Having regard to the Recommendation of the European Central Bank of 19 October 2018 to the Council of the European Union on the external auditors of De Nederlandsche Bank (ECB/2018/25) (1),

(5)

Following the recommendation of the Governing Council of the ECB, Council Decision 1999/70/EC (2) should be amended accordingly,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
