The European Investment Bank (EIB) has long been seeking to take a more significant role in the EU’s overseas development effort. But it has also been resisting calls to upgrade its policy on the environmental, social and human rights ramifications of the projects it supports.

As the EU’s house bank, the EIB must guarantee the right of all citizens to access information held by public bodies.
