摘要

里斯本條約於二○○九年十二月一日生效，代表歐盟整合已發展至另一新的階段。里斯本條約的目標包括用以強化歐盟行政效率、決策民主以及正當性，同時協調歐盟對外關係活動，以提高歐盟國際地位，並有效因應歐盟在二十一世紀所面臨的挑戰。ECB在里斯本條約被歸類為一個歐盟機構並納入歐盟單一組織架構，此一變革將影響ECB在歐盟的憲法地位以及ECB對外關係，ECB將不能自外於歐盟單一組織架構以及共同目標。在歐盟共同外交政策及政策整合策略下，ECB對外關係的影響力預期將有所擴增，進而提高ECB的國際地位。

The entry into force of the Lisbon Treaty on 1 December 2009 which marked a new step in the overall process of European integration. The purpose of the Lisbon Treaty is to enhance institutional efficiency and democratic legitimacy of the enlarged Union, as well as the coherence of its external actions. The Treaty will provide the EU with a new institutional framework and many policy powers necessary to meet future challenges. The European Central Bank (ECB) is classified as one of the Union's institutions. The change of ECB's constitutional status in the EU is one of major innovations of the Lisbon Treaty. Accordingly, the Lisbon Treaty will have a far-reaching impact on the ECB and its external relations. From a policy perspective and employing legal methods, this paper reviews the most important innovations and the major changes of the ECB introduced by the Treaty of Lisbon, comparing it at the same time to the defunct EU Constitution.
