‘DUISENchet’. On 25 April 1998, the German cartoonist Oliver Sebel illustrates the differences of opinion between German Chancellor Helmut Kohl and French President Jacques Chirac over the appointment of the President of the future European Central Bank. While Germany is in favour of the appointment of Dutchman Wim Duisenberg as head of the future European Central Bank, Jacques Chirac contests the method used and instead nominates Jean-Claude Trichet, Governor of the Banque de France, maintaining that if Germany has the seat of the ECB, France should get the President.
