This case study summarises the circumstances of the complaints against the project, the conclusions of the EIB Complaints Mechanism, the outcomes and recommendations for the next review of the EIB Group Complaints Mechanism Policy.
In this case study, we lay bare inefficiencies of the EIB and EBRD grievance mechanisms using a real-life example – the Budapest Airport Expansion Project – and make recommendations for the next review of the EIB Group Complaints Mechanism Policy.
In this report, we examine the alignment of the EIB and EBRD grievance mechanisms with the effectiveness criteria for the design and assessment of non-judicial complaints mechanisms set out in the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights.
Compared to other multilateral development banks like the World Bank and the Asian Development Bank, the EIB lags significantly in the timely and proactive disclosure of project-related data.
Despite environmental and social safeguards in place, projects financed by public development banks all too often violate human rights.
