amending Implementing Regulation (EU) No 170/2013 laying down transitional measures in the sugar sector by reason of the accession of Croatia

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty of Accession of Croatia,

COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No 51/2014

of 20 January 2014

amending Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards maximum residue levels for dimethomorph, indoxacarb and pyraclostrobin in or on certain products

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 February 2005 on maximum residue levels of pesticides in or on food and feed of plant and animal origin and amending Council Directive 91/414/EEC (1), and in particular Article 14(1)(a) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

For dimethomorph, indoxacarb and pyraclostrobin maximum residue levels (MRLs) were set in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005.

(2)

In the context of a procedure for the authorisation of the use of a plant protection product containing the active substance dimethomorph on seeds of spices (except nutmeg) and on caraway fruits, an application was made in accordance with Article 6(1) of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 for modification of the existing MRLs.

(3)

As regards indoxacarb, such an application was made for cress, land cress, red mustard, other lettuce and salad plants, purslane, beet leaves and other spinach and similar (leaves). As regards pyraclostrobin, such an application was made for Jerusalem artichokes.

(4)

In accordance with Article 8 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 these applications were evaluated by the Member States concerned and the evaluation reports were forwarded to the Commission.

(5)

The European Food Safety Authority, hereinafter ‘the Authority’, assessed the applications and the evaluation reports, examining in particular the risks to the consumer and, where relevant, to animals and gave reasoned opinions on the proposed MRLs (2). It forwarded these opinions to the Commission and the Member States and made them available to the public.

(6)

For all applications, the Authority concluded that all requirements with respect to data were met and that the modifications to the MRLs requested by the applicants were acceptable with regard to consumer safety on the basis of a consumer exposure assessment for 27 specific European consumer groups. It took into account the most recent information on the toxicological properties of the substances. Neither the lifetime exposure to these substances via consumption of all food products that may contain those substances, nor the short-term exposure due to high consumption of the relevant crops and products showed that there is a risk that the acceptable daily intake (ADI) or the acute reference dose (ARfD) is exceeded.

(7)

Based on the reasoned opinions of the Authority and taking into account the factors relevant to the matter under consideration, the appropriate modifications to the MRLs fulfil the relevant requirements of Article 14(2) of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005.

(8)

As regards dimethomorph, indoxacarb and pyraclostrobin, MRLs were set for several commodities by Commission Regulation (EU) No 668/2013 of 12 July 2013 (3). As that Regulation applies as of 2 February 2014, it is appropriate for the MRLs provided for by this Regulation, to apply from the same date.

(9)

Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 should therefore be amended accordingly.

(10)

The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.

Article 2

This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

It shall apply from 2 February 2014.

This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

COMMISSION DECISION

of 17 January 2014

on the notification by the Slovak Republic of a transitional national plan referred to in Article 32 of Directive 2010/75/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council on industrial emissions

(notified under document C(2014) 59)

(Only the Slovak text is authentic)

(2014/25/EU)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Directive 2010/75/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 November 2010 on industrial emissions (integrated pollution prevention and control) (1), and in particular Article 32(5), second subparagraph thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

In accordance with Article 32(5) first subparagraph of Directive 2010/75/EU, the Slovak Republic submitted to the Commission its transitional national plan (TNP) on 8 January 2013 (2).

(2)

During the assessment of the completeness of the TNP, the Commission found some inconsistencies between the list of plants included in the TNP and those reported by the Slovak Republic in its emission inventory for 2009 under Directive 2001/80/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (3).

(3)

By letter of 12 June 2013 (4), the Commission requested the Slovak authorities to confirm that the aggregation rules set out in Article 29 of Directive 2010/75/EU and the definition of ‘operating hours’ set out in Article 3(27) of Directive 2010/75/EU had been applied correctly. The Commission also asked to provide additional data, in particular clarification about any inconsistencies between the TNP and the emission inventory under Directive 2001/80/EC.

(4)

The Slovak Republic submitted additional information by letter of 27 June 2013 (5).

(5)

Based on the analysis of the updated information, the Commission, by letter of 23 July 2013 (6), requested the Slovak authorities to confirm that none of the plants that benefited from a derogation under Article 4(4) of Directive 2001/80/EC was included in the TNP. The Commission also requested the Slovak authorities to verify a number of emission limit values used for the calculations and to provide evidence that the criteria justifying their application were met.

(6)

By letter of 16 August 2013 (7), the Slovak Republic informed the Commission that two plants had been removed from the TNP. For the plant ‘U.S. Steel Košice, s.r.o., boilers K1-K5’, the Slovak Republic clarified that, although part of the plant had been subject to the derogation under Article 4(4) of Directive 2001/80/EC during a number of years, that part had been rebuilt in 2010. The Slovak Republic argued that this plant could therefore be included in the TNP. The Slovak Republic also provided a number of corrected emission limit values, but for two plants no justification was provided for using specific emission limit values.

(7)

By letter of 27 September 2013 (8), the Commission informed the Slovak Republic that, according to Article 32(1)(d) of Directive 2010/75/EU, and based on the information provided, the plant ‘U.S. Steel Košice, s.r.o., boilers K1-K5’, part of which had applied the derogation under Article 4(4) of Directive 2001/80/EC, could not be included in the TNP. The Commission also requested the Slovak authorities to provide additional information concerning the ash content of the liquid fuel fired in two plants for which an emission limit value for dust of 100 mg/Nm3 had been applied.

(8)

By letter of 30 September 2013 (9), the Slovak Republic informed the Commission that the emission limit value for dust used for the two plants had been reduced to 50 mg/Nm3. The Slovak Republic provided additional information to support the argument that the plant ‘U.S. Steel Košice, s.r.o., boilers K1-K5’ would not fall under Article 32(1)(d) of Directive 2010/75/EU and could be included in the TNP.

(9)

Following a meeting between the Slovak authorities and representatives of the Commission on 11 October 2013, the Slovak Republic, by letter of 17 October 2013 (10) further clarified the situation of the plant ‘U.S. Steel Košice, s.r.o., boilers K1-K5’, by specifying that only one boiler had been applying the derogation under Article 4(4) of Directive 2001/80/EC and by providing a detailed technical description of all changes introduced for that boiler during its reconstruction in 2010. This made clear that in 2010 an entirely new boiler had been constructed within the plant ‘U.S. Steel Košice, s.r.o., boilers K1-K5’ following the complete dismantling and replacement of the boiler that had previously been subject to the derogation under Article 4(4) of Directive 2001/80/EC. This means that the plant concerned does not fall under Article 32(1)(d) of Directive 2010/75/EU and can be included in the TNP, in conformity with Commission Implementing Decision 2012/115/EU (11).

(10)

The TNP has been assessed by the Commission in accordance with Article 32(1), (3) and (4) of Directive 2010/75/EU and with Implementing Decision 2012/115/EU.

(11)

In particular, the Commission has examined the consistency and correctness of the data, assumptions and calculations used for determining the contributions of each of the combustion plants covered by the TNP to the emission ceilings set out in the TNP, and has analysed whether it contains objectives and related targets, measures and timetables for reaching these objectives and a monitoring mechanism to assess future compliance.

(12)

Further to the additional information submitted, the Commission found that the emission ceilings for the years 2016 and 2019 were calculated using the appropriate data and formulae and that the calculations were correct. The Slovak Republic has provided sufficient information regarding the measures that will be implemented in order to achieve the emission ceilings, the monitoring and the reporting to the Commission on the implementation of the TNP.

(13)

The Commission is satisfied that the Slovak authorities have taken into consideration the provisions listed in Article 32(1), (3) and (4) of Directive 2010/75/EU and in Implementing Decision 2012/115/EU.

(14)

The implementation of the TNP should be without prejudice to other applicable national and Union law. In particular, by setting individual permit conditions for the combustion plants covered by the TNP, the Slovak Republic should ensure that compliance with the requirements set out in, inter alia, Directive 2010/75/EU, Directive 2008/50/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (12) and Directive 2001/81/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (13) is not jeopardised.

(15)

Article 32(6) of Directive 2010/75/EU requires the Slovak Republic to inform the Commission of any subsequent changes to the TNP. The Commission should assess whether those changes comply with the provisions laid down in Article 32(1), (3) and (4) of Directive 2010/75/EU and in Implementing Decision 2012/115/EU.

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

1.   On the basis of Article 32(1), (3) and (4) of Directive 2010/75/EU and of Implementing Decision 2012/115/EU, no objections are raised against the transitional national plan, which the Slovak Republic notified to the Commission on 8 January 2013 pursuant to Article 32(5) of Directive 2010/75/EU, as amended in accordance with the additional information sent on 27 June 2013, 16 August 2013, 30 September 2013 and 17 October 2013 (14).

2.   The list of plants covered by the transitional national plan, the pollutants for which those plants are covered, and the applicable emission ceilings are laid down in the Annex.

3.   The implementation of the transitional national plan by the Slovak authorities shall not exempt the Slovak Republic from compliance with the provisions of Directive 2010/75/EU concerning the emissions from the individual combustion plants covered by the plan, and with other relevant bodies of the European Union environmental law.

Article 2

The Commission shall assess if any subsequent changes to the transitional national plan, notified by the Slovak Republic in the future, comply with the provisions listed in Article 32(1), (3) and (4) of Directive 2010/75/EU and in Implementing Decision 2012/115/EU.

Article 3

This Decision is addressed to the Slovak Republic.

COMMISSION DECISION

of 17 January 2014

on the notification by the Republic of Slovenia of a transitional national plan referred to in Article 32 of Directive 2010/75/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council on industrial emissions

(notified under document C(2014) 60)

(Only the Slovenian text is authentic)

(2014/26/EU)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Directive 2010/75/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 November 2010 on industrial emissions (integrated pollution prevention and control) (1), and in particular Article 32(5), second subparagraph thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

In accordance with Article 32(5) first subparagraph of Directive 2010/75/EU, the Republic of Slovenia submitted to the Commission its transitional national plan (TNP) on 14 December 2012 (2).

(2)

During its assessment of the completeness of this TNP, the Commission found that the methodology for calculating the contribution to the TNP ceilings for combustion plants including different types of units and/or firing multiple fuels was not correctly applied and that for one plant two different methods were used to establish its contribution to the SO2 ceilings. The Commission also noted that certain conversion factors for calculating the average annual waste gas flow rate were too high and that the TNP did not provide specific measures to ensure that the applicable emission limit values will be met from 1 July 2020 on.

(3)

Therefore, by letter 8 July 2013 (3), the Commission requested the Slovenian authorities to provide the missing data and information and do the necessary recalculations.

(4)

By letter of 26 July 2013 (4), the Republic of Slovenia submitted additional information to the Commission.

(5)

After further assessment of the TNP and the additional information received, the Commission sent a second letter to the Republic of Slovenia on 30 September 2013 (5) with the request to correct the emission limit value applied for one plant, to provide more detailed information on the conversion factor used for the calculation of the waste gas volumes and to clarify which method would be used for calculating the contribution to the SO2 ceilings for one plant using indigenous solid fuel.

(6)

By letter of 7 October 2013 (6), the Republic of Slovenia submitted the requested additional information concerning correction of the emission limit value for one plant, correction of the conversion factors for biomass for another plant, and confirming application of the minimum desulphurisation rate for the calculation of the contribution to the SO2 ceilings for one plant, in conformity with Commission Implementing Decision 2012/115/EU (7).

(7)

The TNP has therefore been assessed by the Commission in accordance with Article 32(1), (3) and (4) of Directive 2010/75/EU and with Implementing Decision 2012/115/EU.

(8)

In particular, the Commission has examined the consistency and correctness of the data, assumptions and calculations used for determining the contributions of each of the combustion plants covered by the TNP to the emission ceilings set out in the TNP, and has analysed whether it contains objectives and related targets, measures and timetables for reaching these objectives and a monitoring mechanism to assess future compliance.

(9)

Further to additional information submitted, the Commission found that the emission ceilings for the years 2016 and 2019 were calculated using the appropriate data and formulae and that the calculations were correct. The Republic of Slovenia has provided sufficient information regarding the measures that will be implemented in order to achieve emission ceilings, the monitoring and the reporting to the Commission on the implementation of the TNP.

(10)

The Commission is satisfied that the Slovenian authorities have taken into consideration the provisions listed in Article 32(1), (3) and (4) of Directive 2010/75/EU and in Implementing Decision 2012/115/EU.

(11)

The Commission considers that the implementation of the TNP should be without prejudice to other applicable national and Union law. In particular, when setting individual permit conditions for the combustion plants covered by the TNP, the Republic of Slovenia should ensure that compliance with the requirements set out in, inter alia, Directive 2010/75/EU, Directive 2008/50/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (8) and Directive 2001/81/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (9) is not jeopardised.

(12)

Article 32(6) of Directive 2010/75/EU requires the Republic of Slovenia to inform the Commission of any subsequent changes to the TNP. The Commission should assess whether those changes comply with the provisions laid down in Article 32(1), (3) and (4) of Directive 2010/75/EU and in Implementing Decision 2012/115/EU.

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

1.   On the basis of Article 32(1), (3) and (4) of Directive 2010/75/EU and of Implementing Decision 2012/115/EU, no objections are raised against the transitional national plan, which the Republic of Slovenia notified to the Commission on 14 December 2012 pursuant to Article 32(5) of Directive 2010/75/EU, as amended in accordance with the additional information sent on 26 July 2013 and 7 October 2013 (10).

2.   The list of plants covered by the transitional national plan, the pollutants for which those plants are covered, and the applicable emission ceilings are laid down in the Annex.

3.   The implementation of the transitional national plan by the Slovenian authorities shall not exempt the Republic of Slovenia from compliance with the provisions of Directive 2010/75/EU concerning the emissions from the individual combustion plants covered by the plan, and with other relevant bodies of the European Union environmental law.

Article 2

The Commission shall assess if any subsequent changes to the transitional national plan notified by the Republic of Slovenia comply with the provisions listed in Article 32(1), (3) and (4) of Directive 2010/75/EU and in Implementing Decision 2012/115/EU.

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Council Decision 2009/470/EC of 25 May 2009 on expenditure in the veterinary field (1), and in particular Article 31(2) thereof,

Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 882/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 on official controls performed to ensure the verification of compliance with feed and food law, animal health and animal welfare rules (2), and in particular Article 32(7) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

In accordance with Article 84 of Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 966/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council (3) (‘the Financial Regulation’) and Article 94 of the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 1268/2012 (4) (hereinafter referred to as ‘the Rules of Application’), the commitment of expenditure from the Union budget shall be preceded by a financing decision setting out the essential elements of the action involving expenditure from the budget and adopted by the institution or the authorities to which powers have been delegated by the Institution.

(2)

The Commission services have assessed and approved the work programmes and corresponding budget estimates submitted in 2013 by the EU reference laboratories for the year 2014.

(3)

Accordingly, a Union financial aid should be granted to the EU reference laboratories designated in order to co-finance their activities which consist of carrying out the functions and duties provided for in Article 32 of Regulation (EC) No 882/2004. The Union’s financial aid should be at the rate of 100 % of eligible costs within the limit of the amount of the EU financial aid granted in the present Decision.

(4)

Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 135/2013 (5) lays down eligibility rules for the workshops organised by the EU reference laboratories. It also limits the financial aid to a maximum of 32 participants, 3 invited speakers and 10 representatives of third countries in workshops. Derogations to that limitation should be provided for some European Union reference laboratories that need support for attendance by more than 32 participants in order to achieve the best outcome of their workshops. Derogations can be obtained in particular in case an EU reference laboratory takes the leadership and responsibility when organising a workshop with another European Union reference laboratory.

(5)

For the six EU reference laboratories designated within the Joint Research Centre, the relationship is laid down in an annual administrative arrangement supported by a work programme and its budget as the Joint Research Centre and the Directorate-General for Health and Consumers are both services of the Commission.

DECISION OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK

of 29 August 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/2013/26)

(2014/28/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, and in particular Article 30 thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

Decision ECB/2013/28 of 29 August 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 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 European System of Central Banks and of the European Central Bank, (hereinafter the ‘Statute of the ESCB’) and establishes, with effect from 1 January 2014, the new weightings assigned to each national central bank (NCB) in the adjusted 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 January 2014 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)

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.

(4)

The respective capital key weightings of each euro area NCB until 31 December 2013 and with effect from 1 January 2014 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.

(5)

Accordingly, the adoption of a new ECB decision is required that repeals Decision ECB/2013/15 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 (2), without prejudice to the implementation of all requirements under Article 4 of Decision ECB/2013/15.

(6)

Pursuant to Article 1 of Council Decision 2013/387/EU of 9 July 2013 on the adoption by Latvia of the euro on 1 January 2014 (3), in accordance with Article 140(2) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, Latvia fulfils the necessary conditions for adoption of the euro and the derogation granted to it under Article 4 of the 2003 Act of Accession (4) will be abrogated with effect from 1 January 2014,

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 31 December 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 the second business day following the Governing Council’s approval of the ECB’s financial accounts for the financial year 2013.

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 January 2014, 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 January 2014, 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 or before the day the Governing Council approves the ECB’s financial accounts for the financial year 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 31 December 2013 and its capital key weighting with effect from 1 January 2014 and dividing the result by 100.

4.   Each amount described in paragraph 3 shall be due in euro on 1 January 2014 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 January 2014 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.   Given that the adjustment of the claims equivalent to the transferred foreign reserve assets for Latvijas Banka will be regulated by a separate decision of the Governing Council on the paying-up of capital, transfer of foreign reserve assets and contributions by Latvijas Banka to the European Central Bank’s reserves and provisions, this Article shall regulate the adjustment of the claims equivalent to the foreign reserve assets transferred by the other euro area NCBs.

2.   The euro area NCBs’ claims shall be adjusted with effect from 1 January 2014 in accordance with their adjusted capital key weightings. The value of the euro area NCBs’ claims with effect from 1 January 2014 is shown in the third column of the table in the Annex to this Decision.

3.   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 January 2014 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.

4.   On the first operating day of the Trans-European Automated Real-time Gross settlement Express Transfer system (TARGET2) following 1 January 2014, 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.

5.   On the first TARGET2 operating day following 1 January 2014, a euro area NCB or the ECB having to transfer an amount under paragraph 4 shall also separately transfer any interest accruing over the period from 1 January 2014 until the date of this transfer on the respective amount due from such euro area NCB or 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.

Article 4

DECISION OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK

of 29 August 2013

amending Decision ECB/2010/29 on the issue of euro banknotes

(ECB/2013/27)

(2014/29/EU)

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(1) thereof,

Having regard to the Statute of the European System of Central Banks and of the European Central Bank, and in particular Article 16 thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

Decision ECB/2013/28 of 29 August 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 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 European System of Central Banks and of the European Central Bank and establishes, with effect from 1 January 2014, new weightings assigned to each national central bank (NCB) in the adjusted capital key (hereinafter the ‘capital key weightings’).

(2)

Pursuant to Article 1 of Council Decision 2013/387/EU of 9 July 2013 on the adoption by Latvia of the euro on 1 January 2014 (2), in accordance with Article 140(2) of the Treaty, Latvia fulfils the necessary conditions for adoption of the euro and the derogation granted to it under Article 4 of the 2003 Act of Accession (3) will be abrogated with effect from 1 January 2014.

(3)

Article 1(d) of Decision ECB/2010/29 of 13 December 2010 on the issue of euro banknotes (4) defines the ‘banknote allocation key’ and refers to Annex I to that Decision, which specifies the banknote allocation key applying since 1 July 2013. Given that new capital key weightings will apply from 1 January 2014 and that Latvia will adopt the euro on 1 January 2014, Decision ECB/2010/29 needs to be amended in order to determine the banknote allocation key applying from 1 January 2014,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

Amendment

1.   The final sentence of Article 1(d) of Decision ECB/2010/29 is replaced by the following:

‘Annex I to this Decision specifies the banknote allocation key applying from 1 January 2014.’

2.   Annex I to Decision ECB/2010/29 is replaced by the text set out in the Annex to this Decision.

Article 2

Entry into force

This Decision shall enter into force on 1 January 2014.

DECISION OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK

of 29 August 2013

on the national central banks’ percentage shares in the key for subscription to the European Central Bank’s capital

(ECB/2013/28)

(2014/30/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 and in particular Article 29.3 and 29.4 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 European System of Central Banks and of the European Central Bank,

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) laid down with effect from 1 July 2013 the weightings assigned to those national central banks (NCBs) that were members of the European System of Central Banks (ESCB) on 1 July 2013 in the key for subscription to the ECB’s capital (hereinafter the ‘capital key weightings’ and the ‘capital key’ respectively).

(2)

Article 29.3 of the Statute of the European System of Central Banks and of the European Central Bank (hereinafter referred to as the ‘Statute of the ESCB’) requires the capital key weightings to be adjusted every five years after the establishment of the ESCB by analogy with the provisions laid down in Article 29.1 of the Statute. The adjusted capital key applies with effect from the first day of the year following the year in which the adjustment occurs.

(3)

The last adjustment of the capital key weightings in accordance with Article 29.3 of the Statute of the ESCB was made in 2008 with effect from 1 January 2009 (2). The subsequent expansion of the ECB’s capital key was made in accordance with Article 48.3 of the Statute of the ESCB in view of the accession of a new Member State to the European Union (3).

(4)

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 (4), the European Commission provided the ECB with the statistical data to be used in determining the adjusted capital key,

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

Capital key weightings

The weighting assigned to each NCB in the capital key described in Article 29 of the Statute of the ESCB shall be as follows with effect from 1 January 2014:

DECISION OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK

of 29 August 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/2013/29)

(2014/31/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, and in particular Article 28.5 thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

Decision ECB/2013/28 of 29 August 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). 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 European System of Central Banks (ESCB) on 31 December 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/2013/18 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 (2) with effect from 1 January 2014.

(2)

Decision ECB/2013/30 of 29 August 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 NCBs 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 adjusted capital key. Decision ECB/2013/31 of 30 August 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 NCBs 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 January 2014 in view of the adjusted capital key.

(3)

The euro area NCBs, with the exception of Latvijas Banka, have already paid up their shares in the ECB’s subscribed capital as required under 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 (5). In view of this, Article 2(1) of Decision ECB/2013/30 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/2013/30.

(4)

Furthermore, a separate decision of the Governing Council on the paying-up of capital, transfer of foreign reserve assets and contributions by Latvijas Banka to the European Central Bank’s reserves and provisions will lay down that Latvijas Banka, which will be a euro-area NCB from 1 January 2014, is under an obligation to pay up the remaining share of its subscription to the ECB’s capital in order to arrive at the amount shown next to its name in the table in Article 1 of Decision ECB/2013/30, taking into account the adjusted capital key.

(5)

Likewise, the non-euro area NCBs have already paid up a percentage of their shares in the ECB’s subscribed capital as required under 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 (6). In view of this, Article 2(1) of Decision ECB/2013/31 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/2013/31,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

Transfer of capital shares

Given the share in the ECB’s capital that each NCB will have subscribed on 31 December 2013, and the share in the ECB’s capital that each NCB will subscribe with effect from 1 January 2014 as a consequence of the adjustment of the capital key weightings laid down in Article 2 of Decision ECB/2013/28, 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 January 2014 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 January 2014 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

1.   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 January 2014 pursuant to Article 1 of Decision ECB/2013/30 for the euro area NCBs and Article 1 of Decision ECB/2013/31 for the non-euro area NCBs respectively, on the first operating day of the Trans-European Automated Real-time Gross settlement Express Transfer system (TARGET2) following 1 January 2014 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.

2.   On the first TARGET2 operating day following 1 January 2014, the ECB and the NCBs that are under an obligation to transfer an amount under paragraph 1 shall each separately transfer any interest on the respective amounts due accruing over the period from 1 January 2014 until the date of the transfer. The transferors and recipients of this interest shall be the same as the transferors and recipients of the amounts on which the interest accrues.

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.   Any interest accruing under Article 2(2) 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.

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 January 2014.

2.   Decision ECB/2013/18 is repealed with effect from 1 January 2014.

3.   References to Decision ECB/2013/18 shall be construed as being made to this Decision.

DECISION OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK

of 31 December 2013

on the paying-up of capital, transfer of foreign reserve assets and contributions by Latvijas Banka to the European Central Bank’s reserves and provisions

(ECB/2013/53)

(2014/34/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, and in particular Articles 30.1, 30.3, 48.1 and 48.2 thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

Pursuant to Article 1 of Council Decision 2013/387/EU of 9 July 2013 on the adoption by Latvia of the euro on 1 January 2014 (1), in accordance with Article 140(2) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, Latvia fulfils the necessary conditions for adoption of the euro and the derogation granted to it under Article 4 of the 2003 Act of Accession (2) will be abrogated with effect from 1 January 2014.

(2)

Article 48.1 of the Statute of the European System of Central Banks and of the European Central Bank (hereinafter the ‘Statute of the ESCB’) provides that the national central bank (NCB) of a Member State whose derogation has been abrogated must pay up its subscribed share of the capital of the European Central Bank (ECB) to the same extent as the NCBs of the other Member States whose currency is the euro. The weighting of Latvijas Banka in the ECB’s capital key is 0,2821 %, pursuant to Article 2 of Decision ECB/2013/28 of 29 August 2013 on the national central banks’ percentage shares in the key for subscription to the European Central Bank’s capital (3). Latvijas Banka has already paid up part of its share in the ECB’s subscribed capital, pursuant to Article 1 of 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). The outstanding amount is therefore EUR 29 424 263,59, which results from multiplying the ECB’s subscribed capital (EUR 10 825 007 069,61) by the capital key weighting of Latvijas Banka (0,2821 %), minus the part of its share in the ECB’s subscribed capital that has already been paid up.

(3)

Article 48.1, in conjunction with Article 30.1, of the Statute of the ESCB provides that the NCB of a Member State whose derogation has been abrogated must also transfer foreign reserve assets to the ECB. Pursuant to Article 48.1 of the Statute of the ESCB, the sum to be transferred is determined by multiplying the euro value at current exchange rates of the foreign reserve assets which have already been transferred to the ECB in accordance with Article 30.1 of the Statute of the ESCB, by the ratio between the number of shares subscribed by the NCB concerned and the number of shares already paid up by the NCBs of the other Member States whose currency is the euro. When determining the ‘foreign reserve assets which have already been transferred to the ECB in accordance with Article 30.1’, due account should be taken of previous capital key adjustments (5) pursuant to Article 29.3 of the Statute of the ESCB and the ECB capital key expansions pursuant to Article 48.3 of the Statute of the ESCB (6). As a result, pursuant to Decision ECB/2013/26 of 29 August 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 (7), the euro equivalent of the foreign reserve assets which have already been transferred to the ECB under Article 30.1 of the Statute of the ESCB is EUR 50 715 061 570,77.

(4)

The foreign reserve assets to be transferred by Latvijas Banka should be in or be denominated in Japanese Yen and gold.

(5)

Article 30.3 of the Statute of the ESCB provides that the ECB must credit each NCB of a Member State whose currency is the euro with a claim equivalent to the foreign reserve assets that it has transferred to the ECB. The provisions regarding the denomination and remuneration of the claims that have already been credited to the NCBs of the Member States whose currency is the euro (8) should also apply to the denomination and remuneration of the claims of Latvijas Banka.

(6)

Article 48.2 of the Statute of the ESCB provides that the NCB of a Member State whose derogation has been abrogated must contribute to the ECB’s reserves, to those provisions equivalent to reserves, and to the amount still to be appropriated to the reserves and provisions corresponding to the balance of the profit and loss account as at 31 December of the year prior to the abrogation of the derogation. The amount of this contribution is determined in accordance with Article 48.2 of the Statute of the ESCB.

(7)

By analogy with Article 3.5 of the Rules of Procedure of the European Central Bank (9), the Governor of Latvijas Banka has had the opportunity to make observations on this Decision before its adoption,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

Definitions

For the purposes of this Decision:

(a)

‘foreign reserve assets’ means gold or cash;

(b)

‘gold’ means fine troy ounces of gold in the form of London Good Delivery bars, as specified by the London Bullion Market Association;

(c)

‘cash’ means the lawful currency of Japan (Japanese yen).

Article 2

Extent and form of paid-up capital

1.   With effect from 1 January 2014, Latvijas Banka shall pay up the remaining parts of its share in the ECB’s subscribed capital, which correspond to EUR 29 424 263,59.

2.   Latvijas Banka shall pay the amount specified in paragraph 1 to the ECB on 2 January 2014 by means of a separate transfer via the Trans-European Automated Real-time Gross settlement Express Transfer system (TARGET2).

3.   Latvijas Banka shall pay to the ECB on 2 January 2014, by a separate TARGET2 transfer, the interest accrued on 1 January 2014 on the amount due to the ECB under paragraph 2. This interest shall be calculated on a daily basis, using the actual over-360-day method of calculation, at a rate equal to the marginal interest rate used by the Eurosystem in its most recent main refinancing operation.

Article 3

Transfer of foreign reserve assets

1.   Latvijas Banka shall transfer to the ECB, with effect from 1 January 2014 and in accordance with this Article and the arrangements taken pursuant to it, an amount of foreign reserve assets denominated in Japanese yen and gold that is equivalent to EUR 205 272 581,13 as follows:

Euro-equivalent amount of Japanese yen in cash

Euro-equivalent amount of gold

Aggregate euro-equivalent amount

174 481 693,96

30 790 887,17

205 272 581,13

2.   The euro-equivalent amount of foreign reserve assets to be transferred by Latvijas Banka under paragraph 1 shall be calculated on the basis of the exchange rates between the euro and the Japanese yen established as a result of the 24-hour written consultation procedure on 31 December 2013 between the Eurosystem and Latvijas Banka and, in the case of gold, on the basis of the US dollar price of gold per fine troy ounce established in the London gold fixing at 10.30 a.m., London time, on 31 December 2013.

3.   The ECB shall confirm to Latvijas Banka as soon as possible the amount calculated in accordance with paragraph 2.

4.   Latvijas Banka shall transfer to the ECB Japanese yen in cash.

5.   The transfer of cash shall take place to such accounts as are specified by the ECB. The settlement date for the cash to be transferred to the ECB shall be 6 January 2014. Latvijas Banka shall give instructions to execute such transfer to the ECB.

6.   The value of the gold which Latvijas Banka transfers to the ECB in accordance with paragraph 1 shall be as close as possible to, but no more than, EUR 30 790 887,17.

7.   Latvijas Banka shall transfer the gold referred to in paragraph 1 in uninvested form to such accounts and such locations as are specified by the ECB. The settlement date for the gold to be transferred to the ECB shall be 3 January 2014. Latvijas Banka shall give instructions to execute such transfer to the ECB.

8.   If Latvijas Banka transfers gold to the ECB with a value of less than the amount specified in paragraph 1, then on 6 January 2014 it shall transfer an amount of Japanese yen cash equivalent to the shortfall to an account of the ECB as specified by the ECB. Any such Japanese yen cash shall not form part of the foreign reserve assets denominated in Japanese yen, which Latvijas Banka transfers to the ECB in accordance with the left column of the table included in paragraph 1.

9.   The difference, if any, between the aggregate euro-equivalent amount mentioned in paragraph 1 and the amount mentioned in Article 4(1) shall be settled in accordance with the Agreement of 31 December 2013 between Latvijas Banka and the European Central Bank regarding the claim credited to Latvijas Banka by the European Central Bank under Article 30.3 of the Statute of the European System of Central Banks and of the European Central Bank (10).

Article 4

Denomination, remuneration and maturity of the claim equivalent to the contribution

1.   With effect from 1 January 2014, and subject to the specifications in Article 3 regarding the settlement dates of the transfers of foreign reserve assets, the ECB shall credit Latvijas Banka with a claim denominated in euro, equivalent to the aggregate euro amount of its contribution of foreign reserve assets. This claim corresponds to EUR 163 479 892,24.

2.   The claim credited by the ECB to Latvijas Banka shall be remunerated from the settlement date. The interest accruing shall be calculated on a daily basis, using the actual over-360-day method of calculation, at a rate equivalent to 85 % of the marginal interest rate used by the Eurosystem in its most recent main refinancing operation.

3.   The accrued interest calculated in accordance with paragraph 2 shall be paid to Latvijas Banka at the end of each financial year. Each quarter the ECB shall inform Latvijas Banka of the cumulative amount.

4.   The claim shall not be redeemable.

Article 5
