Our Mission is to further the objectives of the European Union by making long-term finance available for sound investment.
The EIB Group promotes Corporate Responsibility through its mission and activities in the service of the European Union, through the way it implements these and through its internal management.
The EIB attaches great importance to engaging with civil society and building cooperative relations with its representatives.
The Management Committee is the Bank’s permanent collegiate executive body. It has nine members. Under the authority of the President and the supervision of the Board of Directors, it oversees the day-to-day running of the EIB, prepares decisions for Directors and ensures that these are implemented. The President chairs the meetings of the Management Committee. The members of the Management Committee are responsible solely to the Bank; they are appointed by the Board of Governors, on a proposal from the Board of Directors, for a renewable period of six years.
According to the Bank’s Statute, the President is also Chairman of the Board of Directors.
Since the beginning of the Bank's activities, the emoluments of the members of the Management Committee (President and Vice-Presidents of the EIB) have been modelled on those of the President and Vice-Presidents of the European Commission respectively. As decided by the Board of Governors, social benefits for members of the Management Committee follow the same principles of analogy as applied to Commissioners; as a result, certain benefits are the same as for the Staff of the Bank, especially as regards medical insurance.
Date of situation: 15/10/2009
