The Shareholding Relationships Division is responsible for the smooth running of the decision‑making process of two of the EIB’s governing bodies – the Board of Governors and Board of Directors – and the governing bodies relating to mandates that the Bank receives from the European Union or Member States. In addition, it covers the relationship with the European Investment Fund (EIF) and EBRD from a shareholders perspective.
The team members in charge have the following responsibilities:
- ensure that the relevant and applicable EIB policies and procedures relating to the decision-making process of the above mentioned governing bodies are followed;
- handle the institutional relationships with official representatives and members of the above-mentioned governing bodies;
- ensure the alignment of interests between the EIB and its subsidiary/shareholding structures (e.g. the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) and the European Investment Fund mainly, but not only) by working closely with the EIB’s appointees in the governing bodies of such entities;
- contribute to the EIB’s corporate governance discussions and provide institutional advice and coordination on sensitive topics impacting the EIB.
