- Amendment of the EIB’s Statute
Written by an AI from the text voted on. The outcome and the numbers come from Parliament’s official record. The European Parliament approved the proposal to amend the Statute of the European Investment Bank (EIB), which aims to remove the statutory lending limit and replace the maximum 250% gearing ratio with a unanimous decision by the Board of Governors.
