"Mr President, I too would like to congratulate our rapporteur, Mr Kalfin, on his excellent report. There is no doubt that the current economic crisis has seriously highlighted the important work of the European Investment Bank in the European Union. The role of the European Investment Bank is also important, albeit less well known, outside the EU, in supporting the EU’s external action through its external mission that we are debating today.
The proposals contained in the report: firstly, to increase transparency; secondly, to introduce the flexibility clause for possibly reallocating regional resources; thirdly, to align EIB activities with EU external policy; fourthly, to extend the list of eligible countries and, fifthly, to increase the financing ceiling, are positive proposals which are both very useful and necessary. I agree with and support these proposals, because they also improve the efficacy of the work of the European Investment Bank and, at the same time, improve the positive image and the interventionism of the European Union itself in the world."@en1
