APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS

The net proceeds of $2,994,150,000 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 and to the form of Global Note filed by the EIB with the SEC.

General

The 2.75% Notes due 2015, offered hereby (the "Notes") will be issued under a fiscal agency agreement dated as of June
7, 2001 (the "Fiscal Agency Agreement", as described in the accompanying prospectus), between the EIB and The Bank of
New York Mellon, 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 March 23 and September 23 of each year (each, an "Interest Payment
Date"), with the initial payment on September 23, 2010. The Notes will bear interest from March 23, 2010. 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.

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 signed in Rome on March 25, 1957, 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 March 23, 2015 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. As long as the
Notes are admitted to the official list of and to trading on the Bourse de Luxembourg, the EIB will maintain a paying and
transfer agent in Luxembourg.

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

The Bank of New York Mellon will be acting in its capacity as Fiscal Agent through its office located at One Canada
Square, London E14 5AL, United Kingdom.
