For official use only
NEGOTIATIONS FOR THE ACCESSION OF SPAIN
Participation by Spain  
in the
EUROPEAN INVESTMENT BANK
(Commission Communication to the Council)

1. The prospect of Spain's entry into the Community makes it  
necessary to decide on the terms for that country's contribution  
to the capital of the European Investment Bank and membership of its  
various organs, and to amend accordingly certain clauses of the  
Protocol on the Statute of the European Investment Bank which is  
annexed to the EEC Treaty.
In the memorandum (second revised version) it recently sent to the Council and the  
Commission, the EIB looked at the financial and legal aspects of  
Spanish accession and suggested what it considers a suitable approach  
and also.a number of consequent adjustments to be made.
The EIB's suggestions are in line with the opinions expressed by the  
Commission itself in the 1978 "Fresco" regarding the integration of  
the new Member States into the various Community institutions. They  
are also consistent with the proposals the Commission is  
presenting to the Council on the general institutional implications  
of accession, and in particular on Spain's place in the institutions  
in relation to the present Member States.
2. Accordingly, the Commission is able to endorse the EIB's  
suggestions in full and proposes that the Community present a  
statement to the Spanish delegation on that basis.
