Willem Frederik Duisenberg, commonly known as Wim Duisenberg (July 9, 1935 - July 31, 2005), was a Dutch banker and politician. As the first president of the European Central Bank (1998 - 2003), he was instrumental in the introduction of the Euro in twelve European countries in 2002 and has greatly contributed to financial stability in general.
French/Ger/Eng/Nat
The man chosen to be Europe's most powerful banker has launched a scathing attack on the E-U leaders who appointed him.
Dutchman Wim Duisenberg, the first head of the European Central Bank, said the E-U summit row last weekend over his appointment - and successor - had left a "bad taste" in the mouth.
His comments came as the leaders of France and Germany wrapped up a summit in the French city of Avignon in which the two tried put the rift over Europe's top banker behind them.
Wim Duisenberg was appointed as the first President of the European Central Bank after a chaotic E-U summit in Brussels last weekend.
Germany and France spent Saturday at loggerheads over the issue of who should head the Bank.
Eleven hours of intense debate resulted in what many regard as a fudged deal, which glossed over differences between the Germans and French.
Duisenberg agreed to relinquish the role of bank president before the end of his eight year term in favour of Jean-Claude Trichet, the President of the French Central Bank.
But on Thursday, 62- year-old Duisenberg used angry words to describe the row over his appointment.
He said it was absurd to focus on the nationality of the central bank president, and at the European Parliament in Brussels, he said the power to name his departure date lay with him alone - and not with the French government.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"I wanted to give a guarantee that for the first significant period at least, I would certainly be there. How long thereafter is still open."
SUPER CAPTION: Wim Duisenberg, Nominated Head of European Central Bank
French President Jacques Chirac spent Wednesday and Thursday in talks with Chancellor Helmut Kohl at a summit in the French city of Avignon.
The cordial atmosphere during the talks disguised the bitter wrangling over who should be Europe's first central bank chief.
But at a news conference Thursday, Chirac was still sticking to his guns over the issue.
SOUNDBITE: (French)
"There are some subjects which can be decided, according to their importance, by unanimous decisions, and there are others which can be decided by a qualified majority. And it is up to our states to choose what fits into one category or the other."
SUPER CAPTION: Jacques Chirac, French President
Chirac and Kohl made light of the argument, and agreed to work together on transatlantic trade issues, European Union enlargement and the development of a single European aerospace company.
Despite doing poorly in the opinion polls at home, Kohl promised he would still be in power to carry these policies forward at the next Franco-German summit - due after Germany's national elections in September.
SOUNDBITE: (German)
"In the meantime there will be an election. You read all the possible newspapers, watch German television, look to the horizon, and it isn't written there who will carry on. So you look to me. And the game has long been established. I advise you to carry on getting used to it. I will be back."
SUPER CAPTION: Helmut Kohl, German Chancellor
Kohl has faced severe criticism at home from German officials who say the deal over Duisenberg will compromise the European Central Bank's independence.

STORYLINE:
The questions as to whether the European Central Bank should start cutting interest rates to bolster global growth prospects remains unanswered despite a statement made by the world's seven richest following the G-7 meeting in Washington on Saturday.
Bank officials, citing concerns about inflation, again refused to be drawn on the issue and the G-7 statement was silent on what interest rate policies the Europeans should pursue.
Speaking to reporters after the G-7 discussions ended, Wim Duisenberg, the head of the European Central Bank, repeated his opposition to lowering European interest rates.
He said such a move would "not enhance the credibility" of the central bank, which has been established to manage the Euro, the new joint currency of 12 European countries.
Meantime, Argentine Economy Minister Domingo Cavallo met with officials of the International Monetary Fund on Saturday and said afterward that he believed they were close to agreement on a new rescue program to provide loans to help stabilise the Argentine economy.
For Japan, where the weakening economy has triggered another change in prime ministers, the G-7 statement urged the new government to pursue "vigorous implementation of financial and corporate sector reforms" to speed economic recovery.
New Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi campaigned on a pledge to clean up the country's bad banking loans and end the country's decade-long economic malaise.

The European Monetary Institute (EMI) warned the pillars of the single currency, Germany and France, to strengthen their public finances, and issed reservations about the readiness of Italy and Belgium on Wednesday (25/3).
It said that four other countries - Ireland, Finland, Luxembourg and Sweden - also had to make "considerable" efforts to be sure of putting their public finances on a sound footing by January 1, 1999, when the single currency and stability pact take effect.
The EMI found fault with the state of public finances in Germany and France, warned about the weight of public debt in Italy and Belgium, and said that Finland, Ireland, Luxembourg and Sweden also had to make a big effort to ensure that their finances were sound on a lasting basis.
SHOWS:
FRANKFURT, GERMANY. 25/03
SOT Wim Duisenberg, head of the European Monetary Institute (EMI) : "We in our report conclude that the conditions necessary to maintain an environment conducive to low inflation and growth have improved within the context of the future single monetary policy. These achievements will have to be consolidated. It is of particular importance that member states enhance the flexibility to which national labour and product markets respond to countries specific development. The elimination of structural and institutional rigidities, in addtion to continued wage moderation, should strengthen competitiveness and accelerate job creation and it is the key to bringing down the level of
structural unemployment in Europe. Concerning the sustainability of government financial prostions the EMI wishes to emphasise to a varying degree, further substantial fiscal consolidation is required in most member states";
Cutaway journalists;
SOT Wim Duisenberg: "The difference is that the report contains in effect a rather strong recommendation to these countires to keep up the pace at which they will continue to achieve the high degree of sustainable convergence which they have already achieved. We simply wanted to draw attention that the process is not over yet, that sustainability means that it also has to be assured in the future";

English/Nat
In the final days before European Monetary Union becomes a reality, the financial world's focus has shifted to the workings of the new European Central Bank (ECB) in Frankfurt.
As of January 4, financial institutions will start dealing in the new single currency, the Euro.
Frankfurt is already the centre of Germany's financial world, but as of January 4 it will also be the centre of the single European currency and the headquarters of the European Central Bank that will administer the Euro.
Keeping the monetary policies of eleven different countries participating in the project in line will be largely the responsibility of the first President of the ECB, Dutchman Wim Duisenberg.
Duisenberg will have the task of coordinating the work of nearly 500 European bankers.
Central to the 63 year-old Dutchman's work will be the great task of keeping his bank's work independent of influence from the central banks and governments of the countries involved.
This vital freedom from outside pressure was thought to be under siege in the last weeks of 1998.
Duisenberg however says that he's not worried.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"We keep and maintain the independence by strictly adhering to our mandate, which includes that we are forbidden to follow instructions or suggestions from others, just as others are forbidden to even give such instructions. But, in addition we never shy away from a dialogue."
SUPER CAPTION: Wim Duisenberg, ECB President
One of Duisenberg's most potentially difficult relationships will be with the new German Finance Minister, Oskar Lafontaine.
Soon after the new German ledership came to power, Lafontaine put pressure on the German central bank, the Bundesbank, and the ECB to cut interest rates, which he claimed would foster investment and create jobs.
European banks and other monetary institutions gave their support to the ECB and it's President, and despite a German cut in rates, the Euro remained unaffected.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"There was little impact, the market just neglected it, the concerted interest rate cut that took place in the middle of December, and the reaction of the market to it, is indication that there is a lot of credibility of the European Central Bank: already today they are not influenced by finance ministers or by an interested public that would push monetary policy into a direction that, at the end of the day, would risk the quality of the new currency."
SUPER CAPTION: Professor Norbert Walter
Meanwhile, the countdown clock in central Frankfurt slips closer and closer to "E-Day."

France's finance minister has said that European Central Bank Chief Wim Duisenberg should honour a commitment to step down after four years to make way for the candidate France had backed for the post.
But in an interview published by a French newspaper on Wednesday, Duisenberg said he will not step down after completing half his term.
Speaking at a news conference on the eve of the new euro currency, French Finance Minister Dominique Strauss-Kahn said Duisenberg's remarks were not in line with
commitments he made when he was approved for the job.
Politics are clouding European monetary unity on the eve of the euro's launch.
French Finance Minister Dominique Strauss-Kahn has rekindled a sharp controversy over the leadership of the European Central Bank.
In an interview published on Wednesday by the French newspaper Le Monde, bank chief Wim Duisenberg said he will not step down after completing half his term.
But France said it had secured a verbal agreement earlier in the year that Duisenberg was to be replaced by Bank of France Governor Jean-Claude Trichet.
The French Finance Minister said the central bank chief's remarks were not in line with those he made when approved for the job.
Strauss-Kahn said Duisenberg should honour his commitment to step down after four years to make way for Trichet.
SOUNDBITE: (French)
"In no way must people be concerned that Mr Duisenberg won't do what he pledged to when he was chosen to by everyone, including France, to head the European Central Bank, after this declaration during the duration of his own mandate. So I refer you to a formal declaration made by Mr Duisenberg last May and I have no reason to think that things won't happen as he announced at that moment."
SUPER CAPTION: Dominique Strauss-Kahn, French Finance Minister
France surprised its euro partners by an 11th hour proposal that Trichet take the job the Dutchman was expected to secure easily.
The European Central Bank chief agreed to step down after four years, but said no such "gentleman's agreement" exists.
The office of the French President said on Thursday it would not comment on Duisenberg's remarks.
The French Finance Minister left aside the debate for a moment to salute the new euro currency.
Dominique Strauss-Kahn said its birth marked a historic turning point.
SOUNDBITE: (French)
"It's the first time such a collective of people on the planet have devoted themselves to a monetary instrument through a political and democratic will to make it. There has been in the past empires founded on force and violence. But this is the first time in history people have wanted this, they have chosen it, it has been constructed by tens and tens of (m) millions of people who are going to give themselves a (new) money and unite their destiny in this way."
SUPER CAPTION: Dominique Strauss-Kahn, French Finance Minister
Europe's dream of monetary union becomes reality on Thursday when the financial sectors are set into motion.
Eleven nations will lock their currencies together to create an economic giant whose boundaries stretch from beyond the Arctic Circle to the shores of the Mediterranean.
The old currencies will no longer be traded in foreign exchange markets around the world and stocks and bonds will be quoted in euros.
The euro will increasingly be used for bank transactions, business deals and public
finances.
The European Central Bank will set a common interest rate of 3 per cent for the 11 nations.
For the first time in decades, the U-S dollar will have a rival as the world's reference currency.
Supporters say the eurozone's 290 (m) million people will give European companies a huge, secure home market like that of their American rivals.

It is of particular importance that member states enhance the flexibility to which national labour and product markets respond to countries specific development. The elimination of structural and institutional rigidities, in addtion to continued wage moderation, should strengthen competitiveness and accelerate job creation and it is the key to bringing down the level of structural unemployment in Europe. Concerning the sustainability of government financial prostions the EMI wishes to emphasise to a varying degree, further substantial fiscal consolidation is required in most member states"; Cutaway journalists; SOT Wim Duisenberg: "The difference is that the report contains in effect a rather strong recommendation to these countires to keep up the pace at which they will continue to achieve the high degree of sustainable convergence which they have already achieved. We simply wanted to draw attention that the process is not over yet, that sustainability means that it also has to be assured in the future"; 2.28 You can license this story through AP Archive: http://www.aparchive.com/metadata/youtube/0b4ffb2d64cf82e7cc6470fdd439319a Find out more about AP Archive: http://www.aparchive.com/HowWeWork -
2:51GERMANY: PROFILE OF ECB AND FRANKFURT
GERMANY: PROFILE OF ECB AND FRANKFURTGERMANY: PROFILE OF ECB AND FRANKFURT
English/Nat In the final days before European Monetary Union becomes a reality, the financial world's focus has shifted to the workings of the new European Central Bank (ECB) in Frankfurt. As of January 4, financial institutions will start dealing in the new single currency, the Euro. Frankfurt is already the centre of Germany's financial world, but as of January 4 it will also be the centre of the single European currency and the headquarters of the European Central Bank that will administer the Euro. Keeping the monetary policies of eleven different countries participating in the project in line will be largely the responsibility of the first President of the ECB, Dutchman Wim Duisenberg. Duisenberg will have the task of coordinating the work of nearly 500 European bankers. Central to the 63 year-old Dutchman's work will be the great task of keeping his bank's work independent of influence from the central banks and governments of the countries involved. This vital freedom from outside pressure was thought to be under siege in the last weeks of 1998. Duisenberg however says that he's not worried. SOUNDBITE: (English) "We keep and maintain the independence by strictly adhering to our mandate, which includes that we are forbidden to follow instructions or suggestions from others, just as others are forbidden to even give such instructions. But, in addition we never shy away from a dialogue." SUPER CAPTION: Wim Duisenberg, ECB President One of Duisenberg's most potentially difficult relationships will be with the new German Finance Minister, Oskar Lafontaine. Soon after the new German ledership came to power, Lafontaine put pressure on the German central bank, the Bundesbank, and the ECB to cut interest rates, which he claimed would foster investment and create jobs. European banks and other monetary institutions gave their support to the ECB and it's President, and despite a German cut in rates, the Euro remained unaffected. SOUNDBITE: (English) "There was little impact, the market just neglected it, the concerted interest rate cut that took place in the middle of December, and the reaction of the market to it, is indication that there is a lot of credibility of the European Central Bank: already today they are not influenced by finance ministers or by an interested public that would push monetary policy into a direction that, at the end of the day, would risk the quality of the new currency." SUPER CAPTION: Professor Norbert Walter Meanwhile, the countdown clock in central Frankfurt slips closer and closer to "E-Day."

Duisenberg, 70, headed the European Central Bank from 1998 to 2003.

2:41FRANCE: FRENCH FINANCE MINISTRY DUISENBERG PRESS CONFERENCE
FRANCE: FRENCH FINANCE MINISTRY DUISENBERG PRESS CONFERENCEFRANCE: FRENCH FINANCE MINISTRY DUISENBERG PRESS CONFERENCE
French/Nat France's finance minister has said that European Central Bank Chief Wim Duisenberg should honour a commitment to step down after four years to make way for the candidate France had backed for the post. But in an interview published by a French newspaper on Wednesday, Duisenberg said he will not step down after completing half his term. Speaking at a news conference on the eve of the new euro currency, French Finance Minister Dominique Strauss-Kahn said Duisenberg's remarks were not in line with commitments he made when he was approved for the job. Politics are clouding European monetary unity on the eve of the euro's launch. French Finance Minister Dominique Strauss-Kahn has rekindled a sharp controversy over the leadership of the European Central Bank. In an interview published on Wednesday by the French newspaper Le Monde, bank chief Wim Duisenberg said he will not step down after completing half his term. But France said it had secured a verbal agreement earlier in the year that Duisenberg was to be replaced by Bank of France Governor Jean-Claude Trichet. The French Finance Minister said the central bank chief's remarks were not in line with those he made when approved for the job. Strauss-Kahn said Duisenberg should honour his commitment to step down after four years to make way for Trichet. SOUNDBITE: (French) "In no way must people be concerned that Mr Duisenberg won't do what he pledged to when he was chosen to by everyone, including France, to head the European Central Bank, after this declaration during the duration of his own mandate. So I refer you to a formal declaration made by Mr Duisenberg last May and I have no reason to think that things won't happen as he announced at that moment." SUPER CAPTION: Dominique Strauss-Kahn, French Finance Minister France surprised its euro partners by an 11th hour proposal that Trichet take the job the Dutchman was expected to secure easily. The European Central Bank chief agreed to step down after four years, but said no such "gentleman's agreement" exists. The office of the French President said on Thursday it would not comment on Duisenberg's remarks. The French Finance Minister left aside the debate for a moment to salute the new euro currency. Dominique Strauss-Kahn said its birth marked a historic turning point. SOUNDBITE: (French) "It's the first time such a collective of people on the planet have devoted themselves to a monetary instrument through a political and democratic will to make it. There has been in the past empires founded on force and violence. But this is the first time in history people have wanted this, they have chosen it, it has been constructed by tens and tens of (m) millions of people who are going to give themselves a (new) money and unite their destiny in this way." SUPER CAPTION: Dominique Strauss-Kahn, French Finance Minister Europe's dream of monetary union becomes reality on Thursday when the financial sectors are set into motion. Eleven nations will lock their currencies together to create an economic giant whose boundaries stretch from beyond the Arctic Circle to the shores of the Mediterranean. The old currencies will no longer be traded in foreign exchange markets around the world and stocks and bonds will be quoted in euros. The euro will increasingly be used for bank transactions, business deals and public finances. The European Central Bank will set a common interest rate of 3 per cent for the 11 nations. For the first time in decades, the U-S dollar will have a rival as the world's reference currency. Supporters say the eurozone's 290 (m) million people will give European companies a huge, secure home market like that of their American rivals.

Famous quotes by Wim Duisenberg:
"We feel confirmed in our view that we have found the right tone in the markets over the last few months, ... Our tightening bias has slightly strengthened since July."
"assuming Japan manages to overcome - and I think it will - the difficulties it is currently facing."
"And the suggestion from a colleague was that we do not speak about intervention,"
"We simply needed more indicators for our assessment that price stability is threatened in the medium term,"
"All available evidence is that a period of robust economic growth -- albeit at a somewhat slower pace than we have seen in recent months -- still lies ahead of us as far as we can see for the foreseeable future,"
"I'm not going to answer any questions relating to that recent interview,"
"Oil prices and exchange rates remain two important considerations,"
"far too early to judge what the events... will have for an impact on medium-term developments."
"Our policy is to be as transparent and as predictable as possible,"
"We are waiting very much for further signals on economic development before coming to yet another way (on rates)."

French/Ger/Eng/Nat
The man chosen to be Europe's most powerful banker has launched a scathing attack on the E-U leaders who appointed him.
Dutchman Wim Duisenberg, the first head of the European Central Bank, said the E-U summit row last weekend over his appointment - and successor - had left a "bad taste" in the mouth.
His comments came as the leaders of France and Germany wrapped up a summit in the French city of Avignon in which the two tried put the rift over Europe's top banker behind them.
Wim Duisenberg was appointed as the first President of the European Central Bank after a chaotic E-U summit in Brussels last weekend.
Germany and France spent Saturday at loggerheads over the issue of who should head the Bank.
Eleven hours of intense debate resulted in what many regard as a fudged deal, which glossed over differences between the Germans and French.
Duisenberg agreed to relinquish the role of bank president before the end of his eight year term in favour of Jean-Claude Trichet, the President of the French Central Bank.
But on Thursday, 62- year-old Duisenberg used angry words to describe the row over his appointment.
He said it was absurd to focus on the nationality of the central bank president, and at the European Parliament in Brussels, he said the power to name his departure date lay with him alone - and not with the French government.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"I wanted to give a guarantee that for the first significant period at least, I would certainly be there. How long thereafter is still open."
SUPER CAPTION: Wim Duisenberg, Nominated Head of European Central Bank
French President Jacques Chirac spent Wednesday and Thursday in talks with Chancellor Helmut Kohl at a summit in the French city of Avignon.
The cordial atmosphere during the talks disguised the bitter wrangling over who should be Europe's first central bank chief.
But at a news conference Thursday, Chirac was still sticking to his guns over the issue.
SOUNDBITE: (French)
"There are some subjects which can be decided, according to their importance, by unanimous decisions, and there are others which can be decided by a qualified majority. And it is up to our states to choose what fits into one category or the other."
SUPER CAPTION: Jacques Chirac, French President
Chirac and Kohl made light of the argument, and agreed to work together on transatlantic trade issues, European Union enlargement and the development of a single European aerospace company.
Despite doing poorly in the opinion polls at home, Kohl promised he would still be in power to carry these policies forward at the next Franco-German summit - due after Germany's national elections in September.
SOUNDBITE: (German)
"In the meantime there will be an election. You read all the possible newspapers, watch German television, look to the horizon, and it isn't written there who will carry on. So you look to me. And the game has long been established. I advise you to carry on getting used to it. I will be back."
SUPER CAPTION: Helmut Kohl, German Chancellor
Kohl has faced severe criticism at home from German officials who say the deal over Duisenberg will compromise the European Central Bank's independence.

STORYLINE:
The questions as to whether the European Central Bank should start cutting interest rates to bolster global growth prospects remains unanswered despite a statement made by the world's seven richest following the G-7 meeting in Washington on Saturday.
Bank officials, citing concerns about inflation, again refused to be drawn on the issue and the G-7 statement was silent on what interest rate policies the Europeans should pursue.
Speaking to reporters after the G-7 discussions ended, Wim Duisenberg, the head of the European Central Bank, repeated his opposition to lowering European interest rates.
He said such a move would "not enhance the credibility" of the central bank, which has been established to manage the Euro, the new joint currency of 12 European countries.
Meantime, Argentine Economy Minister Domingo Cavallo met with officials of the International Monetary Fund on Saturday and said afterward that he believed they were close to agreement on a new rescue program to provide loans to help stabilise the Argentine economy.
For Japan, where the weakening economy has triggered another change in prime ministers, the G-7 statement urged the new government to pursue "vigorous implementation of financial and corporate sector reforms" to speed economic recovery.
New Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi campaigned on a pledge to clean up the country's bad banking loans and end the country's decade-long economic malaise.

5. SOUNDBITE: (English) Wim Duisenberg, Head of the European Central Bank:
"I do believe that it is now widely understood that with actual inflation figures still being well above our medium term goal, with the expectation that the next figure to be released will even bring the figures somewhat further away from the two per cent goal that we have as a maximum. That it is now widely understood, that a move in interest rates in that context would not enhance the credibility of the ECB. That's the basic reason why we have the monetary policy stance as we have it."

Now we think that it may take some time longer until early next year, we hope, before we have, will have reached that goal again. So it will be somewhat delayed."

The European Monetary Institute (EMI) warned the pillars of the single currency, Germany and France, to strengthen their public finances, and issed reservations about the readiness of Italy and Belgium on Wednesday (25/3).
It said that four other countries - Ireland, Finland, Luxembourg and Sweden - also had to make "considerable" efforts to be sure of putting their public finances on a sound footing by January 1, 1999, when the single currency and stability pact take effect.
The EMI found fault with the state of public finances in Germany and France, warned about the weight of public debt in Italy and Belgium, and said that Finland, Ireland, Luxembourg and Sweden also had to make a big effort to ensure that their finances were sound on a lasting basis.

SOT Wim Duisenberg, head of the European Monetary Institute (EMI) : "We in our report conclude that the conditions necessary to maintain an environment conducive to low inflation and growth have improved within the context of the future single monetary policy. These achievements will have to be consolidated. It is of particular importance that member states enhance the flexibility to which national labour and product markets respond to countries specific development. The elimination of structural and institutional rigidities, in addtion to continued wage moderation, should strengthen competitiveness and accelerate job creation and it is the key to bringing down the level of
structural unemployment in Europe. Concerning the sustainability of government financial prostions the EMI wishes to emphasise to a varying degree, further substantial fiscal consolidation is required in most member states";

English/Nat
In the final days before European Monetary Union becomes a reality, the financial world's focus has shifted to the workings of the new European Central Bank (ECB) in Frankfurt.
As of January 4, financial institutions will start dealing in the new single currency, the Euro.
Frankfurt is already the centre of Germany's financial world, but as of January 4 it will also be the centre of the single European currency and the headquarters of the European Central Bank that will administer the Euro.
Keeping the monetary policies of eleven different countries participating in the project in line will be largely the responsibility of the first President of the ECB, Dutchman Wim Duisenberg.
Duisenberg will have the task of coordinating the work of nearly 500 European bankers.
Central to the 63 year-old Dutchman's work will be the great task of keeping his bank's work independent of influence from the central banks and governments of the countries involved.
This vital freedom from outside pressure was thought to be under siege in the last weeks of 1998.
Duisenberg however says that he's not worried.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"We keep and maintain the independence by strictly adhering to our mandate, which includes that we are forbidden to follow instructions or suggestions from others, just as others are forbidden to even give such instructions. But, in addition we never shy away from a dialogue."
SUPER CAPTION: Wim Duisenberg, ECB President
One of Duisenberg's most potentially difficult relationships will be with the new German Finance Minister, Oskar Lafontaine.
Soon after the new German ledership came to power, Lafontaine put pressure on the German central bank, the Bundesbank, and the ECB to cut interest rates, which he claimed would foster investment and create jobs.
European banks and other monetary institutions gave their support to the ECB and it's President, and despite a German cut in rates, the Euro remained unaffected.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"There was little impact, the market just neglected it, the concerted interest rate cut that took place in the middle of December, and the reaction of the market to it, is indication that there is a lot of credibility of the European Central Bank: already today they are not influenced by finance ministers or by an interested public that would push monetary policy into a direction that, at the end of the day, would risk the quality of the new currency."
SUPER CAPTION: Professor Norbert Walter
Meanwhile, the countdown clock in central Frankfurt slips closer and closer to "E-Day."

French/Nat
France's finance minister has said that European Central Bank Chief Wim Duisenberg should honour a commitment to step down after four years to make way for the candidate France had backed for the post.
But in an interview published by a French newspaper on Wednesday, Duisenberg said he will not step down after completing half his term.
Speaking at a news conference on the eve of the new euro currency, French Finance Minister Dominique Strauss-Kahn said Duisenberg's remarks were not in line with
commitments he made when he was approved for the job.
Politics are clouding European monetary unity on the eve of the euro's launch.
French Finance Minister Dominique Strauss-Kahn has rekindled a sharp controversy over the leadership of the European Central Bank.
In an interview published on Wednesday by the French newspaper Le Monde, bank chief Wim Duisenberg said he will not step down after completing half his term.
But France said it had secured a verbal agreement earlier in the year that Duisenberg was to be replaced by Bank of France Governor Jean-Claude Trichet.
The French Finance Minister said the central bank chief's remarks were not in line with those he made when approved for the job.
Strauss-Kahn said Duisenberg should honour his commitment to step down after four years to make way for Trichet.
SOUNDBITE: (French)
"In no way must people be concerned that Mr Duisenberg won't do what he pledged to when he was chosen to by everyone, including France, to head the European Central Bank, after this declaration during the duration of his own mandate. So I refer you to a formal declaration made by Mr Duisenberg last May and I have no reason to think that things won't happen as he announced at that moment."
SUPER CAPTION: Dominique Strauss-Kahn, French Finance Minister
France surprised its euro partners by an 11th hour proposal that Trichet take the job the Dutchman was expected to secure easily.
The European Central Bank chief agreed to step down after four years, but said no such "gentleman's agreement" exists.
The office of the French President said on Thursday it would not comment on Duisenberg's remarks.
The French Finance Minister left aside the debate for a moment to salute the new euro currency.
Dominique Strauss-Kahn said its birth marked a historic turning point.
SOUNDBITE: (French)
"It's the first time such a collective of people on the planet have devoted themselves to a monetary instrument through a political and democratic will to make it. There has been in the past empires founded on force and violence. But this is the first time in history people have wanted this, they have chosen it, it has been constructed by tens and tens of (m) millions of people who are going to give themselves a (new) money and unite their destiny in this way."
SUPER CAPTION: Dominique Strauss-Kahn, French Finance Minister
Europe's dream of monetary union becomes reality on Thursday when the financial sectors are set into motion.
Eleven nations will lock their currencies together to create an economic giant whose boundaries stretch from beyond the Arctic Circle to the shores of the Mediterranean.
The old currencies will no longer be traded in foreign exchange markets around the world and stocks and bonds will be quoted in euros.
The euro will increasingly be used for bank transactions, business deals and public
finances.
The European Central Bank will set a common interest rate of 3 per cent for the 11 nations.
For the first time in decades, the U-S dollar will have a rival as the world's reference currency.
Supporters say the eurozone's 290 (m) million people will give European companies a huge, secure home market like that of their American rivals.

FRANCE: EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK MEETING
French/Nat XFA With the financial world still recovering from comments on intervention this week made by the European Central Bank's president, attention is likely to focus on personalities rather than policies at a meeting of the governing board Thursday. The meeting is being held in Paris instead of at the E-C-B's home base in Frankfurt in a move to raise the bank's profile. However, analysts are not expecting any major change in interest rates. As the governors of the European Central Bank gathered in Paris Thursday, the focus of attention was on Wim Duisenberg. The President of the E-C-B stunned markets with an interview published Monday in the Times of London, in which he claimed it would make no sense for central banks to intervene if a war in the Middle East triggere...

FRANCE: EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK MEETING (2)
English/Nat The European Central Bank (ECB) has left key interest rates unchanged, despite the euro's weakness in currency markets and rising inflation. Most analysts hadn't expected the E-C-B to move on rates at the latest meeting of its policy-making board on Thursday after boosting rates earlier this month. The central bank, which decides monetary policy for the 11 countries using the euro single currency, last raised key lending rates by a quarter per cent to 4-point-75 per cent on October 5. But it takes several quarter per cent rate rises to have any economic impact. Core consumer inflation is also only picking up moderately, despite high oil prices and the protracted weakness of the euro. The E-C-B governing board met in Paris instead of its home base in Frankfu...

With the financial world still recovering from comments on intervention this week made by the European Central Bank's president, attention is likely to focus on personalities rather than policies at a meeting of the governing board Thursday.
The meeting is being held in Paris instead of at the E-C-B's home base in Frankfurt in a move to raise the bank's profile.
However, analysts are not expecting any major change in interest rates.
As the governors of the European Central Bank gathered in Paris Thursday, the focus of attention was on Wim Duisenberg.
The President of the E-C-B stunned markets with an interview published Monday in the Times of London, in which he claimed it would make no sense for central banks to intervene if a war in the Middle East triggered sharp movements in exchange rates.
His comments appeared to rule out further intervention to support the ailing euro, causing the single European currency to fall to an all-time low against the dollar on Wednesday.
Duisenberg holds a position similar to that of U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan.
But his direct and open statement was in contrast to Greenspan, who usually maintains a discreet silence over his views.
At Thursday's Paris meeting, analysts were looking for clues to the E-C-B's plans regarding further monetary tightening policies later this year.
The E-C-B decides monetary policy for the 11 countries using the European single currency.
Most analysts do not expect any immediate change in interest rates, especially after the E-C-B lifted its main refinancing rate by a quarter percentage point to 4.75 percent - the sixth hike this year.
The October 5th hike followed concerted intervention in the currency markets on September 22 by the E-C-B and its U-S, Canadian, British and Japanese counterparts, which briefly gave the feeble euro a boost.
Less than a month later, those gains have been lost and Duisenberg's comments have only emphasised the lack of confidence in the euro.

English/Nat
The European Central Bank (ECB) has left key interest rates unchanged, despite the euro's weakness in currency markets and rising inflation.
Most analysts hadn't expected the E-C-B to move on rates at the latest meeting of its policy-making board on Thursday after boosting rates earlier this month.
The central bank, which decides monetary policy for the 11 countries using the euro single currency, last raised key lending rates by a quarter per cent to 4-point-75 per cent on October 5.
But it takes several quarter per cent rate rises to have any economic impact.
Core consumer inflation is also only picking up moderately, despite high oil prices and the protracted weakness of the euro.
The E-C-B governing board met in Paris instead of its home base in Frankfurt, Germany, hoping to raise its profile.
The E-C-B has raised interest rates six times this year in an attempt to bolster the euro, which has lost around 29 per cent of its value since it was launched in January 1999.
Usually, interest rate hikes boost the local currency and tend to cool inflation, but so far the euro is still languishing against the U-S dollar.
There are now signs of inflationary pressures building in the euro-zone, aggravated by higher oil prices.
The last interest rate hike came after the E-C-B and its U-S, Canadian, Japanese and British counterparts intervened on the currency markets on September 22 in a bid to boost the euro.
It did recover but the rally was short-lived.
The euro dipped to a record low of 83-point-24 U-S cents at midday on Wednesday in New York, but was trading about a penny higher by midday on Thursday in Europe.
After the policy-making meeting on Thursday, E-C-B president Wim Duisenberg told a news conference it was clear the euro was undervalued, but denied there was cause for alarm.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"The undervaluation of the euro is giving cause for concern that it might have adverse implications for the world economy, including the risk to price stability in the euro area that it entails. Adhering to its mandate and following its forward looking strategy, the governing council will ensure price stability can be maintained over the medium term. The confidence of investors in the internal stability of the euro and the positive outlook for the euro area are contributing to the attractiveness of investing in the euro area and will support a stronger value of the euro. Looking forward, there are indeed challenges to be taken up by means of appropriate and determined action, but there are good reasons for remaining confident."
SUPER CAPTION: Wim Duisenberg, President, European Central Bank
He blamed a current misalignment in the currency markets which he said would be corrected in time.
Duisenberg was repeatedly questioned about his remarks published on Monday by the 'Times' newspaper that it wouldn't make sense for central banks to intervene in the currency markets if war in the Middle East triggered sharp movements in exchange rates.
But he refused to answer questions about the interview, saying that intervention was a tool available to central banks to be used "if and when appropriate".
Despite Duisenberg's remarks in the Times, some said currency intervention by the E-C-B in the short-term couldn't be ruled out.
