Heidi Hautala (Verts/ALE). - (FI) Mr President, the European Investment Bank has excellent aims, including poverty reduction and the notion that the bank’s operations must be in harmony with the EU’s external relations objectives. For this to be genuinely verifiable, it is very important that the bank’s activities are transparent. With this in mind, the Group of the Greens/European Free Alliance tabled Amendments 6 and 7, which emphasise that all assessment documents must be made public and, in addition, that all documents pertaining to different projects must be available to the public. I would like to point out that, since the entry into force of the Treaty of Lisbon, the European Investment Bank, like all other EU agencies, has been bound by the Regulation on public access to documents.
