    Case Description

    Complaint

    On 28 August 2015, the EIB Complaints Mechanism (EIB-CM) received a complaint alleging the failure by the project promoter to carry out a proper consultation and an impact assessment in relation to the project “Trans Adriatic Pipeline", Greece.

    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 for their consideration and reply.

    Conclusions

    The EIB operational services responded to the complainant to advise him/her that the EIB has not yet made a decision to finance the project. Furthermore, the complainant was informed that the project promoter has ultimate responsibility for the project implementation. As such, the complainant should contact the project promoter to obtain clarification on the issues raised in the complaint and also submit his/her concerns to the project grievance mechanism which contact details can be found in the “Project Information” section below.
