I believe that the EBRD should continue to shift its operations away from the more developed countries that are already in the EU, and should strengthen its focus on operating in the less advanced countries of operation, where the challenge of transition is greater, and where the available capital and knowledge resources are more limited.
It would be useful to set guidelines for the dates by which the Bank would phase out and cease operating in certain countries - but these guidelines should leave room for some flexibility, particularly in fields of operation in which the EBRD has special technical expertise.
