FRANKFURT (MNI) – European Central Bank President Jean-Claude
Trichet Friday said he had nothing new to say on the ECB’s monetary
policy stance.

Asked by reporters as he arrived at a speaking engagement whether
he had anything to say with respect to his posture of strong vigilance,
Trichet replied, “I stick to what I had said before. I have nothing to
add, nothing to withdraw, absolutely nothing. No new message at all.”
