The central bank acts arrogantly and negligently when it simply ignores the Ombudsman&#8217;s criticism. It raises doubts about the integrity of the European institutions as a whole. This is poison for confidence in Europe. The European Parliament has proposed general criteria and the Ombudswoman has made specific proposals. It is simply outrageous that the ECB believes that it stands abover the Ombudsman when it comes to ethical questions.
