The main question now is whether the ECB will be able to sustain its hard-won reputation following enlargement of the euro zone in coming years. Indeed, when the ECB was established, some observers raised concerns even then about possible inefficiencies resulting from its supposedly outsized Governing Council and about possible distortions in its deliberations due to national considerations.
现在的主要问题是：随着欧元区域的不断扩大，欧洲央行能否在未来几年内保住自己来之不易的良好声誉。实际上从成立之日起，有些观察家就对它超大的管理委员会可能带来的效率低下和不同国家利益可能造成的政策扭曲提出了质疑。但这些质疑都没有根据。
