According to the Bank’s website, the loan will finance the construction of a new S10 expressway section between Bydgoszcz and Torun. The project foresees the construction of a 56 km long greenfield expressway, primarily along a new route (around 35 km) and partially along an existing route (about 21 km). The project scope also includes the construction of grade separated interchanges, animal crossings, drainage systems, noise protection screens, local and service roads, expressway service areas, and a motorway maintenance centre.

The project is located mid-northern Poland, in the Kuyavian-Pomeranian voivodeship (Kujawsko-Pomorskie) on a west-east road corridor between the Polish-German border near Szczecin and Warsaw. The project will contribute to an improved accessibility by adapting of the technical and operational parameters of the road to the forecast traffic level and by removing bottlenecks on the existing links. The new S10 expressway will not only improve connectivity between the two cities but will also contribute to more efficient international and local traffic flow organization and driving conditions on the comprehensive TEN-T road corridor. The project is expected to contribute to improved traffic safety and living conditions for inhabitants alongside the existing National Roads.

ACCOUNTABILITY MECHANISM OF EIB

The EIB Complaints Mechanism is designed to facilitate and handle complaints against the EIB by individuals, organizations or corporations affected by EIB activities. When exercising the right to lodge a complaint against the EIB, any member of the public has access to a two-tier procedure, one internal - the Complaints Mechanism Office - and one external - the European Ombudsman. A complaint can be lodged via a written communication addressed to the Secretary General of the EIB, via email to the dedicated email address: complaints@eib.org, by completing the online complaint form available at the following address: http://www.eib.org/complaints/form via fax or delivered directly to the EIB Complaints Mechanism Division, any EIB local representation office or any EIB staff. For further details, check: http://www.eib.org/attachments/strategies/complaints_mechanism_policy_en.pdf

When dissatisfied with a complaint to the EIB Complaints Mechanism, citizens can then turn towards the European Ombudsman. A memorandum of Understanding has been signed between the EIB and the European Ombudsman establishes that citizens (even outside of the EU if the Ombudsman finds their complaint justified) can turn towards the Ombudsman on issues related to 'maladministration' by the EIB. Note that before going to the Ombudsman, an attempt must be made to resolve the case by contacting the EIB. In addition, the complaint must be made within two years of the date when the facts on which your complaint is based became known to you. You can write to the Ombudsman in any of the languages of the European Union.
