In 2003 the European Union formulated a policy involving preferential relations with the countries on its borders to the south and east, the European Neighbourhood Policy.
V letu 2003 je Evropska unija zasnovala politiko prednostnih odnosov z državami na mejah proti jugu in vzhodu, in sicer evropsko sosedsko politiko.
The EIB’s activities in the Mediterranean have, since 2002, come under FEMIP.
Dejavnosti EIB v Sredozemlju od leta 2002 potekajo v okviru sklada FEMIP.
In line with the Barcelona Process – a wide framework of relations between EU Member States and Mediterranean partner countries – and the European Neighbourhood Policy, FEMIP’s remit is to promote the economic development of nine Mediterranean countries by investing in two main areas: support for the private sector, the driving force behind sustainable growth, and the creation of an investment-friendly environment by means of efficient infrastructure and appropriate banking
Skladno z barcelonskim procesom – širokim okvirjem odnosov med državami članicami EU in sredozemskimi partnerskimi državami – ter evropsko sosedsko politiko je naloga sklada FEMIP, da spodbuja gospodarski razvoj sredozemskih držav z vlaganji v dve glavni področji: podporo zasebnemu sektorju, ki je gonilna sila trajnostne rasti, ter oblikovanje naložbam prijaznega okolja z učinkovito infrastrukturo in ustreznimi bančnimi sistemi. FEMIP se je uveljavil kot glavni
While the total volume of operations carried out in 2007 (EUR 1.4bn) was slightly higher than in 2006, the type of project supported was very different, with 68% being private sector projects, compared with 30% in 2006.
Medtem ko je bil skupni obseg poslov, izvedenih v letu 2007 (1,4 milijarde EUR), nekoliko višji kot v letu 2006, pa so bile vrste podprtih projektov zelo drugačne, saj je bilo v letu 2007 kar 68 odstotkov projektov iz zasebnega sektorja v primerjavi s 30 odstotki v letu 2006.
This proportion of support for the private sector had never been achieved before by FEMIP and reflects a strategic choice in line with the recommendations of the European Council.
FEMIP še nikoli prej ni dosegel takšnega deleža podpore zasebnemu sektorju, kar izraža strateško izbiro, skladno s priporočili Evropskega sveta.
More than 44% of the total volume of operations involved support for small andmedium-sized en-
Več kot 44 odstotkov skupnega obsega poslov je bilo prek lokalnih bank namenjenih malim in srednjim podjetjem v Jordaniji, Libanonu, Siriji in Tu-
Israel, bringing its support for water infrastructure and sanitation to 8% of the lending volume.
Poročilo o dejavnosti in družbeni odgovornosti nje v Izraelu, s čimer je svojo pomoč za vodno infrastrukturo in sanitarno ureditev zvišal na 8 odstotkov skupnega obsega posojil.
Also promoting the private sector, 3% of the total amount consisted of equity stakes in companies, as in Algeria, or in investment funds, in Lebanon, Morocco and Tunisia.
Spodbudno za zasebni sektor je tudi dejstvo, da so bili 3 odstotki celotnega zneska kapitalski vložki v podjetja, kot na primer v Alžiriji, ali v investicijske sklade, kot na primer v Libanonu, Maroku in Tuniziji.
With regard to the geographical breakdown, 51% of the total volume was allocated to the Maghreb region (8 projects, totalling EUR 728m), 47% to the Near East (7 projects, amounting to EUR 680m), while three projects had a regional dimension.
Glede na geografsko razčlenitev je bilo 51 odstotkov skupnega obsega posojil namenjenih območju Maghreb (8 projektov v skupni vrednosti 728 milijonov EUR), 47 odstotkov Bližnjemu vzhodu (7 projektov v skupni vrednosti 680 milijonov EUR), medtem ko so bili trije projekti regionalne narave.
For instance, the Altermed investment fund, in which FEMIP invested EUR 11m in December 2007, is dedicated to SMEs in both Tunisia and Morocco.
Tako je investicijski sklad Altermed, v katerega je FEMIP decembra 2007 vložil 11 milijonov EUR, namenjen malim in srednjim podjetjem v Tuniziji in Maroku.
FEMIP also continued to support major infrastruc- tureprojectsinthepartnercountries,withEUR465m (32% of the total) being provided for energy infrastructure, with the construction of two natural gas-fired power stations in Egypt, the optimisation of hydroelectricity generating capacity in Morocco, and the expansion of the Transmed gas pipeline, connecting Algeria to Italy via Tunisia.
FEMIP je še naprej podpiral pomembne infrastrukturne projekte v partnerskih državah, pri čemer je 465 milijonov EUR (32 odstotkov skupnega zneska) namenil energetski infrastrukturi: omembe vredni so gradnja dveh elektrarn na zemeljski plin v Egiptu, optimizacija zmogljivosti pridobivanja hidroenergije v Maroku in širitev plinovoda Transmed, ki Alžirijo prek Tunizije povezuje z Italijo.
The last of these projects is one of the priority energy TENs.
Plinovod je eno od prednostnih vseevropskih energetskih omrežij.
Transport infrastructure accounted for 13% of the total, with the construction of a section of motorway linking Fez and Oujda in Morocco, completing the country’s motorway network.
Za prometno infrastrukturo je FEMIP namenil 13 odstotkov vseh sredstev. Najpomembnejši projekt je bila gradnja avtocestnega odseka, ki povezuje kraja Fez in Oujda v Maroku, s tem pa zaključuje gradnjo avtocestnega omrežja v državi.
FEMIP also backed the construction of a desalination plant in

In addition to loans and private equity, FEMIP has continued to provide technical assistance to support promoters during all stages of the project cycle.These operations are financed by the FEMIP Support Fund, which uses non-repayable aid granted by the European Commission.
Poleg posojil in zasebnega kapitala je FEMIP še naprej zagotavljal tehnično pomoč nosilcem projektov v vseh fazah projektnega cikla. Te dejavnosti financira iz svojega podpornega sklada, ki uporablja nepovratna sredstva Evropske komisije.
In 2007, 24 contracts were signed for technical assistance operations in the Mediterranean partner countries totalling EUR 17.5m.
V letu 2007 je bilo v sredozemskih partnerskih državah podpisanih 24 pogodbo tehnični podpori v skupni vrednosti 17,5 milijona EUR.
Increasingly sophisticated financial structures
Vse bolj razvite finančne strukture
Working with Mediterranean universities
Sodelovanje z univerzami v Sredozemlju
In qualitative terms, 2007 was also a year of firsts.
Tudi kakovostno je bilo leto 2007 leto začetkov.
For the first time, FEMIP was involved in preparing and financing two public-private partnerships, in Israel with the desalination plant in Hadera, near Tel Aviv, and the Tanger-Med port in Morocco, a loan expected to be signed in 2008.
FEMIP je prvič sodeloval v pripravi in financiranju dveh javno-zasebnih partnerstev, in sicer izraelskega projekta gradnje obrata za razsoljevanje v Haderi blizu Tel Aviva in maroškega pristanišča Tan- ger-Med, kjer bo posojilo verjetno podpisano leta 2008.
Here, it was able to pass on to its two Mediterranean partners the expertise developed by the EIB in this field within the European Union.
V teh dveh projektih je svojim sredozemskim partnerjem lahko posredoval strokovno znanje, ki ga je na tem področju razvila EIB v okviru Evropske unije.
In 2007, the European Investment Bank and UNIMED, the Mediterranean Universities Union, signed a “Memorandum of Understanding”.
V letu 2007 sta Evropska investicijska banka in UNIMED, Zveza sredozemskih univerz, podpisali sporazum o soglasju.
UNIMED is an association of 74 universities from the countries bordering the Mediterranean and aims to promote research in the areas of conservation and enhancement of the cultural heritage, the environment, health, the economy and new communication technologies, in order to contribute to the political and economic dimensions of relations between the European Union and its Mediterranean partner countries.
UNIMED združuje 74 univerzi z držav, ki mejijo na Sredozemlje. Spodbuja raziskave na področju ohranitve in obogatitve kulturne dediščine, okolja, zdravja, gospodarstva in novih komunikacijskih tehnologij ter skuša tako prispevati k političnim in gospodarskim razsežnostim odnosov med Evropsko unijo in sredozemskimi partnerskimi državami.
FEMIP also initiated and promoted the first privately managed start-up fund in Tunisia.
Sklad FEMIP je dal tudi pobudo in spodbudo za prvi zasebno upravljani sklad za zagon podjetij v Tuniziji.
The “Phenicia Seed Fund” is focused on innovative Tunisian companies that are in the process of being set up or have been established for less than five years.
Sklad »Phenica Seed Fund« se osredotoča na inovativna tunizijska podjetja, ki so bodisi v zagonski fazi ali delujejo manj kot pet let.
This operation is financed under the FEMIP Trust Fund (FTF).
Dejavnost je financirana v okviru Skrbniškega sklada FEMIP (FEMIP Trust Fund).
Established in 2004 with resources made available by 15 Member States and the European Commission, the purpose of the Trust Fund is to direct resources to operations in certain priority sectors in order to foster private sector development in the region. In 2007, the FTF Assembly of Donors approved

This brought the total number of approved operations to 18 for a total volume of EUR 6.9m.
S tem se je skupno število odobrenih poslov povečalo na 18, njihova skupna vrednost pa na 6,9 milijona EUR.
Strategicmeetings and studies
Strateška srečanja in raziskave
A number of meetings were held in 2007 to continue the dialogue initiated under FEMIP between the people of Europe and the Mediterranean region.
V letu 2007 je potekala vrsta srečanj, namenjenih nadaljevanju dialoga med prebivalci Evrope in prebivalci sredozemske regije, ki ga je začel ravno FEMIP.
First, at the institutional level the FEMIP Ministerial Council met in Cyprus on 14 May, while the FEMIP Committee, which is made up of representatives of the European and Mediterranean countries and is responsible for reviewing FEMIP’s strategy, met on 6 February, 3 April and 20 November.
Na institucionalni ravni se je 14. maja na Cipru sestal svet ministrov FEMIP-a, medtem ko se je odbor FEMIP, ki ga sestavljajo predstavniki evropskih in sredozemskih držav ter je odgovoren za spreminjanje strategije FEMIP, sestal 6. februarja, 3. aprila in 20. novembra.
In addition, two studies financed by the FEMIP Trust Fund were published on the Bank’s website.
Poleg tega sta bili na spletni strani banke objavljeni dve raziskavi, ki ju je financiral skrbniški sklad FEMIP.
The first one, entitled “Study on improving the efficiency of workers’ remittances in Mediterranean countries”, was presented at a FEMIP Conference held in Paris in March 2007, which brought together associations and representatives of civil society and the private sector from both sides of the Mediterranean.
Prva z naslovom »Raziskava o izboljšanju nagrajevanja delavcev v sredozemskih državah« je bila predstavljena na FEMIP-ovi konferenci v Parizu marca 2007. Udeležili so se je združenja in predstavniki civilne družbe in zasebnega sektorja z obeh strani Sredozemlja.
The second, published in June 2007, is a study on private savings in Morocco, which recommends concrete measures for mobilising those savings more effectively.
Druga raziskava – »Zasebno varčevanje v Maroku« – je bila objavljena junija 2007 in priporoča konkretne ukrepe za učinkovitejše mobiliziranje varčevanja.
Russia and the Eastern Neighbours
Rusija in vzhodne sosede
Under the new 2007-2013 mandate, EUR 3.7bn in EIB loans is available to finance investment in Russia, Ukraine and – subject to future Council agreement – Belarus in Eastern Europe, and in Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia in the Southern Caucasus.
EIB ima v okviru novega mandata 2007–2013 na voljo 3,7 milijarde EUR za financiranje naložb v Rusiji, Ukrajini in – odvisno od prihodnjega soglasja Sveta – Belorusiji v vzhodni Evropi ter Armeniji, Azerbajdžanu in Gruziji na južnem Kavkazu.
The EIB will provide longterm loans for projects that are of significant EU interest in the transport, energy, telecommunications and environmental infrastructure sectors.
Banka bo zagotovila dolgoročna posojila za projekte, ki so pomembni za EU v sektorjih prometa, energetike, telekomunikacij in okoljske infrastrukture.
Priority will be given to projects on extended major transEuropean network routes, projects with cross-border implications for one or more Member States and major projects favouring regional integration through increased connectivity.
Prednost bodo imeli projekti na razširjenih najpomembnejših trasah vseevropskih omrežjih, projekti s čezmejnimi vplivi na eno ali več držav članic ter pomembnejši projekti, ki spodbujajo integracijo regije prek boljših zvez.
In the environmental sector, the EIB attaches priority in Russia, in particular, to projects that come under the Northern Dimension Environmental Partnership, a cooperative effort involving the European Commission, the Russian Federation, the EBRD, the Nordic Investment Bank and the EIB, as well as a number of donor countries, to tackle the most pressing environmental problems in north-west Russia.
V okoljskem sektorju daje EIB prednost predvsem Rusiji, še zlasti projektom v okviru okoljskega partnerstva Severna dimenzija, ki združuje Evropsko komisijo, Rusko federacijo, EBRD, Nordijsko investicijsko banko, EIB in vrsto donatorskih držav, namenjen pa je spopadanju z najbolj nujnimi okoljskimi težavami v severozahodni Rusiji.
In the energy sector, strategic energy supplies and energy transport projects are of particular importance.
V energetskem sektorju so še zlasti pomembni projekti strateške energetske oskrbe in prenosa energentov.
EIB financing operations in Eastern Europe, the Southern Caucasus and Russia are carried out in close cooperation with the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) according to the terms set out in a tripartite Memorandum of Understanding between the European Commission, the EIB and the EBRD, which aims to bring together the expertise, capacity and comparative advantages of each participant for the successful implementation of the European Neighbourhood Policy and the EU-Russia Strategic Partnership.
EIB izvaja posle financiranja v vzhodni Evropi, na južnem Kavkazu in v Rusiji v tesnem sodelovanju z Evropsko banko za obnovo in razvoj (EBRD), skladno z določili tristranskega memoranduma o soglasju, ki so ga podpisale Evropska komisija, EIB in EBRD.
The objective is to strengthen prosperity, stability and security.
Soglasje se nanaša na združitev strokovnega znanja, zmogljivosti in primerjalnih prednosti podpisnic v prizadevanju za uspešno izvedbo evropske sosedske politike ter strateškega partnerstva med
The first EIB loan for an environmental project in Russia, in St Petersburg, dates back to 2003.
Prvo posojilo EIB za okoljski projekt v Rusiji je bilo leta 2003 dodeljeno St. Peterburgu.
Two further environmental protection loans were signed in the following years, for projects also located in St Petersburg, for a total of EUR 85m.
V naslednjih letih sta bili podpisani še dve posojilni pogodbi s področja varovanja okolja v skupni vrednosti 85 milijonov EUR, prav tako na območju St. Peterburga.
Activity and Corporate Responsibility Report also saw the EIB become operational in Moldova, where it signed its first financing operation, which was aimed at improving road connections with the European Union.
Poročilo o dejavnosti in družbeni odgovornosti godbo za obnovo avtoceste na vseevropskem koridorju med Kijevom in Brodyjem. V letu 2007 je začela delovati tudi v Moldaviji, kjer je podpisala prvo pogodbo o financiranju projekta, ki naj bi izboljšal cestne povezave z Evropsko unijo.
The EIB lent EUR 30m for rehabilitation of roads linking the capital Chisinau to the EU border.
Posojilo v višini 30 milijonov EUR je zagotovila za obnovo cest, ki povezujejo glavno mesto Chisinau z mejo z EU.
This project, piloted by the World Bank (WB) is co-financed by the WB, the EIB and the EBRD.
Projekt, ki ga vodi Svetovna banka, sofinancirajo Svetovna banka, EIB in EBRD.
The WB and EBRD are also providing loans to rehabilitate the main North-South road axis in the country. The loans are closely coordinated with the International Monetary Fund and the European Commission.
Svetovna banka in EBRD zagotavljata tudi posojila za obnovo glavne cestne na osi sever–jug v državi, ki sta jih natančno uskladili z Mednarodnim denarnim skladom in Evropsko komisijo.
The aim of this project is to build a toll motorway across thewestern part of the city of St Petersburg, linking the northern and southern parts of the ring road and providing a direct connection to the city’s Grand Port and with Finland.
Cilj tega projekta je uvedba plačljive avtoceste v zahodnem delu St. Peterburga, ki bo povezala severne in južne dele cestnega obroča in zagotovila neposredno povezavo z glavnim pristaniščem tega mesta in Finsko.
The Bank became operational in Ukraine in 2006 and in 2007 signed its first loan in that country in support of motorway rehabilitation on the PanEuropean Corridor between Kiev and Brody. 2007
Banka je v Ukrajini začela delovati leta 2006, leta 2007 pa je v tej državi podpisala prvo posojilno po-
In order for the EIB to become active in these new countries, Framework Agreements must be concluded between the Bank and the country concerned.
Da bi banka lahko začela delovati v posameznih novih državah, mora z njimi skleniti okvirne sporazume.
In the Southern Caucasus, such a Framework Agreement was signed with Georgia in June 2007 and with Armenia early in 2008, while negotiations with Azerbaijan are still ongoing, with a view to signing an agreement in 2008.
Na južnem Kavkazu je tak sporazum že podpisala z Gruzijo junija 2007, z Armenijo na začetku leta 2008, medtem ko pogajanja z Azerbajdžanom še potekajo, sporazum pa naj bi bil podpisan v letu 2008.
ACP, Asian and Latin American partner countries
Afriške, karibske in pacifiške ter azijske in latinskoameriške partnerske države
The European Investment Bank is instrumental in implementing the EU’s development and economic cooperation policy in countries outside the Union.
Evropska investicijska banka pomaga izvajati politiko razvoja in gospodarskega sodelovanja EU tudi v državah zunaj Unije.
It has been an active development partner in many African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) countries since 1963 and in the Overseas Countries and Territories (OCTs) since the 1970s.
Kot razvojna partnerica deluje v številnih afriških, karibskih in pacifiških državah (državah AKP) že od leta 1963, v čezmorskih državah in ozemljih (ČDO) pa od 70. let prejšnjega stoletja.
The Bank’s operations in these regions contribute to sustainable social and economic development and poverty alleviation.
S posli v teh območjih prispeva k trajnostnemu družbenogospodarskemu razvoju in zmanjševanju revščine.
In Asia and Latin America (ALA), EIB activity dates back to 1993.
V Aziji in Latinski Ameriki (ALA) segajo dejavnosti EIB v leto 1993.
Here the focus has been on economic cooperation and projects of mutual interest to the recipient country and the EU.
Tu se banka osredotoča na gospodarsko sodelovanje in projekte, ki so vzajemno koristni tako za državo prejemnico kot za EU.
More recently, environmental protection and energy security have come to the fore.
V zadnjem času sta v ospredju predvsem varovanje okolja in zanesljivost energetske oskrbe.
Development finance for the ACP countries and the OCTs mulative signed portfolio at the end of 2007.
Leto 2007 je bilo zelo pomembno za razvoj odnosov med EU in državami AKP, saj so bile razvojne potrebe Afrike eno od prednostnih področij portugalskega predsedovanja.
52% of the current IF portfolio targets financial services, notably through the development of the Bank’s microfinance activities, in particular in subSaharan Africa.
Vrh med EU in Afriko, ki je potekal decembra 2007, je bil drugi te vrste (prvega je prav tako organizirala Portugalska, in sicer leta 2000 v Kairu).
17% of the IF portfolio relates to industrial investments (including mining operations) and a further 28% to basic infrastructure, covering energy, water, transport and telecommunications investments, the remaining 3% being dedicated to agriculture and tourism.
Na vrhu so se sestali voditelji držav in vlad ter opredelili strateško partnerstvo med celinama.
2007 marked a significant year in EU-ACP relations, with the Portuguese Presidency prioritising the development needs of Africa.The EU-Africa Summit in December 2007 was the second of its kind, the first (Cairo, 2000) having also been organised by Portugal.
Posojilna dejavnost EIB v okviru investicijskega sklada je namenjena predvsem zasebnemu sektorju in je konec leta 2007 pomenila 79 odstotkov skupnega portfelja podpisanih pogodb. Danes je 52 odstotkov portfelja investicijskega sklada namenjenih finančnim storitvam, zlasti prek razvoja dejavnosti mikrofinanciranja v podsaharski Afriki.
Bringing together Heads of State and Government, the Summit laid out the strategic partnership between the two continents.
Naslednjih 17 odstotkov portfelja je namenjenih industrijskim naložbam (vključno z rudarstvom), 28 odstotkov za osnovno infrastrukturo, ki zajema energetiko, vodo, promet in telekomunikacije, preostali 3 odstotki pa kmetijstvu in turizmu.

EU-Africa Infrastructure Trust Fund
Infrastrukturni skrbniški sklad EU–Afrika
April 2007 saw the successful launch of the EU Africa Infrastructure Trust Fund, which is managed by the EIB.
Aprila 2007 je bil uspešno ustanovljen Infrastrukturni skrbniški sklad EU–Afrika (EU-Africa Infrastructure Trust Fund), ki ga upravlja EIB.
This innovative fund supports the development of cross-border or regional infrastructure projects in subSaharan Africa and brings together the technical and funding expertise of the Bank and other EU development financiers with the grant resources of the European Commission and EU Member States.
Ta inovativni sklad podpira razvoj čezmejnih infrastrukturnih projektov v podsaharski Afriki. Tehnično in finančno znanje banke in drugih institucij EU s področja razvojnega financiranja združuje z nepovratnimi sredstvi Evropske komisije in držav članic EU.
With the UK joining in December 2007, the Trust Fund now has 11 donors – the Commission and ten EU Member States.
Po vstopu Združenega kraljestva decembra 2007 ima skrbniški sklad zdaj 11 donatorjev – Komisijo in deset držav članic.
Donors’ commitments to the Fund currently stand at EUR 98m and are expected to increase further in 2008.
Zdajšnje prevzete obveznosti donatorjev do sklada znašajo 98 milijonov EUR, po pričakovanjih pa naj bi se v letu 2008 še povečale.
In 2007, EUR 16.2m was approved for grant allocation to four infrastructure projects.
V letu 2007 je bilo odobrenih 16,2 milijona EUR za nepovratno financiranje štirih infrastrukturnih projektov.
