LOOKING AHEAD

Policy development

The EIB Group is committed to finalising the revision of the EIB and EIF Anti-Fraud Policies in 2020 and continuing the

implementation of the Exclusion Polic y.

Growing number of allegations

In line with the trend seen in recent years, IG/IN foresees that the number of incoming allegations will continue to

increase in 2020.

Fighting fraud and corruption is a collective responsibility where each one of us has a role to play. Staff members,

counterparts and other external partners are encouraged to repor t any suspicions of prohibited conduct potentially

affecting EIB Group-financed projec ts and activities.

How to submit allegations:

Via the dedicated email address investigations@eib.org;

By a confidential letter to IG/IN;

Via a reporting form on the EIB website:

https://www.eib.org/en/infocentre/anti-fraud-form.htm.

Strengthening cooperation with partners

An important pillar of IG/IN’s work is the cooperation with national and international partners. In 2020, IG/IN will

continue cooperating with the relevant national authorities and investigative offices of international financial

institutions, among other things by exchanging information, providing assistance in the contex t of national judicial

proceedings and signing Memoranda of Understanding.

Increasing outreach and awareness-raising

Increasing outreach and awareness inside and outside the EIB Group is an essential tool to detect and prevent fraud.

After launching the new, successful fraud and corruption awareness e-learning packages in 2019 and achieving a 96%

completion rate, IG/IN is committed to continuing to invest in internal fraud awareness events and workshops.

Working closely with EIB Group services and sharing lessons learned will continue to be key to ensuring the coherent

implementation of the EIB Group anti-fraud and anti-corruption framework.

Similarly, in 2020 IG/IN’s efforts will also aim to engage with representatives of civil society organisations, counterparts

and other external partners.
