   to the Council of the European Union on the external auditors of the Banco de España

   2013/C 264/01
   THE GOVERNING COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK,
   Having regard to the Statute of the European System of Central Banks and of the European Central Bank, and in particular Article 27.1 thereof,
   Whereas:
   
               (1)
            
            
               The accounts of the European Central Bank (ECB) and national central banks of the Member States whose currency is the euro are audited by independent external auditors recommended by the ECB’s Governing Council and approved by the Council of the European Union.
            
         
               (2)
            
            
               The mandate of the Banco de España’s current external auditors ended following the audit for the financial year 2012. It is therefore necessary to appoint external auditors from the financial year 2013.
            
         
               (3)
            
            
               The Banco de España has selected KPMG Auditores, S.L. as its external auditors for the financial years 2013 to 2017,
            
         HAS ADOPTED THIS RECOMMENDATION:
