Having regard to Recommendation ECB/2005/3 of the European Central Bank (hereinafter referred to as ‘ECB’) of 11 February 2005 to the Council of the European Union on the external auditors of the Banco de Portugal (1),
Whereas:
(1) The accounts of the ECB and of the national central banks of the Eurosystem are to be audited by independent external auditors recommended by the Governing Council of the ECB and approved by the Council of the European Union.

(3) The Governing Council of the ECB recommended no change in the duration of the external auditor’s mandate.
(4) It is appropriate to follow the recommendation of the Governing Council of the ECB and to amend Decision 1999/70/EC of 25 January 1999 concerning the external auditors of the national central banks (2) accordingly,
Article 1(10) of Decision 1999/70/EC shall be replaced by the following:
‘10.   PricewaterhouseCoopers & Associados — Sociedade de Revisores Oficiais de Contas, Lda. is hereby approved as external auditor of the Banco de Portugal as from the financial year 2004 for a renewable period of one year.’
This Decision shall be notified to the ECB.
This Decision shall be published in the Official Journal of the European Union.
