Amendment

12. Notes that almost 60 % of the EIB’s financing in 2025 was directed towards the transition to a low-carbon economy; calls on the EIB to reinforce competitiveness and economic security by enabling a predictable, inclusive, fair and affordable transition, without placing an undue burden on industry and households; underlines that climate and environmental investments can contribute to strengthening Europe’s industrial base, productivity and global competitiveness; supports investments across industrial value chains, including low-carbon technologies, to enable economically sustainable pathways to decarbonisation, where such investments are driven by innovation and have a clear potential to enhance market competitiveness and European strategic autonomy;

Paragraph 20

Motion for a resolution

Amendment

20. Supports the March 2025 EIB Action Plan on strengthening Europe’s security and defence capabilities; welcomes the additional EUR 4 billion in new financing, which represents close to 5 % of total EIB investments in the EU; recalls the shift in short- and medium-term EU priorities, which has placed significant pressure on national budgets with regard to defence and security investments; stresses that, given the EIB mandate to support Union objectives, the EIB should further scale up its engagement in these strategic sectors, while safeguarding its AAA rating; notes that the EIB’s financial support for military mobility, strategic infrastructure and advanced technologies is one of the key factors in driving market integration and reinforcing common European interests; welcomes the updated eligibility criteria enhancing support for small and medium-sized enterprises and start-ups through tailored financial instruments such as venture debt, equity investments and dedicated credit lines; notes that defence spending should ensure strategic coherence and a balanced approach, and should not undermine social and environmental spending or long-standing Union policies;
