concerning the alleged failure to carry out proper consultation and evaluation of impacts of the project “Mediterranean Railway Corridor" in Spain.
EIB-CM Action
Following a preliminary review of the case, the EIB-CM has taken note that the EIB operational team has not finalised the due diligence of the project and that the EIB Management Committee has not taken yet a decision to finance it. In this context, the complaint has been transferred to the Bank’s operational services.
Conclusions
The EIB operational services responded to the complainant to inform him/her that the EIB has recently started its appraisal of the project and will carefully review and assess the issues raised by the complainant as part of its standard due diligence procedures and in close cooperation with the stakeholders involved. Once the EIB appraisal has been finalised, additional information regarding the EIB's assessment of the project will be published on the EIB's website.
