		The national central banks of the Member States which do not participate in the euro area, that is, the United Kingdom, Denmark, Sweden and the 10 new Member States, however, are members of the ESCB with a special status.
		Accountability and transparency for European monetary policymaking is the perfect starting point for the discussion of the second important role that the national central banks have to fulfill: they represent the interface between the single monetary policy and the general public as well as economic policymakers in the Member States.
		The national central banks are indispensable intermediaries between the policymakers at the ECB and the Eurosystem counterparties in that they ensure that all of the many Eurosystem counterparties have equal and equitable access to central bank liquidity.

		The Bank is required to support the general economic policy of the Federal Government only "as far as possible without prejudice to its tasks as part of the European System of Central Banks" (section 12 of the Bundesbank Act).
		Transactions by the national central banks with their remaining foreign reserves above a certain volume require the approval of the ECB; this is intended to ensure consistency with the single monetary and exchange rate policy.
		This system is used by the ECB, the NCBs and credit institutions to transfer cross-border payments as quickly and as safely from one participant to another as domestic payments in their national systems.

		It was often believed that, out of the fifteen European Union countries, Luxembourg was the one for which it was most easy to move towards monetary union, as it was the only Member State which fully respected the convergence criteria of the Maastricht Treaty well before the launch of the single currency.
		In this context, Parliament was faced with the sensitive issues of the independence of the Central Bank together with the elimination of monetary financing of the State.
		Coming from the smallest European country, it is of course particularly interesting to see that the "one man, one vote principle" that underlies decision-making at European monetary level, is considered as undermining the efficiency of decision-making.

	Springer WienNewYork - The European System of Central Banks: An Autonomous Actor?
		With the communitarisation of monetary policy and the establishment of a European Central Bank (ECB), the idea of insulating a central bank from the political process was realised to a degree yet undreamed of.
		In this regard, EMU can be conceived as a parable for the respective difficulties of the European Union.
		By means of comparison with the American central banking system, the book probes the ECB´s institutional design, attempts to define the ECB´s status in EMU, and looks for ways towards a more democratically legitimated economic and monetary policy.
