June 5, 2007

While revealing that the EIB is able to deliver a participatory process in the formulation of the Public Disclosure Policy (PDP), at the same time the report sheds new light on the EIB’s incompliance with European Community rules on access to information as well as missing obligations towards the Aarhus Convention on access to information, public participation and access to justice in environmental matters.

We the NGOs who attended the EBRD AGM in Kazan on May 20-21, 2007 would like to offer a suggestion for the use of the EBRD record profit of Euro 1,7 billion to stimulate energy efficiency in our region. We believe that since the EBRD was created to assist the countries of Eastern Europe and Central Asia in their transition, the profit should be used to create public good in the region.
