"Mr President, first of all, I should like to congratulate Mr Trichet on the presentation of his first annual report on behalf of the European Central Bank. I have read this report with more than the average level of interest. As rapporteur on the annual report for 2002, I was, above all, interested to see how the aspirations expressed by Parliament in a resolution of July 2003 had been taken on board. This brief and pithy resolution contained not only political but also practical wishes. In the first paragraph of last year’s resolution about the annual report 2003, Parliament asked the ECB to set up a working party to investigate the need for introducing the EUR 1 note. Personally, I cannot see the need for such a note, but I would like the Bank to investigate this in view of confidence in the currency. On page 101 of your annual report, you indicate that the Executive Council will revisit this issue in the autumn of 2004. My first question to you, Mr Trichet, is why you did not, in accordance with Parliament’s resolution, set up a working party. Also, now that the autumn of 2004 is upon us, I would very much like to hear from you what position the Executive Council has adopted with regard to the EUR 1 note."@en1
