European Union Institutions
香港六合彩资料 Brussels Office manages day-to-day relations with the European Union (EU) institutions. These include the European Commission (EC), the European External Action Service (EEAS), the Council of the European Union and European Parliament headquartered in Brussels, and the European Investment Bank headquartered in Luxembourg. The Brussels office is mandated to handle bilateral relations with Belgium and Luxembourg as well as NATO, and works to leverage developing country representations, including the Organisation of African, Caribbean and Pacific Countries (AC) states. Different units, including the Europe and Central Asia Vice Presidency, the International Finance Corporation (IFC) and the Global Fund for Disaster Risk Reduction conduct operational work out of Brussels.
The Brussels office also engages with numerous constituencies that gravitate around the EU, including civil society organizations, think tanks, the press corps, the private sector, labor unions, and youth organisations.
The WBG has a deep and effective partnership with the EU institutions focusing both outside and inside Europe. This builds on complementary mandates, comparative advantages, close policy alignment, and shared priorities (i.e. green and resilient recovery, jobs and growth, fragility and conflict, climate, gender, human capital, digital, etc.). The WBG also works inside the EU to support countries promote smart, inclusive and sustainable growth, with a focus on catching-up regions.
Today, EU member states account for just over 23% of total shareholding of IBRD. Our partnership takes shape through:
- Upstream alignment, joint analysis and assessments, knowledge sharing and coordination.
- A strong financial cooperation.
- Coordinated implementation at country and global level.
The European Commission is a key financial partner (ranked 2nd largest to WB TFs and 4th for IFC in FY16-20). The EC/WBG Financial Framework Partnership Agreement (FFPA) signed in July 2020 underpins the financial relationship.
