    GUIDELINE OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK

    of 31 May 2007

    amending Guideline ECB/2004/15 on the statistical reporting requirements of the European Central Bank in the field of balance of payments and international investment position statistics, and the international reserves template

    (ECB/2007/3)

    (2007/426/EC)

    THE GOVERNING COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK,

    Having regard to the Statute of the European System of Central Banks and of the European Central Bank, and in particular Article 5.1 and 5.2 thereof,

    Whereas:

    (1)

    Due to changing needs resulting from economic and technical developments, it is necessary to regularly update the data requirements in Guideline ECB/2004/15 of 16 July 2004 on the statistical reporting requirements of the European Central Bank in the field of balance of payments and international investment position statistics, and the international reserves template (1), and to readjust the level of the breakdown required under that Guideline.

    (2)

    When further Member States adopt the euro, it will be necessary to compile back data for the euro area aggregate in its new composition, on balance of payments (including the seasonally adjusted current account) and international investment position statistics. Certain amendments to Guideline ECB/2004/15 are therefore required to cater for future enlargements of the euro area in respect of the provision of back data. The period for which such back data must be provided may be reassessed by 2010.

    (3)

    The Nationale Bank van België/Banque Nationale de Belgique is responsible for providing back data for both Belgium and Luxembourg prior to January 2002 and therefore can only provide joint back data for Belgium and Luxembourg prior to January 2002.

    (4)

    The availability of a functioning Centralised Securities Database (CSDB) of sufficient quality is essential for ensuring the smooth operation of security-by-security data collection systems and for fulfilling the target coverage referred to in Annex VI to Guideline ECB/2004/15 at the quality level specified in that Guideline. The Governing Council, having regard to any observations by the General Council, will assess, in the course of 2007 and afterwards if relevant, whether the quality (including coverage) of the securities information in the CSDB and the arrangements for data exchange with the Member States are sufficient to enable national central banks (NCBs), or other competent statistical authorities where relevant, to meet the quality standards specified in Guideline ECB/2004/15,

    HAS ADOPTED THIS GUIDELINE:

    Article 1

    Guideline ECB/2004/15 is amended as follows:

    1.

    Article 2 is amended as follows:

    (a)

    Paragraph 6 is replaced by the following:

    ‘6.   From March 2008, starting with data corresponding to January 2008 transactions and to end-2007 positions, portfolio investment collection systems shall conform to one of the models set out in the table contained in Annex VI. The chosen model may be phased in to enable the individual NCB to reach the target coverage indicated in Annex VI at the latest by March 2009, in relation to December 2008 stocks.’

    (b)

    The following paragraph 7 is added:

    ‘7.

    (a)

    In respect of any Member State that adopts the euro on or after 1 January 2007, both the NCB of that Member State and the NCBs of all other participating Member States at the time such Member State adopts the euro shall provide the ECB with back data corresponding to the data required under Tables 1 to 8 of Annex II, to enable the compilation of aggregates covering the euro area in its new composition. These NCBs shall provide the back data from the reference dates set out below, with the exception of the breakdowns listed under Table 13, for which the earliest reference period to be reported shall be the one indicated in that table. All back data may be provided on a best estimate basis.

    (i)

    If the Member State that adopts the euro joined the EU before May 2004, the back data shall cover, as a minimum, the period from 1999.

    (ii)

    If the Member State that adopts the euro joined the EU in May 2004, the back data shall cover, as a minimum, the period from 2004.

    (iii)

    If the Member State that adopts the euro joined the EU after May 2004, the back data shall cover, as a minimum, the period from the date on which that Member State joined the EU.

    (b)

    If the back data referred to in subparagraph (a) do not already include monthly observations covering five years for each of the four main sub-items of the balance of payments current account, namely goods, services, income and current transfers, then the NCBs shall ensure that the data which they provide include such observations.

    (c)

    By derogation from subparagraph (a), the Banque centrale du Luxembourg shall not be required to transmit back data for the period ending December 2001 and the Nationale Bank van België/Banque Nationale de Belgique shall transmit joint back data for Belgium and Luxembourg for the period ending December 2001.’

    2.

    Article 3 is amended as follows:

    Paragraph 6 is replaced by the following:

    ‘6.   Transactions and positions in debt securities broken down by currency of issue shall be made available to the ECB within six months of the end of the period to which the data relate.’

    3.

    Article 6 is amended as follows:

    The following new paragraph 4a is inserted after paragraph 4:

    ‘4a.   Best estimates shall be permitted for the following breakdowns in Table 2 of Annex II:

    (a)

    sub-items of income on other investment: I C 2.3.1 to C 2.3.3, and memorandum items 1 to 4;

    (b)

    sub-items of current transfers: I D 1.1 to D 1.8 and D 2.2.1 to D 2.2.11; and

    (c)

    sub-items of capital transfers: II A.1 and A.2.’

    4.

    Annexes II, III and VI to Guideline ECB/2004/15 are amended in accordance with Annexes I, II and III, respectively, to this Guideline.

    Article 2

    Entry into force

    This Guideline shall enter into force on the 20th day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

    Article 3

    Addressees

    The following text is inserted immediately before Section 1:

    ‘The terms “resident” and “residing” fall within the definitions laid down in Article 1(4) of Council Regulation (EC) No 2533/98. In the case of the euro area, the economic territory comprises: (i) the economic territory of the participating Member States; and (ii) the ECB, which is regarded as a resident unit of the euro area.

    The rest of the world (RoW) comprises the economic territories outside the euro area, i.e. Member States that have not adopted the euro, all third countries and international organisations, including those physically located within the euro area. All EU institutions (*1) are considered to be resident outside the euro area. Consequently, all transactions of participating Member States vis-à-vis EU institutions are recorded and classified as non-euro area transactions in the euro area balance of payments and international investment position statistics.

    In the cases set out below, residence is determined as follows:
