OPINION OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK

of 4 March 2011

on a proposal for a Council regulation on denominations and technical specifications of euro coins intended for circulation (codification)

(CON/2011/18)

2011/C 114/01

Introduction and legal basis

On 26 January 2011, the European Central Bank (ECB) received a request from the Council of the European Union for an opinion on a proposal for a Council regulation on denominations and technical specifications of euro coins intended for circulation (codification) (1) (hereinafter the ‘proposed regulation’).

The ECB’s competence to deliver an opinion is based on the first indent of Article 127(4) and Article 128(2) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, as the proposed regulation relates to the denominations and technical specifications of euro coins. In accordance with the first sentence of Article 17.5 of the Rules of Procedure of the European Central Bank, the Governing Council has adopted this opinion.

General observations

The proposed regulation is a codification of Council Regulation (EC) No 975/98 of 3 May 1998 on denominations and technical specifications of euro coins intended for circulation (2). No change in substance has been made to the existing rules on the denominations and technical specifications of euro coins.

While the ECB generally welcomes the codification exercise, it notes that the codification approach does not allow for any subtstantial change to be made to Regulation (EC) No 975/98. The ECB is however of the opinion that a modification should be made to the technical specifications set out in Annex I to the proposed regulation, as explained in the Annex.

Where the ECB recommends that the proposed regulation is amended, a specific drafting proposal is set out in the Annex accompanied by explanatory text to this effect.

Done at Frankfurt am Main, 4 March 2011.

The President of the ECB

Jean-Claude TRICHET

Explanation

Explanation

While indicative values relating to the thickness of coins may have been the only values that could be laid down in 1998 when the technical specifications of euro coins intended for circulation were adopted for the first time, the ECB recommends that these indicative values are now replaced by the real thickness values of euro coins, which are well known and used as reference value by the mints to produce the coins.

Explanation

Explanation

Annex I to the proposed regulation reproduces the table contained in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 975/98. In this table, the thickness of the coins is indicated in the third column, with a footnote mentioning that the values relating to thickness are of an indicative nature. While these indicative values may have been the only values that could be laid down in 1998 when the technical specifications of euro coins intended for circulation were adopted for the first time, the ECB recommends that these indicative values are now replaced by the real thickness values of euro coins, which are well known and used as reference value by the mints to produce the coins.

Communication from the Commission on the quantity of certain products in the milk and milk products sector available for the second half of 2011 under certain quotas opened by the Union

2011/C 114/04

When import licences were allocated for the first half of 2011 for certain quotas mentioned in Commission Regulation (EC) No 2535/2001 (1), the licence applications covered quantities less than those available for the products concerned. Consequently, the quantity available for each of the quotas concerned for the period from 1 July to 31 December 2011 should be calculated taking account of the unallocated quantities resulting from import licence applications lodged between 20 and 30 November 2010 for butter originating in New Zealand under quotas 09.4195 and 09.4182 and for milk products originating in the Republic of Moldova under quota 09.4210.

The quantities available for the period from 1 July to 31 December 2011 for the second half of the year of importation for certain quotas mentioned in Commission Regulation (EC) No 2535/2001 are set out below.
