# Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2015/1558 of 22 July 2015 supplementing Regulation (EU) 2015/1017 of the European Parliament and of the Council by the establishment of a scoreboard of indicators for the application of the EU guarantee, Division: Pillar 3 — Technical and financial contribution to the project

Extent: E+W+S+N.I.

Pillar 3 focuses on the value originated by the involvement of EIB and the support from EFSI itself, offering financial and non-financial benefits in support of the project. This specific contribution is assessed through three indicators, each measuring complementary dimensions of value added:
‘Financial Contribution’, i.e. improving the counterpart's funding terms compared to alternative sources of finance (interest rate reduction and/or longer lending tenor).
‘Financial Facilitation’, i.e. increasing the efficiency of other stakeholder support; leveraging third-party resources in particular from private sector; signalling effects for other lenders).
‘EIB Contribution and Advice’, i.e. providing non-financial services in the form of expert input/knowledge transfer to facilitate project implementation and to enhance institutional capacity as well as to advise on financial structuring. This could be provided under the European Investment Advisory Hub and any other existing advisory facility such as JASPERS, ELENA or Horizon 2020 Innovfin Advisory or through other appropriate means such as project implementation support.
Each indicator shall be independently rated using the consistent and well-documented existing methodology of the EIB, as may be amended from time to time. As with Pillar 1, the rating shall range from ‘low’ to ‘high’. The points attributed to each indicator are summed without weighting to give the overall rating for this pillar for the project from ‘low’ (less than 50 points), ‘moderate’ (50 to 99 points), ‘significant’ (100 to 149 points) to ‘high’ (150 points and above).
