(iii) The construction of a new bus depot;
(iv)The purchase of 40 articulated electric buses for the Bus Rapid Transit lines and additional 11 articulated electric buses and 3 standard electric buses for other bus lines.
The purpose of this allocation is to finance the components of the short-medium term multiannual investment plan of the Syndicat Mixte des Transports of Clermont (SMTC-AC). The schemes will benefit the Clermont metropolitan area (Clermont Ferrand and the 20 surrounding municipalities) as well as two additional municipalities, Mur-sur-Allier and Pérignat-es-Allier.
The project is critical to secure the future of existing sustainable urban mobility alternatives, especially for the most vulnerable people in peripheral areas of the urban area, which need public transport.
As stated on the company's website, the Syndicat Mixte des Transports en Commun de l'Agglomeration Clermontoise (SMTC-AC) is a public establishment established in 1976.
As an organizing authority for mobility (AOM) of the Clermont metropolitan area, it brings together 23 communes (21 communes of Clermont Auvergne Métropole, Mur-sur-Allier and Pérignat-es-Allier). This territory forms the territorial jurisdiction of the Clermont agglomeration.

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
