A new set of files (229) deposited by the European Investment Bank (EIB) is now available for consultation on the HAEU online database. The new set of 229 files were inserted in the EIB fonds preserved at the HAEU.
Pertaining to the EIB Board of Directors, the fonds comprises now the minutes, in all three language versions (EN-FR-DE), of its meetings held between 1981 and 1988 (163 files). These new files provide relevant information pertaining to the meetings’ participants, agenda, deliberations and decisions resulting from these meetings. The new set includes also a series of documents (59 files) from the EIB Board concerning two of its Working Groups created between 1979 and 1984 with the purpose of producing strategic reports on EIB’s activities and its medium-term perspectives. Finally, a small special series contains commemorative medals marking the creation of the EIB, namely 12 bronze and silver medals (10th, 15th, 20th, 25th, 30th and 35th anniversary of the EIB) and a coin (50th anniversary).
The EIB is the financial institution of the European Union created by the Treaty of Rome (1958) to contribute to regional development and economic cohesion. Its historical archives were deposited at the HAEU under the terms of a convention signed on the 1st of July 2005 with the then EIB vice-president Gerlando Genuardi.
