S-5

APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS
The European Union and its long-term financing institution, the EIB, have made climate change mitigation and adaptation a policy priority. The
EIB supports the European Union's goal of low-carbon and climate-resilient growth within and outside the European Union.
Within its climate action financing framework the EIB strongly supports energy efficiency and renewable energy investments. The EIB thus
contributes to the climate change and energy sustainability objectives set out by the European Union.
Lending projects in the fields of renewable energy and energy efficiency include, but are not limited to:

?
renewable energy projects such as wind, hydro, solar and geothermal production; and

?
energy efficiency projects such as district heating, co-generation, building insulation, energy loss reduction in transmission and
distribution and equipment replacement.

The net proceeds of $990,020,000 from the sale of the Notes will be allocated to a sub-portfolio within EIB's treasury liquidity portfolio. So long
as the Notes are outstanding, the balance of the sub-portfolio will be reduced, at the end of each quarter, by amounts matching disbursements made
during the quarter to lending projects within the fields of renewable energy and energy efficiency. Pending such disbursement, the sub-portfolio will
be invested in money market instruments.

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 2.500% Notes due 2024 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 April 15
and October 15 of each year (each, an "Interest Payment Date"), with the initial payment on April 15, 2015. The Notes will bear interest from October
15, 2014. 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
http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/33745/000095015714001094/form424b5.htm[10/10/2014 8:59:51 AM]

form424b5.htm
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.

S-6

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.

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 October 15, 2024 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 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.

form424b5.htm

S-7

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 October 8, 2014 (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 Amount
Name

of Notes

Crédit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank

$333,333,000
J.P. Morgan Securities plc

$333,334,000
Morgan Stanley & Co. International plc

$333,333,000

$1,000,000,000

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;

http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/33745/000095015714001094/form424b5.htm[10/10/2014 8:59:51 AM]

form424b5.htm

S-8

(ii) it and each of its affiliates has complied and will comply with all applicable provisions of the FSMA with respect to anything done
by it in relation to any Notes in, from or otherwise involving the United Kingdom;
(iii) the Notes have not been and will not be qualified for sale under the securities laws of Canada or any province or territory thereof;
(iv) it and each of its affiliates has not offered or sold, and will not offer or sell, any Notes, directly or indirectly, in Canada or to, or for
the benefit of, any resident thereof, except pursuant to available exemptions from applicable Canadian provincial and territorial laws; and
(v) the Notes have not been and will not be registered under the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act of Japan (Act No. 25 of 1948,
as amended) (the "FIEA"), and the Notes will not be offered or sold, directly or indirectly, in Japan or to, or for the benefit of, any resident
of Japan (which term as used herein means any person resident in Japan, including any corporation or other entity organized under the laws
of Japan), or to others for re-offering or resale, directly or indirectly, in Japan or to, or for the benefit of, any resident of Japan, except
pursuant to any exemption from the registration requirements of, and otherwise in compliance with, the FIEA and any other applicable laws,
regulations and ministerial guidelines of Japan.
Purchasers of the Notes may be required to pay stamp taxes and other charges in accordance with the laws and practices of the country of
purchase in addition to the issue price set forth on the cover page hereof.
Expenses associated with this offering are estimated to be $125,000.
The EIB has agreed to indemnify the Underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as
amended.
It is expected that delivery of the Notes will be made against payment therefor on or about October 15, 2014. Trades of securities in the
secondary markets generally are required to settle in three business days, referred to as T+3, unless the parties to the trade agree otherwise.
Accordingly, by virtue of the fact that the initial delivery of the Notes will not be made on a T+3 basis, investors who wish to trade the Notes before a
final settlement will be required to specify an alternative settlement cycle at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement.
TAXATION
The following paragraph should replace the second bullet under "Taxation--United States Taxation--Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders--U.S.
Dollar Denominated Securities--Sale or Retirement of Securities" in the attached prospectus:

?
Your gain or loss will generally be capital gain or loss, and will be long term capital gain or loss if you held the security for more than
one year. For an individual, long term capital gain generally will be subject to reduced rates of taxation. The deductibility of capital
losses is subject to certain limitations.

The following paragraph should follow the section entitled "Taxation--United States Taxation--Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders--
Information Reporting and Backup Withholding" in the attached prospectus:
U.S. Return Disclosure Requirements
If you hold certain "specified foreign financial assets", which may include the Notes, you may be required to report information relating to such
assets, subject to certain exceptions (including an exception for assets held in accounts maintained by certain financial institutions), by attaching a
complete IRS Form 8938 (Statement of Specified Foreign Financial Assets) with your tax return for each year in which you hold an interest in such
assets. "Specified foreign financial asset" generally includes any financial account maintained with a non-U.S. financial institution and may also
include the Notes if they are not held in an account maintained with a financial institution. Penalties may apply for failure to properly complete and
file IRS Form 8938.
