Austria is threatening to delay plans to create a post which would be a political face for Europe's single currency and a political counterweight to Jean-Claude Trichet, President of the European Central Bank. If approved at a September 2004 meeting of EU Finance Ministers, the favourite to take up the post is Jean-Claude Juncker, Prime Minister and Finance Minister of Luxembourg.
