ECB: More from the Lane interview: 
- Q: Can the ECB go against the most important country in the euro area?
- A: We are an independent central bank. The ECB is a unique institution, with
19 member countries. Sometimes, this can lead to headaches. But the fact that 19
countries are watching each other also helps to ensure that we are independent.
At the same time, independence comes with accountability: towards the European
Parliament, and, of course, we are subject to the jurisdiction of the European
Court of Justice, which ruled in favour of our public sector purchase programme.
