GUIDELINE (EU) 2016/1061 OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK
of 26 May 2016
amending Guideline ECB/2008/8 on data collection regarding the euro and the operation of the Currency Information System 2 (ECB/2016/15)
THE GOVERNING COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 128 thereof,
Having regard to the Statute of the European System of Central Banks and of the European Central Bank, and in particular Articles 5 and 16 thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3603/93 of 13 December 1993 specifying definitions for the application of the prohibitions referred to in Articles 104 and 104b(1) of the Treaty (1), and in particular Article 6 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) |
Article 128(1) of the Treaty and Article 16 of the Statute of the European System of Central Banks and of the European Central Bank (hereinafter the ‘Statute of the ESCB’) provide that the European Central Bank (ECB) has the exclusive right to authorise the issue of euro banknotes within the Union. |
(2) |
Article 128(2) of the Treaty provides that Member States may issue coins subject to approval by the ECB of the volume of the issue. Therefore, the ECB adopts annual decisions approving the volume of coin issuance by the Member States which have adopted the euro (hereinafter the ‘participating Member States’) and decisions approving additional volumes of coin issuance by one or several participating Member States on an ad hoc basis. |
(3) |
Article 5 of the Statute of the ESCB provides that in order to perform the tasks of the European System of Central Banks (ESCB) the ECB, assisted by the national central banks (NCBs), should collect the necessary statistical information, which comprises statistical information in the area of euro banknote and coin issuance. |
(4) |
Furthermore, the ECB needs to collect information for the purpose of monitoring compliance with the prohibition established by Article 123 of the Treaty and implemented by Regulation (EC) No 3603/93. In particular, Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 3603/93 provides that the holding by any NCBs of euro coins issued by and credited to the public sector should not be regarded as a credit facility within the meaning of Article 123 of the Treaty where the amount of those assets remains at less than 10 % of the coins in circulation. |
(5) |
Without prejudice to the competences of the Member States with regard to the issuance of euro coins, and taking into account the essential role of most NCBs in the distribution of euro coins, in order to perform the tasks described above, the ECB, together with NCBs, needs to collect data on euro banknotes as well as on euro coins. Such data collection should facilitate decision-making in the area of euro banknote and coin issuance and should enable the ECB to monitor compliance with any decisions in this area as regards planning the production of euro banknotes and coordinating their issuance, putting euro banknotes into circulation and arranging any necessary transfers of euro banknotes between NCBs. The synergy effects of such data collection should also enable the ECB to supply data, where so requested, to the institutions and bodies with competences with regard to euro coins. |
(6) |
The procedure for collecting data related to euro banknotes needs to be improved, in particular by integrating certain elements of Article 2a of Guideline ECB/2008/8 (2) into Article 2 and by deleting elements that are no longer required. |
(7) |
The procedure for collecting data related to euro coins should also be improved. |
(8) |
A definition of the term ‘coin-issuing entities’ in line with Article 128(2) of the Treaty should be included for reasons of legal clarity. |
(9) |
The procedure for collecting data related to cash infrastructure and operational activities of third parties should also be improved. Certain provisions defining when data needs to be reported for the first time and defining transitional periods are no longer required. |
(10) |
Access to the Currency Information System 2 (CIS 2) will be restricted to the ECB, the NCBs and any future Eurosystem NCB. The possibility of granting access to eligible third parties will no longer be available. Interested third parties, such as the European Commission and coin issuing entities with regard to coin-related data, will be informed by the ECB's Directorate Banknotes. |
(11) |
Further minor amendments are required to update the procedures for the collection of statistical information in the area of euro banknote and coin issuance. |
(12) |
Therefore, Guideline ECB/2008/8 should be amended accordingly, |
