The regional technical operational guidelines shall be consistent with the priorities contained in the national or regional programmes, where available, drawn up by the beneficiary countries, taking due account of any consultation with local civil society in the process of drawing up those programmes.\nThe Commission shall transmit to the European Parliament and to the Council the updated regional technical operational guidelines, as soon as they are established.\nWithin the framework set out by the regional technical operational guidelines, the EIB shall define corresponding financing strategies and ensure their implementation.\nEIB financing operations shall be consistent with the regional technical operational guidelines and the strategies of the beneficiary country.\nThe regional technical operational guidelines shall be reviewed following the mid-term review referred to in Article 19.\n1a.
