GUIDELINE OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK
of 30 June 2011
amending Guideline ECB/2008/8 on data collection regarding the euro and the operation of the Currency Information System 2
(ECB/2011/9)
(2011/509/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 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,
Whereas:
(1) |
Decision ECB/2010/14 of 16 September 2010 on the authenticity and fitness checking and recirculation of euro banknotes (1) replaced the framework for the detection of counterfeits and fitness sorting by credit institutions and other professional cash handlers (hereinafter the ‘banknote recycling framework’) from 1 January 2011. Decision ECB/2010/14 requires cash handlers to report from 1 January 2012 at the latest statistical data to their national central banks (NCBs). NCBs must provide the European Central Bank (ECB) with such statistical data in an aggregated format as laid down in Guideline ECB/2008/8 of 11 September 2008 on data collection regarding the euro and the operation of the Currency Information System 2 (2). |
(2) |
To ensure that there is no gap in the reporting of statistical data, it is necessary to make provision for the collection of such data by the NCBs during 2011 from the institutions that were subject to the banknote recycling framework until 1 January 2011. |
(3) |
In order to respond to a lack of effective reporting tools in financial crisis situations, daily reporting functionalities have been developed in addition to the monthly and semi-annual reporting functionalities already provided for in Guideline ECB/2008/8. These were endorsed by the Governing Council on 12 May 2010. It is therefore also necessary to amend Guideline ECB/2008/8 to require daily reporting by NCBs of CIS 2 data in certain circumstances. |
(4) |
Some technical terms used in Guideline ECB/2008/8 also need to be replaced. |
(5) |
Therefore, Guideline ECB/2008/8 should be amended, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS GUIDELINE:

ANNEX III
‘ANNEX V
COMPLETENESS CHECKS FOR DATA SENT BY NCBs AND FUTURE EUROSYSTEM NCBs
1. Introduction
Data sent by NCBs and future Eurosystem NCBs are checked for completeness in the CIS 2. Due to the different nature of the data items a distinction is made between, on one hand, category 1 and category 2 data items for which data must be reported for each reporting period and, on the other hand, event-driven data items which only need to be provided if the underlying event occurs during the reporting period.
The CIS 2 checks whether all category 1 and category 2 data items are present in the first data message sent by an NCB for a reporting period, taking into account the system parameters relating to NCB attributes and ECI-NCB relationships described in Section 2 of the table in Annex IV. If at least one category 1 data item is missing or incomplete, the CIS 2 rejects this first data message, and the NCB has to resend the data message. If the category 1 data items are complete but at least one category 2 data item is missing or incomplete in an NCB’s first data message, the CIS 2 accepts the first data message and stores it in the central database, but a warning is shown in the web-based online application for each affected data item. This warning is visible to all ECB, NCB and future Eurosystem NCB users and, in the case of coins, visible to all eligible third party users. Warnings are visible until the NCB concerned sends one or more revised data messages which complete the data missing in the first data message. For event-driven data items the CIS 2 does not run any completeness checks.
In Section 4 a distinction is made between the completeness checks of data on cash infrastructure as specified in Annex IIIa (4(a)) and the completeness checks of data on cash infrastructure as specified in Annex IIIb (4(b)).

ANNEX IV
‘ANNEX VI
CORRECTNESS CHECKS FOR DATA SENT BY NCBs AND FUTURE EUROSYSTEM NCBs
1. Introduction
Data sent by NCBs and future Eurosystem NCBs to the ECB are checked for correctness in the CIS 2, which distinguishes between two types of checks, “must checks” and “should checks”.
A “must check” is a correctness check which must be passed without exceeding the threshold for the tolerance level. If a “must check” is failed, the underlying data are treated as incorrect and the CIS 2 rejects the entire data message sent by the NCB. The threshold is 1 % for correctness checks with an “equal to” operator (1), and zero for the remaining correctness checks.
A “should check” is a correctness check for which a threshold of 3 % for the tolerance level is applied. If this threshold is exceeded, this has no impact on the acceptance of the data message in the CIS 2, but a warning is shown in the web-based online application for this correctness check. This warning is visible to all NCB and future Eurosystem NCB users and, in the case of coins, it is visible to all eligible third party users.
Correctness checks are conducted for banknotes and coins with legal tender status and separately for each combination of series and denomination. For banknotes they are also conducted for each combination of variant and denomination, if such variants exist. Correctness checks for data on banknote transfers (checks 5.1 and 5.2) and for data on coin transfers (check 6.6) are also conducted for pre-legal tender and post-legal tender statuses.
2. Correctness check on the national net issuance of banknotes
If a new series, variant or denomination becomes legal tender, this correctness check is performed from the first reporting period in which the series/variant/denomination is legal tender. The national net issuance for the previous reporting period (t-1) is zero in this case.

3. Correctness check on banknote stocks
The correctness checks on banknote stocks are only applied from the second reporting period that an NCB reports CIS 2 data to the ECB.
If a series, variant or denomination becomes legal tender, these correctness checks are only applied from the second reporting period in which this series, variant or denomination is legal tender.
For NCBs of Member States that have recently adopted the euro (i.e. former future Eurosystem NCBs) the correctness checks on banknote stocks are applied from the second reporting period after adoption of the euro.

(1) The allowed maximum difference between the left side and the right side of an equation must not exceed the absolute value of the equation side with the greater absolute value multiplied by the threshold. The correctness check verifies whether: Absolute value (“left side” – “right side”) is less than or equal to the allowed maximum difference.
Example:
“left side” = 190; “right side” = 200; threshold = 1 %; allowed maximum difference: 200 × 1 % = 2;
The correctness check verifies whether: Absolute value (190 – 200) ≤ 2
In this example: Absolute value (190 – 200) = 10. As a result, the correctness check fails.

Explanation: Data on the NCBs’ LS and the ESS held by them is essential. The distinction between new and fit banknotes is not crucial, but could be of interest in a crisis scenario. Holding new banknotes is preferable because, once issued, they would in principle last longer before being destroyed.
The unfit and unprocessed stocks of banknotes held by NCBs provide an overview of their banknote stocks. A significant percentage of unprocessed banknotes may be issued again after processing and, therefore, this information is of considerable importance for stock management. In a crisis situation, the amount of unfit stocks of banknote might be of interest because some of these banknotes may still be issued in the event of a significant banknote shortage.

Explanation: It is essential to know the national net issue by NCBs and the circulation at Eurosystem level. Since it is not possible to calculate this information from the daily data items, as can be done from the monthly ones, the data item “national net issue of banknotes” has to be calculated and provided by NCBs to the CIS 2.

ANNEX VI
‘ Glossary
This Glossary defines technical terms used in the Annexes to this Guideline.
|
“Banknote series” means a number of denominations of euro banknotes defined as a series in Decision ECB/2003/4 of 20 March 2003 on the denominations, specifications, reproduction, exchange and withdrawal of euro banknotes (1) or in a subsequent ECB legal act. The first series of euro banknotes as launched on 1 January 2002 consists of the denominations EUR 5, EUR 10, EUR 20, EUR 50, EUR 100, EUR 200 and EUR 500. Euro banknotes that have revised technical specifications or a revised design (e.g. a different signature for different presidents of the ECB) only constitute a new banknote series if referred to as such in an amendment to Decision ECB/2003/4 or in a subsequent ECB legal act. |
|
“Banknotes in circulation” means all euro banknotes issued by the Eurosystem and put into circulation by the NCBs at a certain point in time, which for the purposes of this Guideline also includes the banknotes put into circulation by NHTO entities and ECI banks. It is equal to the aggregated national net issuance of euro banknotes. It should be noted that the concept of “banknotes in circulation” is not applied at national level because it cannot be determined whether banknotes put into circulation in one participating Member State are circulating in that Member State or whether they have been returned from circulation to other NCBs, NHTO entities or ECI banks. |
|
“Banknote variant” within a banknote series means a sub-series comprising of one or more euro banknote denominations with upgraded security features and/or a revised design. |
|
“Cash centre” means a centralised secure facility where euro banknotes and/or euro circulation coins are handled after transportation from different sites. |
|
“Circulation coins” means euro coins defined as having legal tender status throughout the euro area in accordance with Council Regulation (EC) No 975/98 of 3 May 1998 on denominations and technical specifications of euro coins intended for circulation (2). The first series of euro coins as launched on 1 January 2002 consists of the denominations EUR 0,01, EUR 0,02, EUR 0,05, EUR 0,10, EUR 0,20, EUR 0,50, EUR 1 and EUR 2. Euro circulation coins include coins with a special finish or quality and/or packaging and commemorative euro circulation coins. The latter usually commemorate an event or a personality and are issued at face value for a limited period and in limited quantities. |
|
“Coin-issuing entities” means any bodies entrusted by the national legal issuer of euro coins with the task of putting euro coins into circulation, or the legal issuer itself. Coin-issuing entities can include the NCB, mints, the treasury, appointed public agencies and appointed private agencies. Those coin-issuing entities with the exception of the NCB are also referred to as “coin-issuing third parties”. |
|
“Coin series” means a number of denominations of euro coins defined as a series in Regulation (EC) No 975/98 or in a subsequent Union legal act. The first series of euro coins as launched on 1 January 2002 consists of the denominations EUR 0,01, EUR 0,02, EUR 0,05, EUR 0,10, EUR 0,20, EUR 0,50, EUR 1 and EUR 2. Euro coins that have revised technical specifications or a revised design (e.g. amendments to the European map on the common side) only constitute a new coin series if referred to as such in an amendment to Regulation (EC) No 975/98 or in a subsequent Union legal act. |
|
“Coins in circulation” means the aggregated national net issuance of euro circulation coins (data item 1.1). It should be noted that the concept of “coins in circulation” is not applied at national level because it cannot be determined whether coins put into circulation in a participating Member State are circulating there and whether they have been returned from circulation to coin-issuing entities in other participating Member States. Euro collector coins are not included as these coins are only legal tender in the Member State of issuance. |
|
“Collector coins” means euro coins that are only legal tender in the participating Member State of issuance and are not intended for circulation. Their face value, images, size and weight are different from those of euro circulation coins so as to be easily distinguished from euro circulation coins. Collector coins also include bullion coins (3). |
|
“Created coins” means euro circulation coins which have been: (i) produced by mints with a particular national side; (ii) delivered to coin-issuing entities in a participating Member State; and (iii) registered in the cash management systems of such coin-issuing entities. This applies mutatis mutandis to euro collector coins. |
|
“Denomination” means the face value of a euro banknote or coin, as laid down for banknotes in Decision ECB/2003/4 or in a subsequent ECB legal act, and for coins in Regulation (EC) No 975/98 or in a subsequent Union legal act. |
|
“Eurosystem Strategic Stock” (ESS) means the stock of new and fit euro banknotes stored by certain NCBs to cope with a demand for euro banknotes which cannot be met from logistical stocks (4). |

“Extended custodial inventory programme” (“ ECI programme ”) means a programme consisting of contractual arrangements between the ECB, an NCB and individual credit institutions (“ECI banks”), whereby the NCB (i) supplies the ECI banks with euro banknotes, which they hold in custody outside Europe for the purpose of putting them into circulation; and (ii) credits the ECI banks for euro banknotes which are deposited by their customers, checked for authenticity and fitness, held in custody and notified to the NCB. The banknotes held in custody by the ECI banks, including those in transit between the NCB and the ECI banks, are fully collateralised until they are put into circulation by the ECI banks or returned to the NCB. Banknotes transferred from the NCB to ECI banks form part of the NCB’s created banknotes (data item 1.1). Banknotes held in custody by ECI banks do not form part of the NCB’s national net issuance of banknotes. |
|
“Fit banknotes” means (i) euro banknotes which have been returned to NCBs and are fit for circulation in accordance with a separate ECB legal act on banknote processing by NCBs; or (ii) euro banknotes which have been returned to credit institutions, including NHTO entities and ECI banks, and which are fit for circulation in accordance with the minimum sorting standards laid down in Decision ECB/2010/14 of 16 September 2010 on the authenticity and fitness checking and recirculation of euro banknotes (5). |

“National gross issuance” in relation to euro coins means euro circulation coins or euro collector coins which have been issued by the legal issuer in the participating Member State (i.e. coins, the face value of which has been credited to the legal issuer), irrespective of whether these coins are held by an NCB, a future Eurosystem NCB, a coin-issuing third party or the public. For circulation coins, national gross issuance = national net issuance of circulation coins (data item 1.1) + credited stocks of circulation coins held by coin-issuing entities (data item 5.1) + transfers of circulation coins since their introduction (cumulative data item 4.1) — receipts of circulation coins since their introduction (cumulative data item 4.2). For collector coins, national gross issuance = national net issuance of collector coins (value) (data item 1.3) + value of credited collector coins held by coin-issuing entities (data item 5.3). |

“National net issuance of banknotes” means the volume of euro banknotes issued and put into circulation by an individual NCB at a specific point in time (e.g. the close of a reporting period), including all euro banknotes put into circulation by all national NHTO entities and all ECI banks managed by that NCB. Banknote transfers to other NCBs or future Eurosystem NCBs are excluded. National net issuance of banknotes can be calculated by using either (i) the stock method, which uses only stock data relating to a specific point in time; or (ii) the flow method, which aggregates flow data from the date of the banknotes’ introduction until a specific point in time (i.e. the close of the reporting period). Stock method: national net issuance = created banknotes (data item 1.1) — created banknote stocks (data items 2.1 to 2.15) — created banknotes destroyed (data items 1.2 and 1.3) Flow method: national net issuance = created banknotes issued by the NCB (including banknotes put into circulation by NHTO entities and ECI banks) since their introduction (cumulative data items 3.1, 3.9 and 3.13) — created banknotes returned to the NCB (including banknotes returned to NHTO entities and ECI banks) since their introduction (cumulative data items 3.4 and 3.10 and 3.14). |

“Notes-held-to-order or similar scheme” or “NHTO scheme”, means a scheme consisting of individual contractual arrangements between an NCB and one or more entities (“NHTO entities”) in the NCB’s participating Member State, whereby the NCB: (i) supplies the NHTO entities with euro banknotes which they hold in custody outside the NCBs’ premises for the purpose of putting them into circulation; and (ii) credits or debits directly the NCB account held by the NHTO entities or by the credit institutions that are customers of the NHTO entities for euro banknotes which are deposited with or withdrawn from the custody premises by NHTO entities or by their customers and notified to the NCB. Banknotes transferred from the NCB to NHTO entities form part of the NCB’s created banknotes (data item 1.1). Banknotes held in custody by NHTO entities do not form part of the NCB’s national net issuance of banknotes. |
