APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS
The net proceeds of $1,496,535,000 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 Commission.
General
The 4.625% Notes due 2014, offered hereby (the "Notes") will be issued under a Fiscal Agency Agreement dated
as of February 19, 2002 (the "Fiscal Agency Agreement", as described in the accompanying prospectus),
between the EIB and JPMorgan Chase Bank 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, payable May 15 and November 15 of
each year (each an "Interest Payment Date"), with the initial payment on November 15, 2004. The Notes will
bear interest from May 4, 2004 (first long coupon for the period from and including May 4, 2004 to but excluding
November 15, 2004). 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.
