Schedules for the meetings of the Governing Council and General Council of the ECB and related press conferences in 2000
- The Governing Council has agreed that in the year 2000 its meetings shall continue to be held, as a rule, on alternate Thursdays. As in 1999, exceptions to this rule are envisaged in order to accommodate special holiday situations, namely with regard to Epiphany, Corpus Christi, the summer holiday and the New Year. It has also been agreed that, beginning in 2000, two scheduled meetings each year will be held in a venue outside Germany, but within the euro area. The schedule for the meetings of the Governing Council of the ECB in 2000 is as follows:
5 January 2000 (Wednesday) 20 January 2000 3 February 2000 17 February 2000 2 March 2000 16 March 2000 30 March 2000 13 April 2000 27 April 2000 11 May 2000 25 May 2000 8 June 2000 21 June 2000 (Wednesday) 6 July 2000 20 July 2000 3 August 2000 31 August 2000 14 September 2000 5 October 2000 19 October 2000 2 November 2000 16 November 2000 30 November 2000 14 December 2000 4 January 2001 18 January 2001 - In addition, the General Council has agreed that the current practice concerning General Council meetings is to be maintained, i.e. quarterly meetings shall be held on the same day as Governing Council meetings. The schedule for meetings of the General Council in 2000 is thus:
2 March 2000 8 June 2000 14 September 2000 14 December 2000 - Finally, the current regime for holding press conferences will continue, i.e. they will take place after the first Governing Council meeting each month. The schedule for press conferences in 2000 is therefore as follows:
5 January 2000 (Wednesday) 3 February 2000 2 March 2000 13 April 2000 11 May 2000 8 June 2000 6 July 2000 3 August 2000 14 September 2000 5 October 2000 2 November 2000 14 December 2000
