Brussels, 07/03/2003 (Agence Europe) - Economy and Finance Ministers from Member States and EU Member States were not able to adopt an opinion on the recommendation of the European Central Bank (ECB) on the changes to the voting procedures for its governing council. Although unanimity is required for adopting a legal text, Finland and the Netherlands still hold reservations about the Commission's draft. The Ecofin Council has only taken note of the ECB positions, which should be approved by the European Council stipulating unanimity (after the Parliament gives its opinion next week) on the basis of the Friedrich report.
