different services of the Bank covering the financial, economic,
technical, climate environmental and social aspects of the project, and as
such, the EIB does not keep a unified list of all documents mentioned in

well as legislation to protect personal data. National regulations and

Dear Mr. Katrupp,

Thank you for your message of 6 December 2025 sent to the European
Investment Bank (EIB) via the AsktheEU.org website, refining your access
to documents request concerning the Helax Istmo project in Mexico. We also
refer to our acknowledgement of receipt of 8 December 2025. Your request
has been assessed in line with the EIB Group Transparency Policy (EIB-TP)
.

As an investor in the Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners Growth Markets
Fund II , the EIB evaluates the fund manager’s policies, governance, and
environmental, social, and governance (ESG) systems. The Bank does not
conduct Environmental and Social Due Diligence (ESDD) on individual assets
within the fund’s portfolio. Consequently, the EIB does not hold
project-specific documents such as:

•            Environmental and social assessments or internal ESDD reports
on Helax Istmo

•            Correspondence with Mexican authorities regarding the project

•            Internal financing or decision documents relating to Helax
Istmo

In light of the above, the EIB does not possess, and therefore cannot
disclose , documents falling within the scope of your refined request.

We hope this information is helpful and remain at your disposal should you
need any further clarifications .

Yours sincerely,

EIB Infodesk Team
