Recital 19
(19) The EIB activity under this Decision should support the Agenda for Change proposed by the Commission and be coherent with the relevant principles of the European Consensus on Development and the principles of aid effectiveness outlined in the Paris Declaration of 2005, the Accra Agenda for Action of 2008 and the Busan Partnership Agreement of 2011. Furthermore, it should be coherent with the EU Strategic Framework and Action Plan on Human Rights and Democracy adopted by the Council on 25 June 2012 and international environmental agreements including biodiversity commitments. It should be implemented through a number of concrete measures, in particular by reinforcing the EIB's capacity to appraise environmental, social and development aspects of investment projects, including human rights and conflict-related risks, and by promoting local consultation with public authorities and civil society. In this context, the EIB should implement and further develop its Results Measurement framework (REM) which provides a detailed set of performance indicators measuring the economic, environmental, social, and development impact of its financing operations throughout the lifecycle of the underlying investment. The implementation of the REM should be evaluated as part of the mid-term review of this Decision. When carrying out due diligence in respect of an investment project, the EIB should, where appropriate and in line with the Union's social and environmental principles and legislation, require the investment project promoter to carry out local consultations and disclose their results to the public. EIB financing agreements involving public counterparts should explicitly include the possibility to suspend disbursements in case of revocation of eligibility under this Decision of the country in which the investment project takes place.
