Parliament adopted its annual report on the control of the financial activities of the European Investment Bank Group, covering the year 2024.
The report calls for full and unrestricted access for the European Court of Auditors to all EIB operations and for stronger conflict-of-interest prevention.
It also demands a review of lessons learned from the Northvolt bankruptcy and insists that EIB lending outside the Union be subject to robust safeguards.
