While these questions are legally complex, they can fortunately be resolved. In conclusion As I have outlined, the Bank is subject to various legal regimes: public and private law, national and European, part public body, part not. Where these areas overlap, conflicts may arise.
It has emerged that such situations may be governed by three rules on conflict which can be derived from the Treaty and the Bank Act 1998 and that these rules can serve the Bank as a guideline in performing its tasks.
