<s>[INST] The next text is a question of a member of the European parliament:"With an expected annual growth of 9.6% until 2022, the ICT sector is one of the fastest‑growing industries. Its supply chain (mines, smelters and manufacturing) is untraceable, but is associated with risks such as human rights abuses, socio-ecological conflicts and violations of labour conditions, which should be a no‑go area for public finance.The EU-funded ‘Make ICT Fair’ report of CEE Bankwatch Network on the Amulsar gold mine in Armenia, which was supported by the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, highlighted the lack of public participation in the decision‑making processes of the mine, which could be destructive for the region. Communities have reported being ignored, intimidated and sued in court.The European Investment Bank (EIB) does not have a human rights policy or due diligence process. No ‘stand‑alone’ human rights impact assessment has been required since 2015, even though projects have been carried out in high‑risk‑country contexts.How does the Commission plan to influence the review of the EIB Statement on Environmental and Social Principles and Standards to ensure human rights due diligence, given that the EIB uses EU money to support investments in the world’s most fragile regions?"
