Treasury tries to fend off criticism of Draghi to cut Bank of Spain
Montoro said to respect the autonomy law in applying the savings in staff costs
What I dislike the ECB is precisely that that law has been changed

The Ministry of Finance has sought to defend tonight from the European Central Bank reviews the measures contained in the law of the State Budget for 2012 to extend the savings measures in personnel costs to the Bank of Spain. An opinion signed by the president of the ECB, Mario Draghi, warned of the risk to the autonomy of the Bank of Spain which involved those changes.
COUNTRY After publishing the content of these reviews, the Department of Cristóbal Montoro, through a press release, admits that the budgets have included the Bank of Spain in the public sector that apply to the limitations of personnel expense. But is defended on the grounds that such application is made "in the terms established in Law 13/1994 of 1 June Autonomy Bank of Spain." That, Finance, solves the problem, but according to the ECB does not at all.
Treasury's argument is simple: if the limitations are applied in compliance with the Statute of the Bank of Spain, that means "it does not apply any measure that goes against this autonomy." But what is not said is that Treasury explicitly criticizes the ECB is that through a disposal of the Finance Act, specifically in the fifth, has changed the law regulating the autonomy of the Bank of Spain, reducing it.
So far, the Bank of Spain had full autonomy in staff costs. Now, the new provision provides that, subject to such autonomy, "the Bank of Spain must apply for personnel measures on staff costs equivalent to those generally provided for staff working in the public sector, mainly in laws of general state budget each year, failing to agree, in any case, overall pay increases that result in an increase of the wage exceeds the limits for this group. "
Regardless of the opinion, which may deserve an organism that has consistently by cuts to reduce the deficit would have been so far apart from the obligation to apply, is that change in the autonomy law which has set off alarms in the ECB.
Therefore, the argument according to which Treasury respects the autonomy of the Bank of Spain because the law applies (but while changing the autonomy law) does not satisfy the claims of the ECB. In its opinion, Draghi called for recogiese new provision expressly the "waiver of obligation the Bank of Spain to take steps that undermine their ability to perform their duties independently," a recommendation that the Government has ignored.
In its opinion, the ECB recalls that "the principle of central bank independence enshrines the obligation by third parties to refrain from exercising direct or indirect influence on the national central banks, is about performing their duties or on their ability financial to fulfill its mandate, both operationally and in terms of human resources and financial resources to fulfill its mandate. "
"A combination of measures to reduce personnel costs by hiring new staff ban directly undermine the ability of the Bank of Spain and even hiring on staff to retain competent staff, which can amount in law to strip their bodies its powers of internal organization and control over their staff, or at least limit them considerably. Given that the Bank of Spain has recently expanded its expertise in early intervention, restructuring and resolution of banks, the ECB is particularly concerned about the needs of sufficient and qualified staff, as well as adequate financial resources, "added Draghi .
