Hr. Schmidts betænkning indeholder nogle fremadrettede løsninger: forbedre samarbejdet mellem centralbankerne og tilsynsmyndighederne i kampen for at forene finansiel deregulering og regulering; skabe en ramme for ECB's ledende finansielle rolle; fremme koordineringen af de økonomiske politikker mellem Eurogruppen, Kommissionen og ECB; forbedre beslutningsgangens gennemsigtighed og frem for alt tilvejebringe oplysninger, der giver offentligheden mulighed for at forstå ECB's indgreb; fremme en strukturreform af Centralbankens ledelse; styre renten med stor omtanke ved at undgå spekulative tiltag og utilstrækkelige markedsindgreb for ikke at bringe investeringspolitikken, beskæftigelsen, strukturreformerne og den økonomiske vækst i fare.
Mr Schmidt's report presents some ways forward: improve cooperation between the central banks and regulatory authorities in the struggle to reconcile financial deregulation and regulation; create a framework for the ECB's financial management role; promote coordination of economic policies between the Eurogroup, the Commission and the ECB; improve transparency of decision-making; and more than anything else, provide information that allows the public to understand ECB measures; promote structural reform of the Bank's governance; manage interest rates with great care, avoiding speculative interventions and inadequate market discounts, in order not to endanger investment policy, job creation, structural reform and economic growth.
