2.
Redenomination
EIB may, without the consent of the holders of the Notes, on giving at least 30 days' prior notice to the
holders of the Notes, elect that, with effect from any date for payment of interest under the Notes as may be
specified in that notice (the "Redenomination Date'') falling on or after the date on which the United
Kingdom becomes one of the countries participating in the third stage of economic and monetary union
3


Level: 1 ­ From: 1 ­ Tuesday, March 18, 2008 ­ 17:19 ­ eprint3 ­ 3935 Section 01 : 3935 Section 01
pursuant to the Treaty establishing the European Community, each Note shall be deemed to be denominated
in such amount of euro as is equivalent to its denomination in Pounds Sterling, converted into euro at the rate
for the conversion of Pounds Sterling (including compliance with rules relating to roundings in accordance
with applicable European Community regulations) into euro established by the Council of the European
Union as determined at such time. Such amount shall be rounded down to the nearest integral multiple of
one euro. Any fraction of one euro arising therefrom shall be paid to each holder of a Note on the
Redenomination Date in addition to the payment of interest otherwise payable on such Note. On and after
the Redenomination Date all payments in respect of the Notes will be made solely in euro, including
payments of interest in respect of periods before the Redenomination Date.
References to "euro'' are to the lawful currency of the member states of the European Union that adopt the
single currency in accordance with the Treaty establishing the European Community, as amended by the
Treaty on European Union and as amended by the Treaty of Amsterdam.
In addition, EIB may, without the consent of the holders of the Notes, on giving not less than 30 days' prior
notice to the holders of the Notes, elect that with effect from the Redenomination Date or such later date for
payment of interest under the Notes as it may specify in that notice (the "Specified Date''), the denomination
of the Notes shall be euro 8. In such event, the then existing euro-denominated Notes (the "Original Notes'')
shall be exchangeable at the specified office of the Fiscal Agent, and at the specified offices of the Paying
Agents, for Notes of such new denomination ("New Notes'') having the same aggregate principal amount as
the Original Notes so exchanged.
Any such redenomination and exchange of Notes shall be subject in all cases to compliance with all
applicable requirements of relevant monetary, stock exchange or other authorities, applicable European
Community and national laws and regulations and such market practices consistent therewith as the Fiscal
Agent, in its discretion, shall determine to be applicable for the redenomination and exchange of Eurobonds
held in international clearing systems and these terms and conditions shall be deemed to be amended
accordingly.
Upon any change to these terms and conditions pursuant to a redenomination or exchange, notice thereof
will be given to holders of Notes in accordance with Condition 9.
On the Specified Date the Notes shall become New Notes without the need for the Global Note to be
presented for exchange.
Determinations made by the Fiscal Agent will, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding
on EIB and the holders of Notes.
3.
Interest
The Notes bear interest from 18th July, 2000 at the rate of 5.625 per cent. per annum payable annually in
arrear on 7th June in each year (each an "Interest Payment Date''). For the avoidance of doubt, interest in
respect of the period up to and including 7th June, 2007 has already been paid and no interest in respect of
that period will be payable on the Further Notes. The Notes will cease to bear interest from the due date for
redemption unless, upon due presentation, payment of principal is improperly withheld or refused.
4.
Redemption and Purchase
Unless previously redeemed or purchased and cancelled as described herein, EIB will redeem the Notes at
par on 7th June, 2032.
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 EIB's discretion if not surrendered to the Fiscal Agent for cancellation.
5.
Payments
5.1
Payments in respect of principal and interest will be made against presentation for endorsement and,
if no further payment falls to be made in respect of the Notes, surrender of the Global Note at the
specified office of any Paying Agent for the time being. The specified offices of the initial Paying
Agents appear at the end of these Terms and Conditions. Payments will be subject in all cases to any
4


Level: 1 ­ From: 1 ­ Tuesday, March 18, 2008 ­ 17:19 ­ eprint3 ­ 3935 Section 01 : 3935 Section 01
fiscal or other laws and regulations applicable thereto. Consequently, neither EIB nor any Paying
Agent will make any additional payments in the event of a withholding being required in respect of
any payment under or in connection with the Notes.
Payments made before the Redenomination Date will be made in Pounds Sterling by cheque drawn
on, or by credit or transfer to a Pounds Sterling account specified by the payee with, a bank in the
United Kingdom. Payments made on or after the Redenomination Date will be made in euro by credit
or transfer to a euro account specified by the payee.
5.2
In the case of payments before the Redenomination Date, if any day for payment of principal or
interest in respect of any Note is not a day on which banks are open for business and carrying out
transactions in Pounds Sterling in the place where it is presented for payment, credit or transfer
instructions in respect of such payments shall not be given and cheques will not be drawn until the
next day in such place on which they are so open and the holder shall not be entitled to any interest
or other sums in respect of such postponed payment. Neither EIB nor any Paying Agent shall be liable
to any holder of a Note or other person for any commissions, costs, losses or expenses in relation to
or resulting from such credit or transfer or any currency conversion or rounding effected in connection
therewith.
5.3
In the case of payments after the Redenomination Date, payment of principal or interest on the Notes
may only be made on a day that is a Euro Business Day (as defined below). If any day for payment
of principal or interest in respect of any Note is not a Euro Business Day such payment shall be made
on the first following day that is a Euro Business Day and the holders of such Notes shall not be
entitled to any interest or other sums in respect of such postponed payment. Neither EIB nor any
Paying Agent shall be liable to any holder of a Note or other person for any commissions, costs, losses
or expenses in relation to or resulting from such payments.
"Euro Business Day'' means a day on which the Trans-European Automated Real-time Gross
settlement Express Transfer system ("TARGET'') is operating.
5.4
Where interest is to be calculated in respect of a period of less than one year, it will be calculated on
the basis of the actual number of days elapsed divided by the actual number of days in the period from,
and including the immediately preceding Interest Payment Date (or, if none, the immediately
preceding anniversary of the first Interest Payment Date) to, but excluding the next scheduled Interest
Payment Date.
5.5
If EIB determines, with the agreement of the Fiscal Agent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld),
that the market practice in respect of pounds sterling or euro denominated internationally offered
securities, as the case may be, is different from that specified in Conditions 5.2, 5.3 or 5.4 such
Conditions shall be deemed to be amended so as to comply with such market practice and EIB shall
promptly notify the holders of the Notes, the stock exchange(s) (if any) on which the Notes may be
listed and the Paying Agents of such amendments.
5.6
EIB reserves the right at any time to vary or terminate the appointment of the Fiscal Agent or any other
Paying Agent and to appoint another fiscal agent or additional or other paying agents provided that it
will at all times while any Note is outstanding maintain (i) a fiscal agent; and (ii) so long as the Notes
are listed on any stock exchange and if the rules of that stock exchange so require, a paying agent
having a specified office in the city of that stock exchange. Notice of any such termination or
appointment and of any changes in the specified office of any Paying Agent will be given to the
Noteholders in accordance with Condition 9.
6.
Status of the Notes and Negative Pledge
The Notes will be unconditional, direct and general obligations of EIB in accordance with their terms for
their payment and performance. The Notes will rank pari passu with any present or future indebtedness of
EIB represented by any unsubordinated notes, bonds or other securities, except indebtedness (i) incurred for
all or part of the purchase price of property purchased by EIB and (ii) secured by any mortgage, pledge or
other security interest on such property but otherwise ranking pari passu with the Notes. If EIB shall in the
5


Level: 1 ­ From: 1 ­ Tuesday, March 18, 2008 ­ 17:19 ­ eprint3 ­ 3935 Section 01 : 3935 Section 01
future secure any such present or future indebtedness by any mortgage, pledge or other security interest on
any of its present or future assets or revenues (other than mortgages, pledges or security interests on property
purchased by EIB as security for all or part of the purchase price), the Notes will be secured by such
mortgage, pledge or other security interest equally and rateably with such indebtedness, and the instrument
creating such mortgage, pledge or other security interest will expressly so provide.
7.
Default
The holder of any Note may, by written notice to EIB delivered before all defaults shall have been remedied,
cause such Note to become due and payable, together with accrued interest thereon to the date of payment,
as of the date on which the said notice of acceleration is received by EIB in the event that:
7.1
EIB shall default in any payment of interest in respect of any of the Notes and such default shall not
have been remedied by payment thereof within 30 days; or
7.2
EIB shall default in the due performance of any of its other obligations in respect of the Notes and
such default shall continue for a period of 30 days after written notice thereof shall have been given
by the holder of any Note to EIB at its office at 100 boulevard Konrad Adenauer, L-2950 Luxembourg
or at such other address as shall be notified to the holders of the Notes in accordance with Condition
9; or
7.3
any other indebtedness of EIB for borrowed money shall become due and payable prior to the stated
maturity thereof as a result of a default thereunder or any such indebtedness shall not be paid at the
maturity thereof as extended by any applicable grace period therefor or any guarantee given by EIB
for borrowed money shall not be honoured within 30 days when due and called upon in accordance
with its terms.
8.
Prescription
Interest will cease to be payable after five years from the relevant Interest Payment Date and principal after
ten years from the due date for payment thereof.
9.
Notices
Any notice to holders of Notes shall be validly given if published in the d'Wort (Luxembourg) and the
Financial Times (United Kingdom) and such other newspapers or publications as may be required by the
rules of the stock exchange(s) on which the Notes may from time to time be listed or, if any such newspaper
or publication shall cease to be published or timely publication therein shall not be practicable, in such other
newspapers as the Fiscal Agent shall deem necessary to give fair and reasonable notice to holders of Notes.
Any such notice shall be deemed to have been given on the date of the last publication provided above.
10.
Further Issues and Consolidation
EIB may from time to time, without the consent of the holders of the Notes, create and issue further notes
so as to be consolidated and form a single issue with the Notes.
EIB may also from time to time, without the consent of the holders of the Notes, consolidate the Notes with
one or more issues of other notes issued by it, whether or not originally issued in Pounds Sterling or euro,
provided that such other notes have been redenominated in euro (if not originally denominated in euro) and
otherwise have, in respect of all periods subsequent to such consolidation, the same terms and conditions as
the Notes.
The relevant Fiscal Agency Agreement(s) will be amended accordingly.
11.
Governing Law and Jurisdiction
The Notes are governed by, and shall be construed in accordance with, the laws of the Grand Duchy of
Luxembourg. Claims against EIB thereunder may be brought before any competent court in Luxembourg,
Grand Duchy of Luxembourg or any other country where EIB shall hereafter have its legal seat.

USE OF PROCEEDS
The net proceeds of the sale of the Notes, which will amount to £117,342,442.62 (inclusive of 294 days'
accrued interest) will be used in the general operations of EIB.
BOOK-ENTRY SYSTEM
The Notes will be represented by a Global Note. The Global Note will be held by a clearing system or its
depositary until all obligations of EIB under the Notes are satisfied. Initially the Global Note will be
deposited with a common depositary (the "Common Depositary") for Euroclear and Clearstream,
Luxembourg. Beneficial interests in the Global Note will be represented through accounts of financial
institutions acting on behalf of beneficial owners as direct and indirect participants in the relevant clearing
system(s).
The holder of the Global Note will be considered by EIB the sole owner and holder of the Notes represented
by such Global Note for all purposes of the Notes.
On consolidation of the Notes as allowed by Condition 10, EIB may issue a replacement Global Note in
exchange for the global notes of the issues consolidated. The relevant clearing systems may, in such
circumstances, require a change of the common depositary.

SUBSCRIPTION AND SALE
HSBC Bank plc (the "Manager") has, pursuant to a Subscription Agreement dated 25th March, 2008, agreed
with EIB, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, to subscribe for the Notes at an issue price of
113.024 per cent. of the principal amount of the Notes, plus 294 days' accrued interest and less aggregate
commissions of 0.20 per cent., of such principal amount. The Subscription Agreement entitles the Manager
to terminate the Subscription Agreement in certain circumstances prior to payment to EIB.
No action is being taken by EIB or the Manager to permit a public offering of the Notes, or the distribution
of any document, in or from any jurisdiction where action would be required for such purposes. Accordingly,
the Notes may not be directly or indirectly offered or sold or any offering circular, prospectus, form of
application, advertisement or other offering material distributed or published in any country or jurisdiction
or to persons subject to any specific jurisdiction except in compliance with any applicable laws or
regulations. In particular, no representation is made that the Notes may lawfully be sold in compliance with
any applicable registration requirements and neither EIB nor the Manager assumes any responsibility for
facilitating such sales.

GENERAL INFORMATION
1.
The issue of the Notes was duly authorised by EIB pursuant to an authorisation of its Board of
Directors on 20th November, 2007 and in compliance with procedures laid down by its Management
Committee.
2.
The Notes have been accepted for clearance through Euroclear Bank and Clearstream, Luxembourg
(Common Code 11412629). The ISIN of the Notes is XS0114126294.
No action has been taken by EIB to permit clearance through other clearing systems in European
Community member states, either before or after a redenomination of the Notes. Such clearance
would be dependent on the clearing system having appropriate links with Clearstream, Luxembourg
and Euroclear and, in any event, would be effected in accordance with all applicable requirements of
relevant monetary, stock exchange or other authorities and applicable European Community and
national laws and regulations.
3.
Application has been made for the Notes to be admitted to the official list of the Luxembourg Stock
Exchange and trades on the Bourse de Luxembourg which is the regulated market of the Luxembourg
Stock Exchange. Application may also be made to list the Notes on one or more other stock exchanges
in the European Community after the Specified Date (as defined above in the Terms and Conditions
of the Notes).
4.

and 31st December, 2006 and ElB's Statute are incorporated herein by reference. Copies of the
financial reports of EIB in respect of the financial years ending 31st December, 2005 and 31st
December, 2006 are available at the specified offices of the Fiscal Agent and the Paying Agents.
