De nationale centralbanker bør ikke forpligtes til som sikkerhed for Eurosystemets kreditoperationer at modtage belånbare bankobligationer, som garanteres af en medlemsstat, der er underlagt et program fra EU/Den Internationale Valutafond, eller af en medlemsstat med en kreditvurdering, som ikke opfylder Eurosystemets benchmark for opstillingen af mindstekravet for høje kreditstandarder.
NCBs should not be obliged to accept as collateral in Eurosystem credit operations eligible bank bonds guaranteed by a Member State under a European Union/International Monetary Fund programme or by a Member State whose credit assessment does not meet the Eurosystem’s benchmark for establishing its minimum requirement for high credit standards.
