Its principal role is to fi nance European projects designed to contribute to the good social and economic development of the member countries of the European Union. In particular, the projects must help put the different EU countries at an equal level.
It can also intervene on its own accord outside the European Union, but with its own funds. About 15% of its investments are made outside the Union of 27.
