==== Transparency ====
The Transparency Policy of the EIB has been criticised by NGOs. In 2004, the British human rights organisation [[Article 19]] issued a memorandum in which it accused the EIB of failing to meet international (including EU) standards on openness. In 2010 the EIB updated its transparency policy following a public consultation. The latest update of the Transparency Policy in 2015 also followed a public consultation.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Aleksandra Antonowicz-Cyglicka, Kadri Green, Anna Roggenbuck, Ana-Maria Seman, Xavier So|date=2016|title=Going Abroad: A critique of the European Investment Bank's External Lending Mandate|url=https://euagenda.eu/upload/publications/untitled-63391-ea.pdf|pages=4, 5}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|date=2019-07-18|title=Refining transparency and responsible investment?: The case of EIB and sustainable finance|url=https://europeanlawblog.eu/2019/07/18/refining-transparency-and-responsible-investment-the-case-of-eib-and-sustainable-financerefining-transparency-and-responsible-investment-the-case-of-eib-and-sustainable-finance/|access-date=2021-04-28|website=European Law Blog|language=en-GB|archive-date=12 April 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210412133523/https://europeanlawblog.eu/2019/07/18/refining-transparency-and-responsible-investment-the-case-of-eib-and-sustainable-financerefining-transparency-and-responsible-investment-the-case-of-eib-and-sustainable-finance/|url-status=dead}}</ref>
