THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Decision No 466/2014/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 April 2014 granting an EU guarantee to the European Investment Bank against losses under financing operations supporting investment projects outside the Union, (1), and in particular Article 4(2) thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | There has been some progress in the economic, social, environmental and political areas in Belarus since the adoption of Decision No 466/2014/EU. |

(1)

There has been some progress in the economic, social, environmental and political areas in Belarus since the adoption of Decision No 466/2014/EU.

| (2) | In January 2015, Coreper endorsed a list of 29 measures to enhance the EU's policy of critical engagement with Belarus. One of these measures concerns the review by the EU of its restrictive approach to European Investment Bank (EIB) lending in Belarus. |

(5)

Tangible steps taken by Belarus to respect universal fundamental freedoms, rule of law and human rights would remain key for the shaping of the Union's future policy towards Belarus.

| (6) | Given the political developments in Belarus, financial support from the Union and the international community, including through the relaxation of restrictions on EIB activities in Belarus, could help the country to develop its private sector, improve its infrastructure and foster productivity growth, thus contributing to improve the dynamism and medium-term growth performance of Belarussian economy. Moreover, EIB financing operations which promote the application of the appropriate environmental standards should support the environmentally sound and sustainable development of Belarus. |

Moreover, EIB financing operations which promote the application of the appropriate environmental standards should support the environmentally sound and sustainable development of Belarus.

| (7) | Therefore, the Commission, with the involvement of the European External Action Service, has assessed that the overall economic, social, environmental and political situation allows adding Belarus to Annex III to Decision No 466/2014/EU, which sets out the list of countries eligible for EIB financing under Union guarantee. |
