While the Commission's report focuses mainly on the advances achieved in terms of the four - or five - convergence criteria, it also considers, as Mr Metten hoped, the compatibility between national legislation dealing with the national central banks and the stipulations of the Treaty designed to ensure the independence of the European system of central banks.
Si le rapport de la Commission se concentre principalement sur les progrès accomplis relativement aux quatre critères - ou cinq critères - de convergence, il examine aussi, comme le souhaite M. Metten, la compatibilité entre la législation nationale relative aux banques centrales nationales et les stipulations du traité destinées à assurer l'indépendance du système européen de banques centrales.
