Prospectus Supplement

APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS
The net proceeds of $989,020,000 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 4.875% Notes due 2036, 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, National Association 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 February 15 and
August 15 of each year (each, an "Interest Payment Date"), with the initial payment on August 15, 2006. The Notes
will bear interest from March 2, 2006 (short first coupon for the period from and including March 2, 2006 to but
excluding August 15, 2006). 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.

Prospectus Supplement
The Notes shall be governed by, and interpreted in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, except with
respect to authorization and execution by the EIB which shall be governed by the Statute of the EIB (the "Statute")
set forth in the Protocol annexed to the Treaty of Rome of March 25, 1957 establishing the European Economic
Community, as amended and supplemented from time to time (the "Treaty").

Payment of Principal and Interest
Interest will be payable to the persons in whose names the Notes are registered at the close of business on the date
that is ten calendar days prior to each Interest Payment Date. The principal of and interest on the Notes will be paid
in such coin or currency of the United States as at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and
private debts. The EIB may change or terminate the designation of paying agents from time to time. Payments of
principal and interest at such agencies will be subject to applicable laws and regulations, including any withholding
or other taxes, and will be effected by check, or, under certain circumstances, by transfer to an existing United States
dollar account maintained by such holder with a bank in New York City. Interest will be calculated on the basis of a
360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months unadjusted.
The EIB will redeem the Notes on February 15, 2036 at 100% of the principal amount plus accrued but unpaid
interest to date.
The Fiscal Agent is not a trustee for the holders of the Notes and does not have the same responsibilities or duties to
act for such holders as would a trustee.
The Notes will be sold in denominations of $1,000, $10,000 and $100,000 and integral multiples thereof. As long as
the Notes are admitted to the official list of and to trading on the Bourse de Luxembourg, the EIB will maintain a
paying and transfer agent in Luxembourg.

Further Issues
The EIB may from time to time, without notice to or the consent of the holders of the Notes, create and issue further
notes ranking pari passu with the Notes in all respects (or in all respects except for the payment of interest accruing
prior to the issue date of such further notes or except for the first payment of interest following the issue date of such
further notes) and such further notes shall be consolidated and form a single series with the Notes and shall have the
same terms as to status, redemption or otherwise as the Notes.

Notices
All notices will be published in English in London in the Financial Times, in New York in The Wall Street Journal
(Eastern Edition) and, so long as any of the Notes are listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and the rules of that
Exchange so require, in Luxembourg in a newspaper with general circulation in Luxembourg (which is expected to
be the d'Wort or the Tageblatt). Notices can also be published on the website of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange at
http://www.bourse.lu. If at any time publication in any such newspaper is not practicable, notices will be valid if
published in an English language newspaper with general circulation in the respective market regions as determined
by the EIB. Any such notice shall be deemed to have been given on the date of such publication or, if published more
than once on different dates, on the first date on which publication is made.

Regarding the Fiscal Agent
JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association will be acting in its capacity as Fiscal Agent through its office located
at 4 New York Plaza, Floor 15, New York, NY 10004, U.S.A.
