DECISIONE (UE) 2016/821 DELLA BANCA CENTRALE EUROPEA

del 26 aprile 2016

che modifica la Decisione BCE/2007/7 relativa ai termini e alle condizioni di TARGET2-BCE (BCE/2016/9)

IL COMITATO ESECUTIVO DELLA BANCA CENTRALE EUROPEA

visto il Trattato sul funzionamento dell'Unione europea, in particolare il primo e quarto trattino dell'articolo 127, paragrafo 2,

visto lo Statuto del Sistema europeo di banche centrali e della Banca centrale europea, in particolare l'articolo 3.1 e gli articoli 17, 18 e 22,

considerando quanto segue:

(1)

L'Indirizzo (UE) 2016/579 della Banca centrale europea (BCE/2016/6) (1), ha modificato l'Indirizzo BCE/2012/27 (2) al fine di chiarire le modalità con le quali le banche centrali nazionali (BCN) forniscono servizi di auto-collateralizzazione e di regolamento in moneta di banca centrale. Tali chiarimenti conseguono alle modifiche introdotte dall'Indirizzo (UE) 2015/930 della Banca centrale europea (BCE/2015/15) (3) che ha modificato l'Indirizzo BCE/2012/27 introducendo conti in contanti dedicati e servizi di autocollateralizzazione in relazione al funzionamento di TARGET2-Securities (T2S).

(2)

L'indirizzo (UE) 2015/579 (BCE/2016/6) ha anche modificato l'Indirizzo BCE/2012/27 sotto diversi profili, quali il trattamento dei partecipanti a TARGET2 sottoposti a risoluzione dal punto di vista della loro partecipazione a TARGET2.

(3)

Per rispecchiare le suddette modifiche all'Indirizzo BCE/2012/27, la Decisione BCE/2007/7 (4), relativa ai termini e alle condizioni di TARGET2-BCE dovrebbe essere modificata di conseguenza,

HA ADOTTATO LA PRESENTE DECISIONE:
