46The immunity enjoyed by a governor of a central bank in the performance of his or her duties as a member of the ECB’s Governing Council or as a member of the ECB’s General Council therefore stems from the need to ensure the ECB’s immunity as is necessary for the performance of its tasks, as provided for in Article 39 of the Protocol on the Statute of the ESCB and of the ECB. Consequently, a governor of a central bank must enjoy, in the performance of those duties, the privileges and immunities as are necessary for the performance of the ECB’s tasks.
