summary
Adopting the report by Mr Jean-Antoine Giansily (UPE, F) on foreign currency reserves in the third stage of EMU, Parliament is not in favour of reducing the reserve holdings of the ESCB during the transitional phase of the introduction of the euro. It considers that current reserves (approximately US$400 billion) which are large by international comparison will make speculation against the euro more expensive and thus contribute to the stability and credibility of the new currency. It also points out that a sharp reduction in reserves could affect the exchange rate of the euro against the dollar and should be implemented only gradually and with the utmost caution in order to avoid disruptions in the foreign exchange markets. In the light of the crisis and turbulence on world financial markets, Parliament calls for an agreement between the ECB and the American Federal Reserve on the management of foreign currency holdings. �
