Faktisk mener jeg, at det, selv om Den Europæiske Investeringsbank ikke formelt er forpligtet til at aflægge rapport til Europa-Parlamentet, er almindeligt i et demokrati, at alle de offentlige institutioner inklusive de økonomiske skal svare på forespørgsler og tage hensyn til de prioriteringer, som de folkevalgte repræsentanter giver udtryk for.
Although the European Investment Bank has no formal obligation to report to the European Parliament, I think that it is natural, in a democracy, for all public institutions, including the financial institutions, to have to respond to questions and to take into account the priorities expressed by the representatives elected by the citizens.
