Strictly Confidential
Signatures accepted by the Bank for voting forms signed
by the EIB Governors
What is the Legal context?
The EIB digital signature process relies on the EU Regulation No 910/2014 on Electronic Identification,
Authentication and Trust Services (the eIDAS Regulation), which establishes an EU-wide legal
framework for electronic signatures and trusted services for electronic signatures. You may consult the
full text of eIDAS Regulation under this [link].
eIDAS Regulation is designed to create consistent regulations and standards across the EU for electronic
identities and for trust services supporting authentication and signatures. eIDAS Regulations ensures
that electronic transactions are secure, no matter where they take place within the EU.
By virtue of the eIDas Regulation, a qualified electronic signature (QES) has in all EU Member States an
equivalent effect to a wet ink signature.
The EIB accepts and signs only with qualified electronic signatures (QES) for digital transactions
governed by any laws of EU Member States and with external counterparties registered within the EU.
May Governors sign voting forms electronically?
Article 5(1) of the Rules of Procedure allows the Board of Governors to vote “by written or electronic
correspondence.” Voting by written correspondence is traditionally conducted by filling in and signing
a voting form as supplied by the Secretariat General.
Qualified electronic signatures as defined in Regulation (EU) No 910/2014 of 23 July 2014 (the “eIDAS
Regulation”) are accorded a legal effect equivalent to that of a handwritten signature. A qualified
electronic signature based on a qualified certificate issued in one Member State must be recognised as
a qualified electronic signature in all other Member States.
Given the importance of the decisions which the Board of Governors is called upon to take
(appointments and compulsory retirements, capital increases and authorisations for the launch of
Statute change procedures, approval or rejection of annual reports and of highest-order policies), it
appears appropriate to continue to afford the highest level of legal protection to the Bank where it must
attribute individual signatures to individual Governors. Hence, when a Governor chooses to replace
his/her handwritten signature by an electronic signature, the chosen method should be qualified
electronic signatures within the meaning of the eIDAS Regulation. In such case, no hardcopy version
shall follow to the EIB Board of Governors Secretariat.
Strictly Confidential
May Governors delegate their vote to ministry staff?
The EIB’s legal framework does not provide for any explicit possibility for Governors to delegate their
vote to persons other than another Governor at meetings (Article 6 of the Rules of Procedure), and the
EIB’s Statute and Rules of Procedure do not provide for any explicit possibility for Governors to delegate
their written votes either.
Thus, in the case of electronic voting, the EIB will assume that incoming electronic votes have been cast
by the Governor to whom electronic access has been given.
It is for the Governors Advisors and/or the national administrations to decide on their internal working
arrangements and practicalities of how the casting of the Governor’s electronic vote should be
managed.
How does EIB validate a digitally signed document?
The eIDAS Regulation also covers the verification and validation of certificates for website
authentication.
Validation is the process of confirming the validity of QES, that is, that the certificate used to create the
signature was valid at the moment of creation (it was not revoked, suspended, or expired). Such a
process entails the verification that the requirements of the eIDAS Regulation are met by QES in order
to confirm its validity.
The EIB Board of Governors Secretariat will validate received digitally signed voting forms using:
a) the “Validate a signature” feature provided by EU Sign
b) Adobe Acrobat software with pre-loaded European Union trusted certificates recognition features
In case of non-compliance, the EIB Board of Governors Secretariat will inform the sender that the
electronically signed document received cannot be taken into account and will request to be provided
with a handwritten/wet-ink signed voting form by post (+scanned copy by email).
