If one looks at the 2003 proposals, though, not many have been implemented – apart from those regarding the labour market and pensions. Well, those are, after all, two extremely central policy areas, and it is not least thanks to these reforms that our economy is doing so well compared with other countries.
I remember one visit by my colleagues and myself to the site when Thomas Rinderspacher, the ECB’s Project Manager, showed me the new windows that had been developed to improve the insulation of the façade, while preserving the appearance of the old window frames. I am proud of all the work carried out.
