3. FEMIP Trust Fund Background The FEMIP Trust Fund was established by the EIB (the “Bank”) in October 2004, following consultations with Mediterranean partner countries, and in response to the European Council decision to reinforce the Facility for Euro-Mediterranean Investment and Partnership (“FEMIP”) within the Bank. The FEMIP Trust Fund allows donors to complement, on a voluntary basis, the Bank’s own resources as well as the financial resources from the EU budget, by positioning itself as a complementary tool within the Bank, dedicated to private sector support in the Mediterranean partner countries.

4. FEMIP Trust Fund Purpose Fully operational since 2005, the FEMIP Trust Fund has a unique role of financing upstream technical assistance and studies as well as targeted private equity operations, and is complementary to other investment activities of the Bank in the region. It also ensures complementarities with activities carried out by the EC. The FEMIP Trust Fund is entirely dedicated to the Mediterranean partner countries[1], directing resources to operations in certain priority sectors by way of technical assistance or made financially viable via private equity operations.[1] [1] The nine Mediterranean Partner Countries are: Algeria, Egypt, Gaza/West Bank, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, Syria and Tunisia Euro-Mediterranean Transport Forum 8th Meeting of the Working Group ‘Infrastructure and Regulatory Issues’ Objectives In the field of transport, the FEMIP Trust Fund supported four operations totalling EUR 3.9m on the logistic needs in the FEMIP countries, on a regional and a national logistic country master plans, road safety, and maritime highways via cooperation with the European Commission and the International Maritime Organisation.

5. FEMIP SUPPORT FUND Since its launch in 2003, over 120 operations have been or are being carried out in support of project preparation and implementation in the FEMIP Support Fund. During 2010, 3 new operations have been initiated, 5 contracts were signed for a total of EUR 10.16 M and 8 operations were completed. These activities contributed to the achievement of FEMIP Support Fund objectives of helping the FEMIP partner countries and private promoters to better prepare, manage and supervise their investment projects, including through the strengthening of the management capacities of local partners and improving the quality and development impact of EIB-funded investments. This facility is reaching the end of its operational period and will soon be closed. Euro-Mediterranean Transport Forum 8th Meeting of the Working Group ‘Infrastructure and Regulatory Issues’

6. SUPPORT TO FEMIP The Support to FEMIP TA facility was launched in 2010 with a total of up to EUR 50 M Funds available, replacing the “FEMIP Support Fund” as funding source for TA operations to support the preparation and implementation of EIB-funded investments in Mediterranean Partner Countries. During 2010, 7 TA operations have been identified, of which 4 are in the transport sector and 3 in the water/wastewater sector, and 2 contracts were signed for a total of EUR 4 M, covering the water and municipal infrastructure sectors.

7. Neighbourhood Investment Facility (NIF) The Neighbourhood Investment Facility (NIF) is a financial Facility established in 2008 under the ENPI Regulation, aimed at supporting the partner countries in their efforts towards better governance and economic and social development, through matching loans from the European public Finance Institutions (including the EIB) with Community grants and direct contributions from the Member States in order to generate a substantial leverage effect. The NIF is managed by the EC. The first 2 TA operations to be funded under the NIF were identified by the EIB and approved by the NIF Board in 2009, covering the water and transport sectors in Lebanon and Morocco respectively.
