Text tabled : A7-0058/2012

  Laima Liucija Andrikienė (PPE), in writing. – I voted in favour of this resolution on the 2010 EIB annual report. I support the bank’s approach of placing importance on measuring the results not only in terms of quantity, but also in terms of quality, and the fact that it is crucial to establish a clear link between inputs and results in order to assess the effectiveness of the system. I welcome the rapporteur’s recommendation to the EIB to focus more on granting EU support to EU SMEs and efforts for transparency and on better accountability for the ‘global loans’ programme. I agree that the EIB group should continue reporting annually to Parliament on its financing activities. I support the cooperation between the EIB and the Commission in developing innovative financial instruments to promote the objectives of the Europe 2020 strategy and climate action needs.
