Låntagningen på kapitalmarkederne beløb sig til i alt 28,3 mia, hvoraf 41% fandt sted i form af euroemissioner, hvilket understreger EIB's engagement til fordel for euroen og samtidig Bankens stilling som en af de førende ikkestatslige emittenter på euromarkedet.
As the ElB's shareholders, the EU Member States reconfirmed their support for the Bank's activities by increasing its subscribed capital to EUR 100 billion from 1 January 1999, lifting the lending ceiling to EUR 250 billion and enabling the Bank to continue to develop the scope of its activities.

Speaking to Europe's press in Brussels on 3 February 2000
Allerede fra begyndelsen af 1999 udbød Banken strukturerede for retninger i euroer, der imødekommer nogle investorers særlige behov, ligesom den oprettede emissionsprogrammet EARN for toneangivende emissioner.
As from early 1999, the Bank brought structured operations to the euro market, tailored to investors' specific needs, as well as an EARN issuance facility, a benchmark for jumbo issues.
Formålet med dette program er at tilbyde mar kedet et førsteklasses alternativ til statslige emissioner, der dækker he le spektret af rentesatser og løbe tider og samtidig sikrer transparens og regelmæssighed; dette mål mener vi at have nået, idet vi har skabt en pool på over 24 mia EUR via syv toneangivende emissioner.«
This instrument in particular is designed to offer the market a first-class alternative to government issues, on a transparent and regular basis covering the entire yield and maturity curves. I think we can honestly say we have achieved this goal, having created a pool of more than 24 billion euro through seven benchmarks."

"The review of our operations in 1999 bears ample witness to the achievements of my predecessor. Sir Brian Unwin, who, during the seven years of his leadership (from 1 April 1993 to 31 December 1999), managed to turn the Bank into one of the driving forces behind European Union policy, by participating in the successful launch of the euro, strengthening economic and social cohesion and paving the way for the EU's enlargement.

"I am especially pleased to be able to report to you that the key role played by the Bank is fully acknowl edged by Member States, as well as by the EU institutions with which we cooperate closely.

Disse stærkt arbejdskraftintensive sektorer er af afgørende betydning for vore sam funds fremtid.
These labourintensive sectors are very much the cornerstones for the future of our society.
Derfor agter jeg i den nærmeste fremtid at tage en række initiativer for at styrke den institutionelle dia log med Europa-Kommissionen, Rådet og Europa-Parlamentet og derigennem gøre Bankens indsats mere transparent og forståelig.«
In the circumstances, I feel that we should adopt a more proactive stance. It behoves us to make patently clear how best we can sup port EU policies, while remaining mindful of our inherent constraints.
Jeg agter at styrke den institutionelle dialog med Europa-Kommissionen, Rådet og Europa-Parlamentet for at gøre Bankens indsats mere transparent og forståelig
I intend to strengthen institutional dialogue with the Commission, the Council and the European Parliament with a view to increased openness and to making our actions generally better understood
Den anden kvalitative dimension, jeg skal nævne, er den gradvise udbygning af Bankens aktivitet i disse lande. Efter knap ti års tilstedeværelse i Central- og Østeuropa er Banken nu i stand til at fremme projekter af en helt anden art end dem, som den hidtil har koncentreret sig om ifølge Det Europæiske Råds og disse landes ønsker, nemlig infrastrukturer for transport.
This is why I intend in the near future to take a number of steps to strengthen institutional dialogue with the Commission, the Council and the European Parliament with a view to increased openness and to making our actions generally better understood within the family of EU institutions." tion of the Bank's lending portfolio in the candidate countries: after nearly 10 years' active involvement in Central and Eastern Europe, the EIB is now in a position to foster pro jects in areas outside transport infra structure, the sector which has hitherto formed the backbone of its operations in line with the requests of different European Councils and the countries themselves.
De udgør og vil i lang tid fortsat udgøre en betydelig del af vor aktivitet i disse lande. Sideløbende her med er der imidlertid fremgang i vore finansieringsbidrag til industriprojekter eller projekter for forbedring af livskvaliteten, der i øjeblikket repræsenterer ca. 51% af vore samlede udestående lån i Central- og Østeuropa.
It goes without saying that transport infra structure still occupies a large pro portion of our activity in these coun tries, and will continue to do so for a long time.
Fordi en dynamisk økonomi afhænger af effektive kommunikationsforbindelser, der tager hensyn til miljøet, har EIB endelig fortsat sine bestræbelser for at fremme de transeuropæiske net og miljøet, idet disse sektorer er af fælles interesse.
Aware that a dynamic economy calls for efficient and environmentally sustainable communications, the EIB has stepped up its endeavours on two fronts of particular concern to Europe, namely trans-European net works (TÈNs) and the environment.
I 1999 stillede Banken over 10 mia EUR til rådighed for transeuropæiske net og infrastrukturer af fælles interesse.
Last year, more than 10 billion euro was dedicated to European net works and infrastructure.
I knap et årti har Banken profileret sig som den førende kilde til bankfinansiering af transeuropæiske net.
For the best part often years, we have made our presence known as the prime source of bank funding for TENs.
Sideløbende dermed har den udvidet sin indsats til fordel for miljøbeskyttelse og by miljøet, idet den har udlånt over 6,2 mia dertil i år.«
At the same time, last year the EIB took forward its operations in support of projects safeguarding the natural environment and those enhancing the quality of urban life, with more than 6.2 billion directed to such schemes."

Central and Eastern Europe as well as Cyprus, where the Bank has car ved itself a position as the foremost source of multilateral financing, that the main thrust of activity has been concentrated, both in terms of vol ume, with 2.4 billion euro in 1999, and of quality.
For det første fordi hovedparten af disse finansieringsbidrag (1,5 af de 2,4 mia) blev ydet inden for rammerne af vor finansieringsordning inden tiltrædelsen, dvs. på Bankens egen risiko og uden garanti på fællesskabsbudgettet.
It is particularly significant that the bulk of this financing, namely 1.5 billion out of a total of 2.4 billion, has been advanced by the EIB under our "Pre-Accession Facility", hence at our own risk and without the guarantee of the Community bud get.
Det viser Ban kens vilje til at spille en afgørende rolle i forbindelse med disse landes forberedelser til integrationen i Unionen.
This clearly demonstrates the Bank's resolve to play a pivotal role in preparing these countries for inte gration into the Union.
Jeg har dog også bemærket mig, at visse misforståelser - f.eks. i forbindelse med vilkårene for Kontoret for Bekæmpelse af Svig, OLAF's kontrol af Banken - skyldes, at Banken ikke altid har formået at skabe forståelse for sin særlige stil ling som både europæisk institution, der er fuldt engageret i Unionens tjeneste, og markedso rienteret institution, der må bevare visse aspekter af sin autonomi.
However, I have to admit that cer tain misunderstandings, such as those relating to investigation of the Bank's business by the European Anti-Fraud Office (OLAF) are due to the fact that the EIB has not always succeeded in gaining recognition of its specific status as an organisation with a dual identity: on the one

Som reaktion på EU's særlige fokus på jobskabelse og innova­tion øgede EIB sin finansiering af mindre og mellemstore virk­somheders investeringer. Inden for rammerne af de traditionel­le globallån (kreditlinier til formidlende institutioner) steg långivningen til mindre og mellemstore virksomheders investe­ringer til 2,8 mia, fordelt på 11 500 mindre og mellemstore virksomheder, heraf 80% i udviklingsområder.
The EIB is the leading source of bank finance for Trans-European Networks (TENs) in transport, energy and telecommunications as well as other communications infrastructure networks, crucial for integrating the economies of the European Union and the can didate countries.
Samtidig fremmede Banken innovative og jobskabende mindre og mellemstore virksomheder gennem bevilling af venturekapital via sit venturekapitalvindue for mindre og mellemstore virk­somheder.

Det blev åbnet sidst i 1997 som et led i det Am­sterdamhandlingsprogram, som EIB iværksatte til støtte for Det Europæiske Råds resolution om vækst og beskæftigelse, der blev vedtaget på mødet i Amsterdam.
At the same time, the Bank promoted innovative and jobcreating SMEs through venture capital funding under its "SME venture capital window", This was launched in late 1997 as part of the Bank's "Amsterdam Special Action Programme" (ASAP), set up to support the Amsterdam European Council's resolution on growth and employment.
I juni 1999 godkendte Bankens styrelsesråd en forhøjelse af hensættelsen til dækning af risici i forbindelse med Bankens venturekapitalforretninger til 1 mia EUR, der afholdes af Bankens driftsoverskud.
In June 1999, the ElB's Board of Governors agreed to increase to EUR 1 billion the reserve funded from operating surpluses and designed to cover the risk associated with the Bank's venture capital operations.
Banken har hidtil givet tilsagn om over 1 mia EUR til fremme af ca. 40 venturekapitalfonde overalt i EU, heraf 470 mio i 1999.
So far, the Bank has approved over EUR 1 billion in support of some 40 venture capital funds throughout the Union, of which EUR 470 million in 1999.

En del heraf gik gennem Den Europæiske Finansieringsordning for Teknologi.
Part of this was channelled through the European Technology Facility (ETF).
Denne ordning, der administreres af Bankens søs­terorganisation Den Europæiske Investeringsfond, tjener til finan­siering af fonde, der især stiller egenkapital til rådighed for høj­teknologiske mindre og mellem­store virksomheder.
The ETF, managed by the Bank's affiliate European Investment Fund (EIF), acts as a fund of funds specialising in providing equity for high-tech SMEs.
I 1999 for­doblede EIB sit indskud i Finan­sieringsordningen til 250 mio EUR.
In 1999, the EIB doubled its funding for the ETF to EUR 250 million.

Med henblik på udmøntning af EU's politik for fremme af investeringer i den menneskelige kapital ydede EIB direkte lån på 570 mio EUR i de »sociale« sektorer uddannelse og sundhed.
In support of EU policies to promote investment in human capital, the EIB lent EUR 570 million in direct loans for projects in the "social" sectors of health and education.
Hovedparten heraf gik til uddannelsesinfrastrukturer og hospitaler, hvoraf mange fremmede nationale programmer og nogle gennemførtes af partnerskaber med offentlig og privat deltagelse.
The majority concerned educational infrastructure and hospitals, many of these in support of national schemes and pro grammes and some involving Public Private Partnerships.
Desuden finansierede Banken mindre projekter via globallånsordningen, således at den samlede långivning i ud dannelses- og sundhedssektoren beløb sig til 1,2 mia EUR.
The Bank also financed small-scale projects through global loan arrangements, bringing total lending in health and education to EUR 1.2 billion.
Indsatsen til fordel for den menneskelige kapital i uddannelsesog sundhedssektoren blev indledt ifølge Bankens Amsterdamhandlingsprogram.
EIB activity in support of the human-capital-related sectors of health and education developed as part of the Bank's "Amsterdam Special Action Programme".
Efter styrelsesrådet for Bankens møde i juni 1999 blev investeringer i uddannelses- og sundhedssektoren imidlertid integreret i Bankens sædvanlige långivning.
Following the ElB's Board of Governors meeting of June 1999, invest ment in health and education was integrated into the Bank's regular lending activity.
Banken styrkede sin sagkundskab på disse forholdsvis nye områder gennem et samarbejde med OECD i uddannelsessektoren og med WHO i sundhedssektoren.
The EIB reinforced its expertise in these relatively new fields through cooperation with the OECD in the educational sector and with the WHO in the health sector.
Desuden deltager den aktivt i European Observatory on Health Care Systems, der sigter mod at samle erfaring med og udbrede anvendelsen af politiske til tag af relevans for sundhedssektoren.
It is also actively involved in the European Observatory on Health Care Systems, which aims to accumulate experience with and disseminate public policy tools relevant to the health sector.
EIB fortsatte sin betydelige långivning til projekter for miljøbeskyttelse og forbedring af bymiljøet.
The Bank continued its high level of lending for projects protecting and improving the natural and urban environment.
Af de direkte lån på 4,5 mia EUR gik ca. 45% til projekter for vand- og affaldsbehandling, over 40% til for bedring af bymiljøet - ¡sær kollektiv transport og boligbyggeri - og restbeløbet i vid udstrækning til bekæmpelse af luftforurening. Desu-

I 1999 nød specielt projekter i papirindustrien og den elektroniske industri godt af EIB's finansieringsbidrag.
Furthermore, many other pro jects financed by the EIB have also benefited the environment, in particular investment in more rational energy use, more efficient infrastructure schemes, including small-scale projects by local authorities, and in the industrial sector through the introduction of less polluting plant and advanced technologies.
En række andre EIB-finansierede in vesteringer har imidlertid også gav net miljøet, især projekter for ratio nalisering af energianvendelsen, pro jekter for etablering af mere effektive infrastrukturer - herunder mindre initiativer, der gennemføres af lokale myndigheder - og industriprojekter for ibrugtagning af mindre forurenende anlæg og højteknologi.
