Reports regarding projects in Ukraine, Moldova and Georgia
Dear European Investment Bank,
Under the right of access to documents in the EU treaties, as developed in Regulation 1049/2001, I am requesting documents which contain the following information:
All reports and other documents from EIB funded projects in Moldova, Ukraine and Georgia from 2009-2022.
That include due diligence reports before the launch of a project. The general project report, including a description of proces, finances and tender.
It also includes the Audit reports made by EIB or somebody hired by the EIB.
Yours faithfully,
Lise Møller Schilder
Dear Ms. Møller,
Thank you for your e-mail and interest in the European Investment Bank (EIB), the long-term financing institution of the European Union.
We hereby confirm receipt of your query of 13 June 2023 received via the AsktheEU website, which is being handled in line with the provisions of the EIB Group Transparency Policy. We will revert to you as soon as possible.
Many thanks for your kind understanding.
Yours sincerely,
Infodesk Team

Dear Madam,
We refer to your message of 13 June 2023 addressed to the European
Investment Bank (EIB) via the AsktheEU.org website, requesting access to
documents related to EIB funded projects in Moldova, Ukraine and Georgia
from 2009-2022. We also refer to our acknowledgement of receipt of the
same date. Your request has been handled in accordance with the provisions
of the EIB Group Transparency Policy (EIB-TP)[1]^^[1], which applies to
such requests addressed to the EIB.
We would first like to inform you that, in line with the EIB-TP, publicly
available information and documents regarding all EIB funded projects,
including those in Moldova, Ukraine and Georgia can be found on the EIB
website[2]^^[2]. These can be searched by country, date, sector and
status. This includes project summaries, as well as the relevant
environmental and social documents also published in the EIB Public
Register such as the Environmental and Social Data Sheets (ESDS) of the
projects.
While the above information already addresses, at least partially, your
request, we note that your request for “all reports and other documents”,
including “due diligence reports before the launch of a project, the
general project report, including a description of process, finances and
tender” is unfortunately too broad and not sufficiently precise to allow
the EIB to identify what additional and specific documents or information
you would like to obtain. Kindly also note that each project generates its
own set of documents which, depending of the number of projects concerned,
can result in several hundreds of documents. Therefore, and in line with
Article 5.19 of the EIB-TP, we would kindly invite you to further clarify
or further limit the scope of your request by indicating, for example,
what particular EIB funded projects and/or what particular aspects of
these projects would interest you[3]^^[3].
You can address your clarifications and any further request you may have
directly to the EIB via its Information Desk ([4][email address]) or its
Civil Society Division ([5][email address]), who will handle them in
line with the EIB-TP. Requests for details regarding the projects can also
be addressed directly to the project promoters who are responsible for the
implementation of the projects.
We hope you find this information useful and remain at your disposal
should you need any further clarifications[6]^^[4].
Yours sincerely,
Infodesk Team
European Investment Bank
