Catalonia Wants ECB Seat After Referendum: Euro Credit

The Catalan government is targeting a seat on the European Central Bank’s governing council after the referendum it plans to secede from Spain, regional finance chief Andreu Mas-Colell said.

“Being a member of full standing in the European Union means that,” Mas-Colell said in an interview at his office in Barcelona this week. “We are in favor of having our own state, which would give us solidity and standing in the international community.”
