By now the EIB is the biggest of the Multilateral Development Banks, the value of approved loans rose from EURO 35 Billion in 1999 to EURO 41 Billion in 2000 exceeding the financial size of the World Bank.

The future lending of the EIB outside the EU is expected to increase as the EIB is given a leading role in the pre-accession fund for the EU candidate countries in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) and the reconstruction of the infrastructure in South Eastern Europe trough the Balkan Task Force.

According to an independent study to be released next Monday in Brussels, the European Investment Bank (EIB) is lending 30 Million Euro to co-finance a water extraction scheme in the West Bank that will further contribute to the irreversible drawdown of an Aquifer situated exclusively under the Palestine Authority territory.
Although the EIB claims that the investment will provide adequate drinking water for up to 350.000 Palestinians in the southern part of the West Bank, in fact the longer-term consequences have not been taken properly into account.
Even the European Parliament, in its statement approved this week on the EIB Annual Report 1999, complains of not being informed sufficiently in order to guarantee that the EIB is performing in accordance with the Unions policy goals and social and environmental standards.

The Treaty on European Union was signed on February 7, 1992 in the southern town of the Netherlands, by whose name it is generally known.
A Directive on the accounts of bank branches, which entered into force on January 1, 1991, relieves bank branches with non-EC headquarters from having to publish their own annual accounts, and permits instead their publishing the institution's overall financial statements, providing they use accounting standards which are equivalent to the EC-standards.
In the field of investments services, there is a pro-posal for a Directive which, like the second Banking Directive, would provide for a single license for financial institutions wishing to provide investment services in the Community with home state control, and for the principle of mutual recognition of minimal prudential and supervisory standards.
