EKSTERNE KONTROLINSTANSERIfølge ESCB-statutten skal der være to kontrolinstanser, nemlig de eksterne revisorer, som reviderer ECBs årsregnskab (artikel 27.1 i ESCB-statutten), og Revisionsretten, der vurderer denoperationelle effektivitet vedrørende forvaltningen af ECB (artikel 27.2).
In addition to the decisionmaking bodies, the corporate governance of the ECB also encompasses a number of external and internalcontrol layers.

EXTERNAL CONTROL LAYERS The Statute of the ESCB provides for two layers, namely the external auditor, which audits the annual accounts of the ECB (Article 27.1 of the Statute of the ESCB), and the European Court of Auditors, which examinesthe operational efficiency of the management ofthe ECB (Article 27.2).
I august 2002 besluttede Styrelsesrådet at anvende rotationsprincippet for det eksterne revisionsfirma for at forsikre offentligheden om, at ECBs eksterne revisorer er uafhængige.
In August 2002 the Governing Council decidedthat, in order to give the fullest public assuranceas to the independence of the ECB’s external auditor, the principle of audit firm rotation should be applied.
Dennebeslutning blev gennemført som en del af udnævnelsen af ECBs eksterne revisorer (i henholdtil artikel 27.1 i ESCB-statutten). Det nye eksterne revisionsfirma påbegyndte arbejdet i september 2003.2

Forexampleaset ofrules and procedures – known as a Chinese wall– are in place to prevent inside information, forinstance originating from the areas responsible for monetary policy implementation, from reaching the areas responsible for the management of the ECB’s foreign reserves and own funds portfolio.
Adfærdskodeksen for medlemmerne af Styrelsesrådet kan sidestilles medadfærdskodeksen for Den Europæiske Centralbank, som vejleder og fastsætter benchmarks for ECBs medarbejdere og medlemmerne af Direktionen, som alle tilskyndes til at opretholde ethøjt fagligt og etisk niveau i udførelsen af deresopgaver.5

Europa-Kommissionen, støttet af Kongeriget Nederlandene, Europa-Parlamentet og Rådet,gjorde efterfølgende indsigelser mod denneholdning (sag C-11/00).
The European Commission, supported by the Kingdom of the Netherlands, the European Parliament and the EU Council, subsequently challenged this stance (Case C-11/00).
Den 10. juli 2003 afsagde EF-Domstolen dom om parternes anbringender og annullerede afgørelse ECB/1999/5.
On 10 July 2003the European Court of Justice ruled on the submissions of these parties andannulled Decision ECB/1999/5.
BEKÆMPELSE AF SVIGI 1999 vedtog Europa-Parlamentet og Rådet forordning (EF) nr. 1073/1999 om undersøgelser,der foretages af Det Europæiske Kontor for Bekæmpelse af Svig7("OLAF-forordningen") forat styrke bekæmpelsen af svig, bestikkelse ogenhver anden ulovlig aktivitet, der skader Fællesskabernes finansielle interesser.
The ECB has detailed rules preventing the abuseofsensitivefinancialmarketinformation(“insider trading rules”).
Ifølge forordningen skal der bl.a. foretages interne undersøgelser af mistanke om svig i Fællesskabetsinstitutioner, organer, kontorer og agenturer.
The staff of the ECBand the members of the Executive Board are thereby prohibited from taking advantage, whether directly or indirectly, of inside information to which they have access whenconducting private financial activities at theirown risk and for their own account, or at therisk and for the account of a third party.6 An Ethics Adviser appointed by the Executive Board ensures a consistentinterpretation ofthese rules.
Domstolen konstaterede entydigt, at ECB "udgøren del af Fællesskabet".
The Courtruling unambiguously placed the ECB “within the framework of the Community”.
Samtidig fastslog Domstolen, at den lovgivende myndighed ønskede atsikre, at ECB er i stand til uafhængigt at gennemføre de opgaver, den har fået pålagt.
At the same time it stated that thelegislator had wanted to ensure that the ECBcouldindependentlycarryoutthetasksconferred on it.
Domstolenfastslog, at selvstændigheden ikke indebærer, at ECB stilles helt uden for De Europæiske Fællesskaber, og fritager den heller ikke fra at overholde de fællesskabsretlige regler.
However, the Court ruled thatthisindependencedoesnothavetheconsequence of separatingthe ECB entirelyfromthe Community and exemptingitfromevery rule of Community law.
Det er i overensstemmelse med ECBs fremgangsmåde.Anvendelsen af OLAF-forordningen må derforikke gå ud over en uafhængig udførelse af ECBsopgaver.
This is in line with the approach taken by the ECB. The application of the OLAF Regulation should not impair the independent performance of the ECB’s tasks.
ECB er i færd med at lægge sidste hånd på en nyafgørelse, som vil tage fuld højde for EF-Dom-stolens dom.
The ECB is now in the process of finalising anew Decision that will take full account of thejudgement delivered by the Court.
Skønt Styrelsesrådet fuldt ud anerkender og accepterer behovet for effektive foranstaltninger tilat forhindre svig, vurderede det, at OLAF-for-ordningen ikke omfattede ECB i kraft af ECBsuafhængighed og lovbestemte opgaver.
ANTI-FRAUD MEASURESIn 1999 the European Parliament and the EUCounciladopted Regulation(EC) No1073/1999 concerning investigations carried out by the European Anti-Fraud Office7 (“OLAF Regulation”) in order to step up the fight against fraud, corruption and any other illegal activity detrimental to the Communities’ financial interests.
I stedetvedtog Styrelsesrådet den separate afgørelse ECB/1999/5 af 7. oktober 1999 om bekæmpelseaf svig, der gav mulighed for at oprette et omfattende system til bekæmpelse af svig, som i sidsteende skulle kontrolleres af et uafhængigt Udvalgfor Bekæmpelse af Svig.
It provides inter alia for theinternalinvestigation ofsuspectedfraud by OLAF within the Community institutions, bodies, offices and agencies.
