While acknowledging that issues related to central bank independence were already resolved in 1998 and do not, therefore, need to be addressed again, the ECB Convergence Report follows the same approach as that of the Convergence Report prepared in 1998 by the European Monetary Institute (EMI).
It addresses two issues: •  first, the legal requirements for the full legal integration of the Bank of Greece and Sveriges Riksbank into the Eurosystem; and  •  second, the adaptation of legislation other than the statutes of these two national central banks.
