====Governing Council====
The [[Governing Council of the European Central Bank|Governing Council]] is the main decision-making body of the [[Eurosystem]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.ecb.int/ecb/educational/facts/orga/html/or_016.en.html |title=ECB: Decision-making bodies |access-date=14 September 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130206095156/http://www.ecb.int/ecb/educational/facts/orga/html/or_016.en.html |archive-date=6 February 2013 |url-status=dead}}</ref> It comprises the members of the executive board (six in total) and the governors of the National Central Banks of the euro area countries (20 as of 2023).

According to Article 284 of the TFEU, the [[President of the European Council|President]] of the [[European Council]] and a representative from the [[European Commission]] may attend the meetings as observers, but they lack voting rights.

Since January 2015, the ECB has published on its website a summary of the Governing Council deliberations ("accounts").<ref>{{cite press release |url=https://www.ecb.europa.eu/press/accounts/2016/html/index.en.html |title=Monetary policy accounts published in 2016|date=17 December 2019}}</ref> These publications came as a partial response to recurring criticism against the ECB's opacity.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.ft.com/content/7e58a3ea-d1bc-11e2-9336-00144feab7de?ftcamp=published_links/rss/comment/feed//product |title=The ECB must open itself up |work=Financial Times |date=10 June 2013 |language=en-GB |access-date=23 September 2018 |url-access=subscription}}</ref> However, in contrast to other central banks, the ECB still does not disclose individual voting records of the governors seating in its council.
