Project Description
If provided by the financial institution, the Early Warning System Team writes a short summary describing the purported development objective of the project and project components. Review the complete project documentation for a detailed description.

From the original EIB disclosure:
Le programme de déploiements complémentaires visant une généralisation du Fibre to the Home (FttH) sur le territoire auvergnat en dehors des zones d'investissements privés. Le projet de généralisation de la fibre est envisagé au travers des programmes d'investissements FttH & FttE (Fibre to the Enterprise) portant sur un périmètre estimé entre 124 et 136K prises. Ce périmètre comprend d'une part un volet de traitement industriel des Raccordables à la Demande (RAD), et d'autre part un volet Dernière Tranche de Réseau qui consiste à couvrir et rendre raccordables les locaux sur le reste du territoire auvergnat, hors zones concertées.

L'objectif du projet est d'achever le réseau Fibre to the Home (FTTH) pour couvrir la totalité des ménages dans la région en ajoutant 73 000 ménages aux foyers déjà couverts, et d'achever la construction du réseau d'accès pour 53 000 ménages qui étaient déjà couverts dans les phases précédentes mais qui n'étaient pas prêts à être connectés.

Translated with DeepL:
The complementary deployment program aimed at the generalization of Fiber to the Home (FTTH) on the Auvergne territory outside the private investment areas. The project of generalization of the fiber is envisaged through FttH & FttE (Fiber to the Enterprise) investment programs on an estimated perimeter between 124 and 136K outlets. This perimeter includes on the one hand an industrial treatment of the connectable on demand (RAD), and on the other hand a final network section which consists in covering and making connectable the premises on the rest of the Auvergne territory, except concerted areas.

The goal of the project is to complete the FTTH network to cover all households in the region by adding 73,000 households to those already covered, and to complete the construction of the access network for 53,000 households that were already covered in the previous phases but were not ready to be connected.

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. Additional details, including filing requirements and complaint forms, are available at: http://www.ombudsman.europa.eu/atyourservice/interactiveguide.faces
