This paper discusses the complementary use of grants and loans (blending) in the European Union’s (EU) external assistance. The wise persons' report (the so-called "Camdessus" report) established in the framework of the mid-term review of the EIB's external mandate suggested the creation of an "EU platform for cooperation and development". The Proposal for a Decision on the EIB external mandate (COM(2010) 174), which is under discussion, suggests that the Commission should study the development of this platform.
