I see FOMC is restored. Is there one extension for the European markets like ECB and Bank of England equivalent? I could not find it in the list. If not it might be a good addition. Volker might know. Thanks.
Rename
No, there isn't. Everyone's eyes are on the Fed, I know that because it's been requested since WL6 days. For ECB we used to have a time series of the ECB key rate for WL6 (http://www2.wealth-lab.com/WL5WIKI/ECBKeyRate.ashx) but haven't ported it due to absence of interest. But considering a lack of demand for this feature (I heard it from you), I doubt that such feature request would take off in the wishlist.
More data is better than less. What do you think of renaming the provider from "FOMC Meetings" to "Monetary Policy Meetings" or something of the sort and then including the ECB Rate Decisions as another selectable item? Probably renaming isn't even required.
I agree with Cone. Perhaps the vendors of Fundamental Extensions may provide it if requested? I looked in AlphaVantage they have News but they may include it if requested. I know Yahoo Finance has an Economics Events Calendar they may include it in theirs.

That this might be a breaking change so let's keep the name untouched.

Probably when pigs begin to fly. But there's a simpler way and it's just added to for upcoming build 10 of the DataExtensions. The plot below identifies dates of the ECB meetings and the ECB key rate at the bottom (Fundamental indicator > "ECB" item):
Note that the ECB not necessarily changes the rate at a meeting.
P.S. I'm not familiar with BoE related series and events so count me out on that.
Thanks Eugene. There is sometimes intraday volatility in the Euro currencies during the news on that day.
