Statement on the selection of a new President of the European Investment Bank (EIB)

Today, as Chair of the Board of Governors of the EIB, I have informed the EIB Governors of the candidates that have been assessed by the EIB Appointment Advisory Committee (AAC). The AAC has assessed the following candidates (in alphabetical order):

• Nadia Calvino (ES)
• Teresa Czerwinska (PL)
• Daniele Franco (IT)
• Thomas Östros (SE)
• Margrethe Vestager (DK)

In the coming period, I will conduct informal consultations with my colleagues of the EIB Board of Governors with a view to start the formal procedure to appoint a new President of the EIB in line with the EIB rules and procedures. This will be well in time before the current EIB President, Werner Hoyer, leaves office.
