APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS

The net proceeds of $1,993,560,000 from the sale of the Notes offered hereby will be used in the general operations of
the EIB, including disbursements of loans heretofore or hereafter granted by the EIB.


DESCRIPTION OF NOTES

The following description of the particular terms of the Notes offered hereby (referred to in the accompanying
prospectus as the "Securities") supplements, and to the extent, if any, inconsistent therewith replaces, the description of the
general terms and provisions to the Securities set forth in the accompanying prospectus to which description reference is
hereby made. Such descriptions do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Fiscal
Agency Agreement and to the form of Global Note filed by the EIB with the SEC.


General

The 2.875% Notes due 2020, offered hereby (the "Notes") will be issued under a fiscal agency agreement dated as of
January 24, 2001 (the "Fiscal Agency Agreement", as described in the accompanying prospectus), between the EIB and
Citibank, N.A., as fiscal agent (the "Fiscal Agent"). Interest will be paid on the Notes at the rate set forth on the cover page of
this prospectus supplement and will be payable March 15 and September 15 of each year (each, an "Interest Payment Date"),
with the initial payment on March 15, 2011. The Notes will bear interest from September 15, 2010. The Notes are not subject
to any sinking fund or to redemption prior to maturity. Registration or transfer of Notes will be effected without charge to the
holders thereof.

If an Interest Payment Date or the maturity date is a day on which banking institutions are authorized or obligated by law
to close in New York or in a place of payment, then payment of principal or interest need not be made on that Interest
Payment Date or the maturity date. The EIB may make the required payment on the next succeeding day that is not a day on
which banking institutions are authorized or obligated by law to close in New York or in the place of payment. The payment
will be made with the same force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date or maturity date and no additional
interest shall accrue for the period from the Interest Payment Date or maturity date to the date of actual payment.

Payment of the principal of and interest on the Notes made at the offices of the Fiscal Agent and any paying agent (a
"Paying Agent") shall be subject in all cases to any fiscal or other laws and regulations applicable thereto. Consequently,
neither the EIB nor any Paying Agent will make any additional payment in the event of a withholding tax being required in
respect of any payment under or in connection with the Notes. Neither the EIB nor any Paying Agent shall be liable to any
holders of the Notes or other person for commissions, costs, losses or expenses in relation to or resulting from such
payments. In addition to the Notes, the EIB may issue from time to time other series of Securities under the Fiscal Agency
Agreement consisting of notes, bonds, debentures or other unsecured evidences of indebtedness.

The Fiscal Agent will be responsible for:

maintaining a record of the aggregate holdings of Notes;

ensuring that payments of principal and interest in respect of the Notes received by the Fiscal Agent from the EIB
are duly credited to the holders of the Notes; and

transmitting to the EIB any notices from the holders of the Notes.
