	'Mr. Euro' Bids Adieu, Trichet Steps in To Head ECB \| Europe \| Deutsche Welle \| 31.10.2003 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Trichet was French President Jacques Chirac's favored candidate for ECB chief in 1998 and when German pressure elevated Duisenberg to the position, Chirac then forced a secret deal on his reluctant European colleagues whereby Duisenberg would retire halfway through his eight-year term.
		Trichet was one of nine men put on trial for their part in the Credit Lyonnais affair, which culminated in a €31 billion ($33.7 billion) bailout by the French government.
		Trichet is likely to bring ideas popular with the French government’s views on how the ECB should be run to his new job, with plans for a slimmer administration, more transparent workings and a more realistic inflation target based on the Bank of England model.

		Duisenberg always strongly denied that such an agreement was made and stated in February 2002 that he would stay in office until his 68th birthday on July 9, 2003.
		In the meanwhile Jean-Claude Trichet was not cleared of legal accusations before June 1, 2002, so he was not able to begin his term after Duisenberg's first four years.
		Even on July 9, 2003 Trichet was not cleared, and therefore Duisenberg remained in office until November 1, 2003.
