[아시아경제 김영식 기자] 아래는 유럽중앙은행이 7일(현지시간) 오후 발표한 유로존 국채 매입 프로그램 관련 성명 전문이다.

1. The Governing Council of the European Central Bank (ECB)
welcomes the announcements made by the governments of Italy and
Spain concerning new measures and reforms in the areas of
fiscal and structural policies. The Governing Council considers
a decisive and swift implementation by both governments as
essential in order to substantially enhance the competitiveness
and flexibility of their economies, and to rapidly reduce
public deficits.

2. The Governing Council underlines the importance of the
commitment of all Heads of State or Government to adhere
strictly to the agreed fiscal targets, as reaffirmed at the
euro area summit of 21 July 2011. A key element is also the
enhancement of the growth potential of the economy.

3. The Governing Council considers essential the prompt
implementation of all the decisions taken at the euro area
summit. In this perspective, the Governing Council welcomes the
joint commitment expressed by Germany and France today.

4. The Governing Council attaches decisive importance to
the declaration of the Heads of State or Government of the euro
area in the inflexible determination to fully honor their own
individual sovereign signature as a key element in ensuring
financial stability in the euro area as a whole.

5. It equally considers fundamental that governments stand
ready to activate the European Financial Stability Facility
(EFSF) in the secondary market, on the basis of an ECB analysis
recognizing the existence of exceptional financial market
circumstances and risks to financial stability, once the EFSF
is operational.

6. It is on the basis of the above assessments that the ECB
will actively implement its Securities Markets Program. This
program has been designed to help restoring a better
transmission of our monetary policy decisions taking account of
dysfunctional market segments and therefore to ensure price
stability in the euro area.
