As stated by the EIB, the project involves the acquisition of 42 double-decker electric multiple units (EMUs) and the modernisation of 133 coaches, primarily for use across Poland under Public Service Contracts. The new EMUs will replace obsolete rolling stock and expand the available fleet.
The aim is to enhance the quality of rail services and promote rail travel in the country as a means to decrease reliance on private vehicles. Consequently, the project will positively impact the local environment by lowering greenhouse gas emissions and improving road safety. Furthermore, the project aligns with EU objectives by contributing to sustainable transport. Given its primary implementation within a convergence region and its role in facilitating accessibility, the project also fosters regional development.
As stated by Devex, PKP Intercity S.A. is the largest Polish rail operator specializing in domestic and international long-distance transport.

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.
