The task of the European Investment Bank shall be to contribute, by having recourse to the capital
markets and utilising its own resources, to the balanced and steady development of the internal
market in the Union's interest. For this purpose the European Investment Bank shall, operating on a
non-profit-making basis, in particular grant loans and give guarantees which facilitate the financing
of the following projects in all sectors of the economy:
(a) projects for developing less-developed regions
(b) projects for modernising or converting undertakings or for developing fresh activities called for
by the establishment or functioning of the internal market, where these projects are of such a size
or nature that they cannot be entirely financed by the various means available in the individual
Member States;
(c) projects of common interest to several Member States which are of such a size or nature that they
cannot be entirely financed by the various means available in the individual Member States.
In carrying out its task, the European Investment Bank shall facilitate the financing of investment
programmes in conjunction with assistance from the Structural Funds and other Union financial
instruments.
