      RECOMMENDATION OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK
   
   of 14 December 2009
   to the Council of the European Union on the external auditors of the Central Bank and Financial Services Authority of Ireland
   (ECB/2009/26)
   2009/C 308/01
   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 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 Central Bank and Financial Services Authority of Ireland’s current external auditors ended after the audit for the financial year 2008. It is therefore necessary to appoint external auditors from the financial year 2009.
            
         
               (3)
            
            
               The Central Bank and Financial Services Authority of Ireland has selected Deloitte & Touche as its external auditors for the financial years 2009 to 2011,
