APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS

The net proceeds of $2,988,540,000 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, copies of which are available for
inspection at the Fiscal Agent's office at Citigroup Centre, 25 Canada Square, Canary Wharf, London, E14 5LB, United Kingdom, and to
the form of Global Note filed by the EIB with the SEC.

General

The 1.00% Notes due 2017 offered hereby (the "Notes") will be issued under a fiscal agency agreement dated as of November 23,
2011 (the "Fiscal Agency Agreement", as described in the accompanying prospectus), between the EIB and Citibank, N.A., London
Branch, 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 June 15 and December 15 of each year (each, an "Interest Payment Date"), with the initial payment on
December 15, 2012 (short first coupon for the period from and including October 2, 2012 to but excluding December 15, 2012). The
Notes will bear interest from October 2, 2012. 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.

http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/33745/000095015712000407/f...

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 a Protocol annexed to
the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, 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 December 15, 2017 at 100% of the principal amount plus accrued but unpaid interest to date.

The EIB shall have the right at any time to purchase Notes in the open market or otherwise. Any Notes so purchased may be resold
at the EIB's discretion if not surrendered to the Fiscal Agent for cancellation.

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.

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, 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

Citibank, N.A., London Branch will be acting in its capacity as Fiscal Agent through its office located at Citigroup Centre, 25
Canada Square, Canary Wharf, London, E14 5LB, United Kingdom.

UNDERWRITERS

Under the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the underwriting agreement dated September 25, 2012 (the "Underwriting
Agreement"), the underwriters named below (the "Underwriters") have severally agreed to purchase, and the EIB has agreed to sell to
them, severally, the respective principal amount of the Notes set forth opposite their respective names below:

Principal

Credit Suisse Securities (Europe) Limited
$933,333,000

HSBC Bank plc

UBS Limited

$3,000,000,000

The Underwriting Agreement provides that the obligations of the Underwriters to pay for and accept delivery of the Notes are
subject to, among other things, the approval of certain legal matters by their counsel and certain other conditions. The Underwriters are
obligated to take and pay for all the Notes if any are taken.

The Underwriters propose initially to offer the Notes to the public at the public offering price set forth on the cover page of this
prospectus supplement.

In order to facilitate the offering of the Notes, J.P. Morgan Securities plc (or any person acting for it) as lead stabilization agent (the
"Lead Stabilization Agent") may over-allot the Notes or effect transactions with a view to supporting the market price of the Notes at a
level higher than that which might otherwise prevail. However, there is no assurance that the Lead Stabilization Agent (or any person
acting for it) will undertake stabilization action. Any stabilization action may begin on or after the date on which adequate public
disclosure of the terms of the offer of the Notes is made and, if begun, may be ended at any time, but it must end no later than the earlier
of 30 days after the issue date of the Notes and 60 days after the date of allotment of the Notes. Any stabilization action or over-allotment
of the Notes must be conducted by the Lead Stabilization Agent (or any person acting for it) in accordance with all applicable laws and
rules.

Certain of the Underwriters and their affiliates engage in transactions with, and perform services for, the EIB in the ordinary course
of business and have engaged, and may in the future engage, in commercial banking and investment transactions with the EIB.

The Notes are offered for sale in those jurisdictions in the United States, Canada, Europe, Asia and elsewhere where it is lawful to
make such offers.

Each of the Underwriters has represented and agreed that it and each of its affiliates has not and will not offer, sell or deliver any of
the Notes directly or indirectly, or distribute this prospectus supplement or the prospectus or any other offering material relating to the
Notes, in or from any jurisdiction except under circumstances that will result in compliance with the applicable laws and regulations
thereof and that will not impose any obligations on the EIB except as set forth in the Underwriting Agreement.

In particular, each Underwriter has represented and agreed that:

(i) it and each of its affiliates has only communicated or caused to be communicated and will only communicate or cause to be
communicated any invitation or inducement to engage in investment activity (within the meaning of section 21 of the Financial
Services and Markets Act 2000 (the "FSMA")) received by it in connection with the issue or sale of any Notes in circumstances in
which section 21(1) of the FSMA does not apply to the EIB;
