Whereas:
(1) |
Council Regulation (EU) No 40/2013 of 21 January 2013 fixing for 2013 the fishing opportunities available in EU waters and, to EU vessels, in certain non-EU waters for certain fish stocks and groups of fish stocks which are subject to international negotiations or agreements (2) fixes the amount of bluefin tuna which may be fished in 2013 in the Atlantic Ocean, east of longitude 45° W, and the Mediterranean Sea by European Union fishing vessels and traps. |
(2) |
Council Regulation (EC) No 302/2009 of 6 April 2009 concerning a multiannual recovery plan for bluefin tuna in the Eastern Atlantic and Mediterranean, amending Regulation (EC) No 43/2009 and repealing Regulation (EC) No 1559/2007, (3) requires Member States to inform the Commission of the individual quota allocated to their vessels over 24 metres. For catching vessels less than 24 metres and for traps, Member States need to inform the Commission at least of the quota allocated to producer organisations or groups of vessels fishing with similar gear. |
(3) |
The Common Fisheries Policy is designed to ensure the long-term viability of the fisheries sector through sustainable exploitation of living aquatic resources based on the precautionary approach. |
(4) |
In accordance with Article 36, paragraph 2 of Council Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009, where the Commission finds that, on the basis of information provided by Member States and of other information in its possession, fishing opportunities available to the European Union, a Member State or group of Member States are deemed to have been exhausted for one or more gears or fleets, the Commission shall inform the Member State(s) concerned thereof and shall prohibit fishing activities for the respective area, gear, stock, group of stocks or fleet involved in those specific fishing activities. |
(5) |
The information in the Commission's possession indicates that the fishing opportunities for bluefin tuna in the Atlantic Ocean, east of longitude 45° W, and the Mediterranean Sea allocated to traps registered in Spain have been exhausted. |
(6) |
On the 10, 12 and 19 June, Spain informed the Commission of the fact that it had imposed a stop on the fishing activities of its 4 traps active in the 2013 bluefin tuna fishery with effect from 11 June for two traps, with effect from 12 June for one trap and with effect from 20 June for the remaining trap resulting in the prohibition of all the activities as of 20 June 2013 at 00:00. |
(7) |
Without prejudice to the actions by Spain mentioned above, it is necessary that the Commission confirms the prohibition of fishing for bluefin tuna in the Atlantic Ocean, east of longitude 45° W and the Mediterranean Sea by traps registered in Spain with effect from 20 June 2013 at 00:00 at the latest. |
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Fishing for bluefin tuna in the Atlantic Ocean, east of longitude 45° W, and the Mediterranean Sea by traps registered in Spain shall be prohibited as from 20 June 2013 at 00:00 at the latest.
Bluefin tuna caught by those traps as from that date shall not be retained on board, placed in cages for fattening or farming, transhipped, transferred, harvested or landed.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

DECISION OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK
of 21 June 2013
laying down the measures necessary for the contribution to the European Central Bank’s accumulated equity value and for adjusting the national central banks’ claims equivalent to the transferred foreign reserve assets
(ECB/2013/15)
(2013/357/EU)
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 (hereinafter the ‘Statute of the ESCB’), and in particular Article 30 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) |
In view of the accession of Croatia to the European Union and its national central bank (NCB), Hrvatska narodna banka, joining the European System of Central Banks (ESCB) on 1 July 2013, Decision ECB/2013/17 of 21 June 2013 on the national central banks’ percentage shares in the key for subscription to the European Central Bank’s capital (1) provides for the expansion of the key for subscription to the capital of the European Central Bank (ECB) (hereinafter ‘capital key’) in accordance with Article 29.3 of the Statute of the ESCB and establishes, with effect from 1 July 2013, the new weightings assigned to each NCB in the expanded capital key (hereinafter the ‘capital key weightings’). |
(2) |
The adjustments to the capital key weightings and the resulting changes in the NCBs’ shares in the ECB’s subscribed capital make it necessary to adjust the claims which the ECB has credited under Article 30.3 of the Statute of the ESCB to the NCBs of the Member States whose currency is the euro (hereinafter the ‘euro area NCBs’) and which are equivalent to the contributions by euro area NCBs of foreign reserve assets to the ECB (hereinafter the ‘claims’). Those euro area NCBs whose claims increase due to the increase in their capital key weightings from 1 July 2013 should therefore effect a compensatory transfer to the ECB, while the ECB should effect a compensatory transfer to those euro area NCBs whose claims decrease due to a decrease in their capital key weightings. |
(3) |
The limit on the amount of foreign reserve assets that may be transferred to the ECB will be equivalent to EUR 57 951 042 976,26 with effect from 1 July 2013. |
(4) |
In accordance with the general principles of fairness, equal treatment and the protection of legitimate expectations underlying the Statute of the ESCB, those euro area NCBs whose relative share in the ECB’s accumulated equity value increases due to the abovementioned adjustments should also effect a compensatory transfer to those euro area NCBs whose relative shares decrease. |
(5) |
The respective capital key weightings of each euro area NCB until 30 June 2013 and with effect from 1 July 2013 should be expressed as a percentage of the ECB’s total capital as subscribed to by all euro area NCBs for the purpose of calculating the adjustment of the value of each euro area NCB’s share in the ECB’s accumulated equity value. |
(6) |
Accordingly, the adoption of a new ECB decision is required that repeals Decision ECB/2008/27 of 12 December 2008 laying down the measures necessary for the contribution to the European Central Bank’s accumulated equity value and for adjusting the national central banks’ claims equivalent to the transferred foreign reserve assets (2), |
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
Definitions
For the purposes of this Decision:
(a) |
‘accumulated equity value’ means the total of the ECB’s reserves, revaluation accounts and provisions equivalent to reserves as calculated by the ECB as at 30 June 2013, plus or minus the ECB’s accumulated net profit or loss, as the case may be, from 1 January 2013 until 30 June 2013. The ECB’s reserves and those provisions equivalent to reserves shall include, without limitation to the generality of the ‘accumulated equity value’, the general reserve fund and the provision for foreign exchange rate, interest rate, credit and gold price risks; |
(b) |
‘transfer date’ means 12 July 2013; |
(c) |
the ‘ECB’s income on euro banknotes’ shall have the same meaning as the term ‘ECB’s income on euro banknotes in circulation’ as defined in Article 1(c) of Decision ECB/2010/24 of 25 November 2010 on the interim distribution of the income of the European Central Bank on euro banknotes in circulation and arising from securities purchased under the securities markets programme (3); |
(d) |
the ‘ECB’s income on SMP’ shall have the same meaning as the term ‘ECB’s income arising from SMP securities’ as defined in Article 1(d) of Decision ECB/2010/24. |
Article 2
Contribution to the ECB’s reserves and provisions
1. If a euro area NCB’s share in the accumulated equity value increases due to the increase in its capital key weighting with effect from 1 July 2013, that euro area NCB shall transfer the amount determined pursuant to paragraph 3 to the ECB on the transfer date.
2. If a euro area NCB’s share in the accumulated equity value decreases due to the decrease in its capital key weighting with effect from 1 July 2013, that euro area NCB shall receive the amount determined pursuant to paragraph 3 from the ECB on the transfer date.
3. The ECB shall, on 12 July 2013, calculate and confirm to each euro area NCB either the amount to be transferred by that euro area NCB to the ECB where paragraph 1 applies, or the amount which that euro area NCB shall receive from the ECB where paragraph 2 applies. Subject to rounding, each amount to be transferred or received shall be calculated by multiplying the accumulated equity value by the absolute difference between each euro area NCB’s capital key weighting on 30 June 2013 and its capital key weighting with effect from 1 July 2013 and dividing the result by 100.
4. Each amount described in paragraph 3 shall be due in euro on 1 July 2013 but shall be effectively transferred on the transfer date.
5. On the transfer date, a euro area NCB or the ECB having to transfer an amount under paragraph 1 or paragraph 2 shall also separately transfer any interest accruing over the period from 1 July 2013 until the transfer date on each of the respective amounts due from such euro area NCB and the ECB. The transferors and recipients of this interest shall be the same as the transferors and recipients of the amounts on which the interest accrues.
6. If the accumulated equity value is less than zero, the amounts that have to be transferred or received under paragraph 3 and paragraph 5 shall be settled in the opposite directions to those specified in paragraph 3 and paragraph 5.
Article 3
Adjustment of the claims equivalent to the transferred foreign reserve assets
1. The euro area NCBs’ claims shall be adjusted with effect from 1 July 2013 in accordance with their adjusted capital key weightings. The value of the euro area NCBs’ claims with effect from 1 July 2013 is shown in the third column of the table in the Annex to this Decision.
2. Each euro area NCB shall, by virtue of this provision and without any further formality or act being required, be considered to have either transferred or received on 1 July 2013 the absolute value of the claim (in euro) shown next to its name in the fourth column of the table in the Annex to this Decision, whereby ‘–’ shall refer to a claim that the euro area NCB shall transfer to the ECB and ‘+’ to a claim that the ECB shall transfer to the euro area NCB.
3. On 1 July 2013, each euro area NCB shall either transfer or receive the absolute value of the amount (in euro) shown next to its name in the fourth column of the table in the Annex to this Decision, whereby ‘+’ shall refer to an amount that the euro area NCB shall transfer to the ECB and ‘–’ to an amount that the ECB shall transfer to the euro area NCB.
Article 4
Related financial issues
1. By way of derogation from the third subparagraph of Article 2(1) of Decision ECB/2010/23 of 25 November 2010 on the allocation of monetary income of the national central banks of Member States whose currency is the euro (4), the intra‐Eurosystem balances on euro banknotes in circulation shall, for the period from 1 July 2013 until 30 July 2013, be calculated on the basis of the capital key applicable from 1 July 2013 applied to balances on the total euro banknotes in circulation on 28 June 2013. For the period from 1 July 2013 until 31 December 2013, the compensatory amounts and the accounting entries to balance those amounts, as described in Article 4(5) of Decision ECB/2010/23, shall be recorded in the books of each NCB with a value date of 1 July 2013.
2. In relation to the period from 1 January 2013 until 30 June 2013, the euro area NCBs’ monetary income shall be allocated and distributed in accordance with the capital key weightings applicable on 30 June 2013.
3. The ECB’s net profit or loss, as the case may be, for the financial year 2013 shall be allocated on the basis of the capital key weightings applicable on 1 July 2013.
4. Any interim distribution of the ECB’s income on euro banknotes and/or the ECB’s income on SMP for the year 2013 shall be allocated on the basis of the capital key weightings applicable on 1 July 2013.
5. In the event that the ECB makes a loss in the financial year 2013, the ECB shall offset the loss against the following:
(a) |
funds released from the ECB’s general reserve fund; |
(b) |
subject to a decision of the Governing Council under Article 33 of the Statute of the ESCB, the NCBs’ monetary income from 1 July 2013 until 31 December 2013; |
(c) |
subject to a decision of the Governing Council under Article 33 of the Statute of the ESCB, the NCBs’ monetary income from 1 January 2013 to 30 June 2013. |
6. If the NCBs’ pooled monetary income from 1 January 2013 until 30 June 2013 needs to be transferred to the ECB to cover its loss for the year, compensatory payments in addition to the payments described in Article 2 and Article 3 shall be made. Each euro area NCB whose capital key weighting increases on 1 July 2013 shall make such a payment to the ECB, and the ECB shall make such a payment to each euro area NCB whose capital key weighting decreases on 1 July 2013. The amount of the compensatory payments shall be calculated as follows. The total monetary income for the period from 1 January 2013 until 30 June 2013 transferred to the ECB to cover its loss shall be multiplied by the absolute difference between the euro area NCB’s capital key weighting on 30 June 2013 and its capital key weighting on 1 July 2013 and the result shall be divided by 100. Interest shall accrue on the compensatory payments relating to the NCBs’ monetary income from 1 January 2014 until the payment date of these payments.
7. The additional compensatory payments relating to the NCBs’ monetary income as described in paragraph 6, as well as the interest accrued thereon, shall be paid on the second working day after the second Governing Council meeting held in February 2014.
Article 5
General provisions
1. The interest accruing under Article 2(5) and Article 4(6) shall be calculated on a daily basis, using the actual over-360-day method of calculation, at a rate equal to the latest available marginal interest rate used by the Eurosystem in its tenders for main refinancing operations.
2. Each transfer pursuant to Article 2(1), (2) and (5), Article 3(3) and Article 4(6) and (7) shall take place separately through TARGET2.
3. The ECB and the euro area NCBs that are under an obligation to effect any of the transfers referred to in paragraph 2 shall, in due course, give the necessary instructions for duly executing such transfers on time.
Article 6
Entry into force and repeal
1. This Decision shall enter into force on 1 July 2013.
2. Decision ECB/2008/27 is repealed with effect from 1 July 2013.
3. References to Decision ECB/2008/27 shall be construed as references to this Decision.

DECISION OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK
of 21 June 2013
on the national central banks’ percentage shares in the key for subscription to the European Central Bank’s capital
(ECB/2013/17)
(2013/359/EU)
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 (hereinafter the ‘Statute of the ESCB’) and in particular Article 29.4 and Article 48.3 thereof,
Having regard to the contribution of the General Council of the European Central Bank (ECB) in accordance with the fourth indent of Article 46.2 of the Statute of the ESCB,
Whereas:
(1) |
Decision ECB/2008/23 of 12 December 2008 on the national central banks’ percentage shares in the key for subscription to the European Central Bank’s capital (1) laid down with effect from 1 January 2009 the weightings assigned to those national central banks (NCBs) that were members of the European System of Central Banks (ESCB) on 1 January 2009 in the key for subscription to the ECB’s capital (hereinafter the ‘capital key weightings’ and the ‘capital key’ respectively). |
(2) |
In view of the accession of Croatia to the European Union and its NCB, Hrvatska narodna banka, joining the ESCB on 1 July 2013, the ECB’s subscribed capital should automatically be increased pursuant to Article 48.3 of the Statute of the ESCB. This increase requires the calculation of the capital key weighting of each NCB that will be a member of the ESCB on 1 July 2013 by analogy with Article 29.1 and in compliance with Article 29.2 of the Statute of the ESCB. |
(3) |
In accordance with Council Decision 2003/517/EC of 15 July 2003 on the statistical data to be used for the adjustment of the key for subscription to the capital of the European Central Bank (2), the European Commission provided the ECB with the statistical data to be used in determining the adjusted capital key. |
(4) |
By analogy with Articles 3.5 and 6.6 of the Rules of Procedure of the General Council of the European Central Bank (3), and in view of the General Council’s contribution to this Decision, the Governor of Hrvatska narodna banka has had the opportunity to submit observations regarding this Decision prior to its adoption, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
Rounding
Where the European Commission provides revised statistical data to be used in adjusting the capital key and the figures do not total 100 %, the difference shall be compensated for: (i) if the total is below 100 %, by adding 0,0001 of a percentage point to the smallest share(s) in ascending order until exactly 100 % is reached, or (ii) if the total is above 100 %, by subtracting 0,0001 of a percentage point in descending order from the largest share(s) until exactly 100 % is reached.
Article 2

DECISION OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK
of 21 June 2013
laying down the terms and conditions for transfers of the European Central Bank’s capital shares between the national central banks and for the adjustment of the paid-up capital
(ECB/2013/18)
(2013/360/EU)
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 (hereinafter the ‘Statute of the ESCB’), and in particular Article 28.5 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) |
Decision ECB/2013/17 of 21 June 2013 on the national central banks’ percentage shares in the key for subscription to the European Central Bank’s capital (1) provides for the adjustment of the weightings assigned to the national central banks (NCBs) in the key for subscription to the European Central Bank’s (ECB’s) capital (hereinafter the ‘capital key weightings’ and the ‘capital key’ respectively) in view of the accession of Croatia to the European Union and its NCB, Hrvatska narodna banka, joining the European System of Central Banks (ESCB) on 1 July 2013. This adjustment requires the Governing Council to determine the terms and conditions for transfers of capital shares between the NCBs that are members of the ESCB on 30 June 2013 in order to ensure that the distribution of these shares corresponds to the adjustments made. Accordingly, the adoption of a new decision is required that repeals Decision ECB/2008/25 of 12 December 2008 laying down the terms and conditions for transfers of the European Central Bank’s capital shares between the national central banks and for the adjustment of the paid-up capital (2) with effect from 1 July 2013. |
(2) |
Hrvatska narodna banka will not join the ESCB until 1 July 2013, which means that the transfer of capital pursuant to Article 28.5 of the Statute of the ESCB does not apply to it on this occasion. |
(3) |
Decision ECB/2013/19 of 21 June 2013 on the paying-up of the European Central Bank’s capital by the national central banks of Member States whose currency is the euro (3) determines how and to what extent the national central banks of the Member States whose currency is the euro (hereinafter ‘euro area NCBs’) are under an obligation to pay up the ECB’s capital in view of the expanded capital key. Decision ECB/2013/20 of 21 June 2013 on the paying-up of the European Central Bank’s capital by the non-euro area national central banks (4) determines the percentage that the national central banks of the Member States whose currency is not the euro (hereinafter ‘non-euro area NCBs’) are under an obligation to pay up with effect from 1 July 2013 in view of the expanded capital key. |
(4) |
The euro area NCBs have already paid up their shares in the ECB’s subscribed capital as required under Decision ECB/2010/27 of 13 December 2010 on the paying-up of the increase of the European Central Bank’s capital by the national central banks of Member States whose currency is the euro (5). In view of this, Article 2(1) of Decision ECB/2013/19 states that euro area NCBs should either transfer an additional amount to the ECB, or receive an amount back from the ECB, as appropriate, in order to arrive at the amounts shown in the table in Article 1 of Decision ECB/2013/19. Decision ECB/2010/27 supplements Decision ECB/2008/24 of 12 December 2008 laying down the measures necessary for the paying-up of the European Central bank’s capital by the participating national central banks (6). |
(5) |
Likewise, the non-euro area NCBs, with the exception of Hrvatska narodna banka, have already paid up a percentage of their shares in the ECB’s subscribed capital as required under Decision ECB/2010/28 of 13 December 2010 on the paying-up of the European Central Bank’s capital by the non-euro area national central banks (7). In view of this, Article 2(1) of Decision ECB/2013/20 states that each of them should either transfer an additional amount to the ECB, or receive an amount back from the ECB, as appropriate, in order to arrive at the amounts shown in the third column of the table in Article 1 of Decision ECB/2013/20. Article 2(2) of Decision ECB/2013/20 states that Hrvatska narodna banka should transfer to the ECB the amount shown next to its name in the third column of the table in Article 1 of the same Decision, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
Transfer of capital shares
Given the share in the ECB’s capital that each NCB, with the exception of Hrvatska narodna banka, will have subscribed on 30 June 2013, and the share in the ECB’s capital that each NCB will subscribe with effect from 1 July 2013 as a consequence of the adjustment of the capital key weightings laid down in Article 2 of Decision ECB/2013/17, the NCBs shall transfer capital shares among themselves via transfers to and from the ECB to ensure that the distribution of capital shares with effect from 1 July 2013 corresponds to the adjusted weightings. To this effect, each NCB shall, by virtue of this Article and without the need for any further formality or act, be deemed to have either transferred or received with effect from 1 July 2013 the share in the ECB’s subscribed capital shown next to its name in the fourth column of the table in Annex I to this Decision, whereby ‘+’ shall refer to a capital share that the ECB shall transfer to the NCB and ‘-’ to a capital share that the NCB shall transfer to the ECB.
Article 2
Adjustment of the paid-up capital
Given the amount of the ECB’s capital that each NCB has paid up and the amount of the ECB’s capital that each NCB shall pay up with effect from 1 July 2013 pursuant to Article 1 of Decision ECB/2013/19 for the euro area NCBs and Article 1 of Decision ECB/2013/20 for the non-euro area NCBs respectively, on 1 July 2013 each NCB shall either transfer or receive the net amount shown next to its name in the fourth column of the table in Annex II to this Decision, whereby ‘+’ shall refer to an amount that the NCB shall transfer to the ECB and ‘-’ to an amount that the ECB shall transfer to that NCB.
Article 3
General provisions
1. The transfers described in Article 2 shall take place through TARGET2.
2. Where an NCB does not have access to TARGET2, the amounts described in Article 2 shall be transferred by crediting an account that the ECB or NCB shall nominate in due time.
3. In the event of non-payment on 1 July 2013, interest due from 1 July 2013 until the day of payment shall be calculated on a daily basis, using the actual over-360-day method of calculation, at a rate equal to the latest available marginal interest rate used by the Eurosystem in its tenders for main refinancing operations. The transferors and recipients of this interest shall be the same as the transferors and recipients of the amounts on which the interest accrues. Payment of the amounts described in Article 2 and the interest payments shall be made in two separate transactions.
4. The ECB and the NCBs that are under an obligation to make a transfer under Article 2 shall, in due course, give the necessary instructions for duly executing such transfer on time.
Article 4
Entry into force and repeal
1. This Decision shall enter into force on 1 July 2013.
2. Decision ECB/2008/25 is repealed with effect from 1 July 2013.
3. References to Decision ECB/2008/25 shall be construed as being made to this Decision.
