"I was at the
casino, a distinguished casino which is well-known in Europe. At a table, a little set apart, the governors of the fifteen national banks of the European Union were playing cards, and with them was Mr Trichet, candidate and now elected President of the European Central Bank. Mr Trichet was very young, whilst the fifteen governors were elderly, not only did they have white hair, but they were genuinely weary: they were pensioners.
I asked myself then whether this vision that I had was not a warning sign. What is there for the national banks to do when there is a Central European Bank? What is there for the national governors to do? Would it not be good if they went and had a rest, if they retired?"@en1
