Vi tror på Den Europæiske Centralbanks uafhængighed, men denne centralbank er meget mere uafhængig end Bundesbank eller den amerikanske Federal Reserve, for den udspringer ikke af en retsakt fra Parlamentet, og den kan heller ikke ændres med en retsakt fra Parlamentet, for den eksisterer ikke sammen med en økonomisk regering.
We believe in the independence of the Central Bank, but this Central Bank is much more independent than the Bundesbank or the United States Federal Reserve, because it was not created by an act of Parliament and cannot be modified by one, because it does not exist side by side with a government that has its own economic policy.
