European Union lawmakers risked a breach of confidence with the European Central Bank after revealing details from a confidential briefing with ECB President Mario Draghi.
Members of the EU assembly’s economic and monetary affairs committee were chastised yesterday by the group’s chairwoman, Sharon Bowles, over the disclosures, which occurred shortly after the briefing with Draghi at the European Parliament in Brussels. Draghi was taking part in a hearing organized by the committee on the future of the euro and plans to build a so-called banking union.
