Expect a temporary rebound in inflation in the coming months.
It is likely that euro area economy will remain subdued in the near-term.
There are signs that labour market is beginning to weaken.
Will be in a better position to reassess inflation outlook and required action in December meeting.
Sees general disinflationary process continuing over the medium-term.
Will ensure policy remains sufficiently restrictive for as long as necessary.
Forward guidance is out of fashion.
Central bank will not prejudge further movements in the policy rate.
