The Governing Council of the ECB therefore recommended that the Council of the European Union approve the replacement of PricewaterhouseCoopers — Auditores e Consultores, Lda. as external auditor of the Banco de Portugal by PricewaterhouseCoopers & Associados — Sociedade de Revisores Oficiais de Contas, Lda., since the former does not have the status of certified auditor.
Todėl ECB valdančioji taryba rekomendavo Europos Sąjungos Tarybai patvirtinti, kad PricewaterhouseCoopers – Auditores e Consultores, Lda., Banco de Portugal išorės auditorius, būtų pakeistas PricewaterhouseCoopers & Associados – Sociedade de Revisores Oficiais de Contas, Lda., kadangi pirmasis neturi atestuoto auditoriaus statuso.
