LIFE BEGINS AT 50 FOR EUROPEAN INVESTMENT BANK, HOPES CIVIL SOCIETY
Have you heard about the EU financial powerhouse that is about to finally come of age, obtain some decent standards, stop financing oil and mining projects, and actually start allocating development money that will benefit people before it benefits multinationals?
Come along to a press conference and a street action and let a new EIB “recruit” talk you through these transformations at the European Investment Bank.
Environment and social campaign groups from across Europe will mark the 50th anniversary of the European Investment Bank by pointing out to the European Union's house bank that “Life Begins at Fifty—We Hope.”
The event will gather activists from the following countries: Central and Eastern Europe (CEE Bankwatch Network), France (les Amis de la Terre), Germany (urgewald WEED), Italy (Campagna per la Riforma della Banca Mondiale), Netherlands(BothEnds), United Kingdom (Bretton Woods Project).
