The EIB's Inspectorate General receives all allegations of fraud, corruption, collusion or coercion in connection with EIB-financed projects or concerning EIB Group staff. Anyone with information is encouraged to contact the Inspectorate General immediately. Alternatively, allegations can be submitted to OLAF.

Allegations under this policy should be made to the ‘Investigations Contact Point’ at the EIB to investigations@eib.org; by mail to the European Investment Bank, 100 Bd. Konrad Adenauer, L-2950 Luxembourg; or by fax to + 352 4379 6 4297.

These can also be used to report allegations of money laundering or terrorist financing affecting EIB operations or activities.

The EIB has formulated a set of rules to govern the handling of allegations of fraud, corruption and other forms of illegal activity affecting EIB Group activities (How to report fraud or corruption). Their purpose is to provide clear guidelines for dealing with allegations.

All allegations of prohibited practices, money laundering or terrorist financing can be made anonymously and will be treated by the EIB as confidential. Let us know how you can be reached for further information or clarification.

When contacting IG/IN, please make your complaint as specific as possible and include details such as

• what alleged wrongdoing you are reporting,
• where and when (dates and times if available),
• who is/are the perpetrators,
• how the individual or firm committed the alleged wrongdoing, and
• why you believe the activity was improper.

If possible, include the name of the project and provide information on documentation available to corroborate the allegations, as well as names of witnesses to the alleged wrongdoing.
