I thank the delegates. I fully agree with Dr. Peter Rigney in his comments on the ECB and the Federal Reserve and on broadening the role of the ECB. That said, I would not like to see us mirror the American social model because while its central bank has more power in that regard, it does not end up with a better system for its citizens. It has been a very interesting debate and an extremely broad topic to get into. I again thank the delegates for their time and attending. I look forward to meeting all of them again.
