The EIB is the largest public lending institution expected to foster development within and outside the European Union. Yet this noble ambition is accompanied by less noble deeds. The Polish A4 motorway construction project illustrates how the EIB pursues environmental protection and improvement of quality of life in reality. Improper environment impact assessment, the lack of public consultation, minimal environmental and social standards made the NGOs rise up and organise a "no reform, no money" campaign.
