Report from the Commission to the European Parliament and the Council on 2012 EIB external activity with EU budgetary guarantee

Decision 1080/2011/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 October 2011 granting an EU guarantee to the European Investment Bank (EIB) against losses under loans and loan guarantees for projects outside the Union (the “Decision” or the "EU guarantee") requires the Commission to report annually on EIB financing operations carried out under the EU guarantee, building on yearly reports provided by EIB.

The present report also provides a summary of the own risk operations carried out by the EIB in 2012 in the regions covered by the Decision. Following the first full year of implementation of the new EIB Results Measurement (REM) framework, this report provides more detailed information on expected results based on EIB financing operations approved in 2012. The EIB operations in Africa, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) as well as in Overseas Countries and Territories (OCT) are covered in a separate annual report.

More detailed information and statistical tables on the above activities, including at project, sector, country and regional level, are provided in the attached Staff Working Document (the “SWD”). Actual results achieved based on case studies on operations under implementation or completed are presented in the SWD.
