	CNN.com - ECB cuts growth outlook - Dec. 13, 2001
		The ECB is under pressure to cut rates again, with concerns that the 12-nation euro zone could follow Japan and the United States into recession.
		In its December bulletin, the ECB predicts growth of between 1.3 and 1.7 percent in 2001, down from its previous forecast of between 2.2 and 2.8 percent published in June.
		The ECB bulletin also said the outlook for inflation has remained stable since June, as there are signs that price pressures will continue to ease, mainly due to lower oil and energy costs.

		Second, ECB officials are proud to observe that the ECB's decisions are based on what policy is believed to be appropriate for the euro area as a whole--to the extent that discussion of specific regional developments is discouraged at Governing Council meetings.
		ECB officials observe that if minutes were published then Council members would risk coming under heavy pressure from local politicians and media to vote in accordance with national interests, which would run counter to the European spirit of decision making.
		As the ECB is charged with interpreting as well as maintaining this price stability objective, and is granted formidable independence, in practice it would appear implicitly to support the ECB as the final arbiter of what constituted a risk to price stability, in the event of a dispute with the Ecofin concerning exchange rate policy.

		The ECB has always maintained that the level of the euro is not its concern, but intervention to bolster the currency could be justified on the grounds that a falling currency tends to result in inflation.
		The ECB's mandate is to keep inflation in the 11-nation euro-zone under control.

		In this respect, the ECB is very much in the tradition of the Bundesbank which was solemnly preaching a monetarist doctrine while it followed a quite pragmatic policy.
		Thus, the ECB should follow the practice of all other solution to this "policy-ineffectiveness" proposition is easy to find as it is practised by most central banks which abandoned : Monetary targets have to be abondoned as a dominant navigation system for their practical monetary policy.
		As the ECB has itself admitted that it is not able to control broad money in the short run (see section 3.1.1) and as it has left open how this will be possible in the medium and longer run, this advantage of the SOMPS seems not very clear-cut.

		The ECB informed the Ombudsman that, on 3 November 1998, it adopted a decision concerning public access to documentation and the archives of the European Central Bank (ECB/1998/12).
		The Ombudsman is aware that the functions of the ECB are different from those of the EMI, in that the Governing Council of the ECB formulates the monetary policy of the Community.
		The Ombudsman therefore wrote again to the ECB, noting that Article 10.4 of the Statute of the ESCB/ECB provides that the proceedings of the meetings of the Governing Council of the ECB shall be confidential, but that the Governing Council may decide to make the outcome of its deliberations public.

		Another difference with the Fed is that the ECB's economics and research directorate works in principle for the GC as a whole, but its research tends to be aggregated by Chief Economist Issing, who is said to open the meeting with an economic exposition that concludes with a recommendation on interest rates.
		This is not to say that all ECB decisions are unanimous--although the ECB's minutes are not published, there is evidence to suggest that it will take decisions even if agreement is not reached with all eighteen GC members.
		The implication then was that were the ECB not to have switched to a variable rate repo, it would have perhaps been more inclined to move by 25bp.

		The euro was not indispensable to the single market and would be weak unless financial discipline were maintained indefinitely; the convergence criteria were ill-chosen and the French desire to politicise the ECB could be the excuse for previously inflationary countries to revert to bad habits.
		Moreover, exchange rate policy, allocated under the Maastricht Treaty to the ECB, was agreed during the 1997 Amsterdam summit to be a joint responsibility with the Stability Council.
		The Treaty stipulates that the bank must be free of political influence and that it is responsible for the monetary policy, foreign exchange operations and management of the reserves of the countries participating in the single currency.

		Against this backdrop, they argue, ECB policymakers may well prove more reluctant to cut interest rates again in September or even October, especially if inklings of an economic recovery are starting to emerge.

		Financial markets, which had widely expected the ECB would keep its key rate at two percent, were eager to hear what Trichet had to say about the euro.
		Before Thursday's announcement most analysts had predicted in a Reuters poll that the ECB would stay put this month and that it would wait until the second half of 2004 before raising rates as the euro zone economy speeds up.
		The stronger-than-expected currency means both growth and inflation may pan out lower than the ECB has forecast and the 12 nation single currency bloc may not get close to its cruising speed towards the end of 2004 as now predicted.

	Euro - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The euro is administered by the European System of Central Banks (ESCB), composed of the European Central Bank (ECB) and the Eurozone central banks operating in member states.
		The ECB (headquartered in Frankfurt am Main, Germany) has sole authority to set monetary policy; the other members of the ESCB participate in the printing, minting and distribution of notes and coins, and the operation of the Eurozone payment system.
		This is attributed in part to the ECB's duty to check inflation across the Eurozone, which in high-performing countries such as Republic of Ireland is above the ECB's target.
