Why your views matter
As enshrined in the EIB Group Transparency Policy, the EIB is committed to engage, on a voluntary basis, in formal public consultations on selected policies. This participatory process allows the EIB to benefit from the expertise of a wide range of individuals and organisations and provides the opportunity for external stakeholders to participate in the preparation and review of policy documents, reinforcing the transparency and accountability of the EIB.
The Bank’s current Transport Lending Policy (TLP) was approved by the Board of Directors in December 2011, following the adoption of the European Commission’s White Paper on transport earlier that same year. The revised TLP will focus on setting the priorities for the EIB’s support to the transport sector, within the eligibilities approved as part of the EIB Group Climate Bank Roadmap. Through the revised Policy and as a green and technological revolution sweeps across the transport sector, the EIB stands ready to support the green transition towards a new transport system, one that is both green and efficient, but also accessible and safe – a truly sustainable transport system.
Against this backdrop and following major changes in the Bank’s external policy environment and own strategic orientation, it is the right time for the EIB to review the current TLP.

It outlines the new considerations the EIB has made regarding the transport sector and how they align with the EIB Group’s Climate Bank Roadmap. The document is also available in French and German.

Informational webinar
As part of this public consultation, EIB held an informational event on October 14, with a series of 8 breakout sessions. The sessions covered a number of transport sectors and themes before a summary of each session was given at the end of the day.
The sessions were open to all members of the public. They enabled the EIB to share information about the consultation and hold a direct dialogue between EIB staff and interested stakeholders. The sessions were held in English.
In each session, a short presentation by the EIB was followed by a dialogue between stakeholders and a panel of EIB experts about the issues at stake within the review. The slides shown at each event and summaries of the discussions can be found in the table below.
The EIB would like to thank all those who participated in, and contributed to, the public consultation informational event, and invite their written contributions to be submitted by October 29, 2021.
