Abstract

The creation of the European Monetary Union should be a system of undistorted competition seeking to establish a single market. Contrary to this objective the ECBhas distorted the competition by its policy of qualitative and quantitative easing since May 2010. One could call it thematchmaker of distorted competition. This paper critically observes the extra-legal emergency measures, e.g.the reduction or suspension of the Eurosystem’s credit quality threshold as well as the “originate-to-Repo-operations”.
