The total cost of the Investment, as estimated by the Bank, is EUR [****].

The Bank, considering that the financing of the Investment falls within the scope of its functions, agreed to provide the Borrower with a credit in an amount of EUR 20,000,000 (twenty million euro) under this Finance Contract (the "Contract") to finance the Investment; provided that the amount of the loan hereunder shall not, in any case, exceed 50% (fifty per cent.) of the cost of the Investment.

(D)

The statute of the Bank provides that the Bank shall ensure that its funds are used as rationally as possible in the interests of the European Union; and, accordingly, the terms and conditions of the Bank's loan operations must be consistent with relevant policies of the European Union.

(E)

The Bank considers that access to information plays an essential role in the reduction of environmental and social risks, including human rights violations, linked to the projects it finances and has therefore established its transparency policy, the purpose of which is to enhance the accountability of the Bank’s group towards its stakeholders and the citizens of the European Union in general.

(F)

The processing of personal data shall be carried out by the Bank in accordance with applicable EU Law on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data by the European Union institutions and bodies and on the free movement of such data.

(G)

The Bank supports the implementation of international and EU standards in the field of anti-money laundering and countering the financing of terrorism and promotes tax good governance standards. It has established policies and procedures to avoid the risk of misuse of its funds for purposes which are illegal or abusive in relation to applicable laws.
