During its September 2019 plenary sitting, the European ºÏ·¨²©²ÊÍøÕ¾ is expected to vote on a resolution on the candidate (Christine Lagarde) for president of the European Central Bank (ECB). While it is the European Council that appoints the ECB president, it must first consult ºÏ·¨²©²ÊÍøÕ¾. ºÏ·¨²©²ÊÍøÕ¾'s Economic and Monetary Affairs Committee (ECON) held a hearing with Christine Lagarde in September 2019 and then voted favourably on the candidacy. The ECB president is a key figure within the Eurosystem when setting monetary policy for the euro area.
