Abstract
In this Essay, written for the Fifty Years of European Union (“EU”) Law Conference organized by Fordham Law School, I intend to sketch the independent position of the European Central Bank (“ECB”) in the context of economic policy making within the European Union. I will briefly describe the law and the practice in respect of independence and economic-policy making, both the internal (domestic policies) and the external aspects (international policies). The law is stated as of February 25, 2008.
