Preface and acknowledgements


I wish to thank the publisher and Professor Rosa Maria Lastra of Queen
Mary College, University of London, for entrusting me with the chal-
lenging but rewarding task of editing this book. I am also grateful to all
contributors for making this book possible.
I owe a debt of gratitude to my managers at the ECB and, in particular,
to Antonio Sáinz de Vicuña, Director General of the Legal Services of the
ECB, and Dr Chiara Zilioli, formerly Head of the Legal Advice Division,
for their support throughout the years of my service at the ECB. Last
but not least, to Dr Dimitris Tsibanoulis, of Tsibanoulis & Partners Law
Firm, Athens, for the opportunities that he has opened up for me, and for
his trust and friendship.
I am forever indebted to Virge Juurikas for her forbearance, her uncon-
ditional love and her unfailing support in all of my endeavours, not least
those associated with the editing of this book.
This book is dedicated to my family, those of its members who are
no longer with us and those who are to hopefully take their place in the
coming months and years.
