5月3日凌晨,欧盟15国首脑会议终于达成妥协,欧洲货币局局长、荷兰著名银行家威姆·拉伊森贝赫被批准为欧洲中央银行首任行长。当欧盟当值主席布莱尔宣布这一结果时,在会议大厅走廊排徊了近11个小时的杜伊森贝赫一扫满脸阴霾露出胜利的微笑。作为世界上第一个超国家的中央银行行长,他将成为国际金融界举足轻重的人物之一。 At the early morning of May 3, the EU-15 summit finally reached a compromise. The director of the European Monetary Bureau and famous Dutch banker Wem Raesenberg were approved as the first president of the European Central Bank. When the EU’s current chairman Blair announced the result, Duisenberger, who had spent nearly 11 hours in the corridors of the conference hall, swept his face with a cloudy smile and a triumphant smile. As the world’s first super-state central bank governor, he will become one of the most important figures in the international financial community.
