摘要：Poland has been a member of the Economic and Monetary Union as a Member State with
a derogation. As a result, NBP representatives participate in the works of the ESCB within the scope
specified for the EU Member States which remain outside the euro area.
In 2005, the President of the NBP participated in quarterly meetings of the General Council
of the ECB. The Council is one of the governing bodies of the ECB. It comprises governors of
national central banks of the EU Member States as well as the President and Vice-President of the
ECB. Its competencies include e.g. expressing opinions on legislative acts passed by the Governing
Council, cooperation in the performance of statistical reporting responsibilities and participation in
the determination of exchange rates in countries joining the euro area.
