According to the EU Commission, the European Investment Bank (EIB) should extend its counter-guarantees to the production of solar technology. This is stated in the internal briefing book of the Directorate-General for Energy for the future Energy Commissioner Dan Jørgensen, which is available to Table.Briefings. The briefing book is a kind of collection of ideas for the new Commissioner’s policy for the next five years. In July, the EIB issued counter-guarantees to Deutsche Bank for the first time in order to safeguard wind turbine manufacturers.
