§ Mr. Mike O'BrienThe information requested is in the following table, except for(d) environmental projects. While projects may have environmental benefits, for example: water treatment plants, or paper mills that use recycled paper as raw material, it would not be appropriate to class these as primarily 'environmental'.
ECGD has, since 2001, assessed the potential environmental and social impacts of all projects it has been asked to support, except for defence and aerospace, which are subject to separate processes.
The currency values of ECGDs Guarantees have been converted at the exchange rates at the end of November.
