"As Vice-Chair of the Committee on Budgetary Control, I am satisfied with the work of the European Investment Bank in 2010. I particularly approve of the bank’s work in relation to funding undertakings in the field of environment protection and, in particular, of the increase in the proportion of project experts whose work focuses primarily on energy efficiency/renewable energy projects from 40% in 2007 to 64% in 2011, and also of the inclusion of this matter in the bank’s priorities for 2011-2013. This is a positive step towards achieving the objectives of a low-carbon economy by 2050.
Furthermore, as a member of the Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety, I think that in the next few years, the bank should give greater emphasis to projects which support the development of public transport and the management of water resources and which promote biodiversity. The European Investment Bank also supports small and medium-sized enterprises in the Central and Eastern European Member States. This support rose by 25%, or EUR 14 billion, in 2010. There was also a 30% increase in the disbursements in lending for convergence goals. This is an important trend, which contributes to the sustainable development of the Union and which should be maintained.
However, the EIB wants to maintain its credibility, and so must strive for maximum transparency in its operations. To this end, greater use should be made of its website, and the language of its documents and its control and monitoring system should be simplified. It is also important to adopt criteria which allow real evaluation of effectiveness in the use of funds, instead of concentrating only on measuring results in terms of quantity."@en1
