Description:
In October 2015 the EBRD’s independent Project Complaint Mechanism (PCM) published its compliance review after an investigation into a series of EBRD loans to EPS, including a 2011 loan for new mining equipment for the controversial Kolubara lignite mine. The PCM found that the Bank breached its environmental and social policy with regards to safeguarding the rights of mine-impacted communities and the appraisal of project’s climate impact.
