(c) Coating varnishes and lamination, including polyethene and/or polyethene/polypropylene, may be used only for covers of books, magazines and catalogues. (d) The de-inkability shall be proved. Assessment and verification: the applicant shall provide the test result of the recyclability for wet strength agents and removability for adhesives. The reference test methods are PTS method PTS-RH 021/97 (for wet strength agents), INGEDE Method 12 (for non-soluble adhesive removability), or equivalent test methods.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Protocol (No 4) on the Statute of the European System of Central Banks and of the European Central Bank annexed to the Treaty on European Union and the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular to Article 27.1 thereof,

Having regard to Recommendation ECB/2014/20 of the European Central Bank of 17 April 2014 to the Council of the European Union on the external auditors of the Central Bank of Malta (1),

Whereas:

(1) The accounts of the European Central Bank (ECB) and of the national central banks of the Eurosystem are to be audited by independent external auditors recommended by the Governing Council of the ECB and approved by the Council of the European Union.

(2) The mandate of the current external auditors of the Bank Ċentrali ta' Malta/Central Bank of Malta expired after the audit for the financial year 2013. It is therefore necessary to appoint external auditors from the financial year 2014.

(3) The Bank Ċentrali ta' Malta/Central Bank of Malta has selected PricewaterhouseCoopers as its external auditors for the financial years 2014 to 2018.

(4) The Governing Council of the ECB has recommended that PricewaterhouseCoopers be appointed as the external auditors of the Bank Ċentrali ta' Malta/Central Bank of Malta for the financial years 2014 to 2018.

(5) It is appropriate to follow the recommendation of the Governing Council of the ECB and to amend Council Decision 1999/70/EC (2) accordingly,

Having regard to Guideline ECB/2012/27 of 5 December 2012 on a Trans-European Automated Real-time Gross settlement Express Transfer system (TARGET2) (1), and in particular Article 8(2) thereof,

Whereas:

(1) Guideline ECB/2012/27 specified the remuneration on the Payments Module (PM) accounts and their sub-accounts in a way which could have interfered with a Governing Council decision to lower the deposit facility rate to below 0 %.

(2) As a result, Guideline ECB/2012/27 has been amended by Guideline ECB/2014/25 (2) in order to eliminate such potential interferences.

(3) Therefore, it is necessary to further amend Decision ECB/2007/7 (3) in order to reflect in TARGET2-ECB the amendments Guideline ECB/2014/25 brings to the remuneration of the PM accounts and their sub-accounts,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

Amendments to Decision ECB/2007/7

The Annex to Decision ECB/2007/7 is amended as follows:

1. in Article 1, the following definitions are inserted: ‘— “deposit facility” means a Eurosystem standing facility which counterparties may use to make overnight deposits with an NCB at a pre-specified deposit rate, — “deposit facility rate” means the interest rate applicable to the deposit facility,’;

2. in Article 10, paragraph 3 is replaced by the following: ‘3. PM accounts and their sub-accounts shall be remunerated either at 0 % or the deposit facility rate, whichever is lower.’.
