A. като има предвид, че БВП в еврозоната нарасна с 2,6 % през 2007 г. (спрямо 2,7 % през 2006 г.) въпреки засилената нестабилност, която бе предизвикана от финансовите сътресения през втората половина на годината,
A. whereas in 2007 the GDP of the euro area grew by 2,6 % (in contrast with 2,7 % in 2006) despite heightened uncertainty stemming from the financial turmoil in the second half of the year,
Б. като има предвид, че равнището на инфлацията беше 2,1 %, спрямо 2,2 % през 2006 г., въпреки икономическата среда, която се характеризираше със значителен натиск в посока на увеличение на цените,
B. whereas the inflation rate was 2,1 % compared to 2,2 % in 2006, despite an economic environment characterised by significant upward price pressures,
В. като има предвид, че ЕЦБ продължи да коригира лихвените проценти през 2007 г., до 4,0 % през юни от 3,5 % през декември 2006 г., и поддържаше това ниво през второто полугодие,
C. whereas the ECB continued to adjust interest rates in 2007, to 4,0 % in June from 3,5 % in December 2006, and maintained that level during the second semester,
Г. като има предвид, е в изявления на Международния валутен фонд и Организацията за икономическо сътрудничество и развитие се призовава за много предпазлив подход към повишаването на лихвените проценти в еврозоната,
D. whereas statements made by the International Monetary Fund and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development call for a very cautious approach to the raising of interest rates in the euro area,
Д. като има предвид, че през 2007 г. обменният курс на еврото се повиши с 6,3 % в номинално ефективно изражение и че повишението бе особено подчертано спрямо щатския долар (11,8 %),

F. whereas financial turmoil and large global imbalances represent a risk for worldwide economic growth and exchange rate developments,
Ж. като има предвид, че през 2008 г. се очаква инфлацията в еврозоната да се повиши между 2,0 % и 3,0 %, отразявайки до голяма степен текущата тенденция на повишени цени на основните стоки, преди да се понижи до по-умерени стойности между 1,2 % и 2,4 % през 2009 г.,
G. whereas it is expected that inflation will rise to between 2,0 % and 3,0 % in 2008 in the euro area, largely reflecting the current trend of increased commodity prices, before falling to a more moderate range of between 1,2 % and 2,4 % in 2009,
З. като има предвид, че основната цел на ЕЦБ и на Европейската система на централните банки (ЕСЦБ), както е посочено в член 105 от Договора за ЕО, е поддържането на ценова стабилност и едновременно с това подкрепа на общите икономически политики на Общността; като признава пълната независимост на ЕЦБ и на ЕСЦБ в този контекст.
H. Whereas the main objective of the ECB and of the European System of Central Banks (ESCB) is to maintain price stability while supporting the general economic policies of the Community, as defined in Article 105 of the EC Treaty; acknowledging the full independence of the ECB and the ESCB in this context.
И. като има предвид, че ЕЦБ е изправена пред дилемата да отговори на предизвикателствата на растящата инфлация и първите признаци на икономическо забавяне в резултат на финансовите сътресения от последните месеци,

Financial stability
6. подчертава необходимостта от създаване на рамка на ЕС за финансов надзор, подчертава, че макар Договорът за ЕО да не възлага на ЕЦБ никаква пряка отговорност, свързана с предпазливия надзор над кредитните институции и стабилността на финансовата система, е необходимо ЕЦБ да участва активно в надзора;
Emphasises the need to set up an EU framework for financial supervision, stresses that although the EC Treaty does not entrust the ECB with any direct responsibility related to the prudential supervision of credit institutions and the stability of the financial system, there is a need closely to involve the ECB in supervision;

18. счита, че диалогът по паричната политика между Парламента и ЕЦБ е успешен и по-нататък следва да бъде доразвит; подчертава, че последващaта отчетност на ЕЦБ е от основно значение за доверието, а следователно за стабилността, на финансовите пазари; счита, че за единството на Изпълнителния съвет и на Управителния съвет на ЕЦБ е важно да продължат да вдъхват доверие при публичното си представяне; подкрепя целенасочена информационна политика от страна на ЕЦБ спрямо Парламента, Съвета, Комисията и Еврогрупата; изразява разочарование от ниската степен на ангажираност, която ЕЦБ показа в отговора си на резолюцията на Парламента от 12 юли 2007 г. относно годишния доклад на ЕЦБ за 2006 г.
Considers that the monetary policy dialogue between Parliament and the ECB has been a success, and one which should be built on further; emphasises that the ex-post accountability of the ECB is of primordial importance for confidence, and hence stability, on the financial markets; considers that it is important for the unity of the ECB's Executive Board and Governing Council to continue to be confident in their public presentation; supports a targeted information policy on the part of the ECB towards Parliament, the Council, the Commission and the Eurogroup; is disappointed by the low level of commitment that the ECB has demonstrated in its response to Parliament’s resolution of 12 July 2007 on the ECB annual report for 2006
19. призовава ЕЦБ в изложенията й, следващи приетите от нейния Управителен съвет решения, да обяснява ясно дали в хода на обсъжданията лесно е бил постигнат консенсус или различните становища са се запазили, тъй като това би осигурило повече информация на пазарите, без да препятства общата европейска перспектива за решението на Управителния съвет на ЕЦБ;
Calls upon the ECB, in its statements following decisions taken by its Governing Council, to elaborate clearly about whether, in the course of discussions, a consensus was reached easily or if divergent views persisted, since this would provide markets with more information without hampering the common European perspective for the decision of the ECB's Governing Council;
