"Operations Evaluation (EV) carries out ex-post evaluations of the EIB Group's operations. The objective is to assess operations with a view to identifying aspects that could improve operational performance, accountability and transparency. EV Focuses on how the institution (EIB – EIF) conducts its operations, given the framework of relevant EU policies (the Treaty, Directives, Council Decision, mandates etc..) and the decisions of the EIB Governors." The Public Disclosure Policy does not indicate that a draft evaluation is disclosed, however it states, "Operations Evaluation activities are carried out within the Inspector General’s Department by a separate Operations Evaluation team, independent from the operational directorates. This team prepares ex-post thematic, sector and regional/country evaluations of EIB’s financing operations, which are published on the Website after discussion by the Board of Directors. An annual “Operations Evaluation Overview Report” is also published."
