ECAI credit assessment of asset-backed securities: For asset-backed securities issued on or after 1 March 2010, the Eurosystem requires at least two credit assessments from any accepted ECAIs for the issue. To determine the eligibility of these asset-backed securities, the “second-best rule” shall be applied, which means that not only the best, but also the second-best available ECAI credit assessment must comply with the credit quality threshold for asset-backed securities. Based on this rule, the Eurosystem requires for both credit assessments an “AAA”/“Aaa” level at issuance and a “single A” level over the life of the security in order for the securities to be eligible. From 1 March 2011 all asset-backed securities, regardless of their date of issuance, shall have at least two credit assessments from any accepted ECAIs for the issue, and the second-best rule shall be met in order for the securities to remain eligible. In case of asset-backed securities issued before 1 March 2010 that have only one credit assessment, a second credit assessment shall be additionally obtained before 1 March 2011. For asset-backed securities issued before 1 March 2009 both credit assessments must comply with the “single A” level over the life of the security. For asset-backed securities issued between 1 March 2009 and 28 February 2010, the first credit assessment must comply with the “AAA”/“Aaa” level at issuance and the “single A” over the life of the security, while the second credit assessment must comply with the “single A” level both at issuance (2) and over the life of the security. The ECB publishes the credit quality threshold for any accepted ECAIs, as established under Section 6.3.1 (3).

Article 5 is replaced by the following: ‘Article 5 Statistics on electronic money The ECB, in cooperation with the NCBs, shall identify and record on a yearly basis the features of electronic money schemes in the EU, the availability of the statistical information concerned and the compilation methods related to it. NCBs shall report statistical information on electronic money issued by all MFIs that have not been granted a derogation under Article 8(1) of Regulation (EC) No 25/2009 (ECB/2008/32), in accordance with the list of items in Table 1 of Part 2 of Annex III to this Guideline. Monthly or quarterly data shall be reported to the ECB at least twice a year by the last working day of April (up to end March data) and October (up to end September data). According to the NCBs’ data availability, more frequent data transmissions may take place at a monthly or quarterly frequency by the last working day of the month following the end of the reference period. In the absence of data, NCBs shall use estimates or provisional data where possible. This reporting shall cover electronic money institutions principally engaged in financial intermediation in the form of issuing electronic money, that thus fulfil the MFI definition, and electronic money institutions not principally engaged in financial intermediation in the form of issuing electronic money, that thus do not fulfil the MFI definition. This reporting shall also include reporting from small MFIs that have been granted a derogation under Article 8(1) of Regulation (EC) No 25/2009 (ECB/2008/32), regardless of whether they are or not credit institutions. NCBs shall report statistical information in accordance with the list of items in Table 2 of Part 2 of Annex III to this Guideline. Data of issuers of electronic money that do not fulfil the MFI definition and which are hence not subject to regular BSI statistical reporting requirements shall be reported, to the extent that NCBs can obtain them from their respective supervisory authorities or other suitable sources. The series shall be reported annually to the ECB, by the last working day of the month following the end of the reference period. In the absence of data, NCBs shall use estimates or provisional data where possible.’;

Guideline (EU) 2015/280 of the European Central Bank (ECB/2014/44) (1) provides the possibility for the national central banks of the Member States whose currency is the euro (hereinafter the ‘NCBs’), which are part of the in-house group within the meaning of Article 6(1) thereof, to establish a separate legal person to jointly fulfil public tasks, in particular the production of euro banknotes. Article 1(2) provides the conditions that such a separate legal person has to meet to qualify as an in-house printing works. One of these conditions is that NCBs exercise joint control over the entity. Currently, the possibility for joint control to be exercised through another jointly controlled legal person, if applicable jointly with one or more NCBs, is not explicitly provided for. However, to allow the NCBs to choose the legal form for the cooperation they consider appropriate and in line with the applicable provisions in national law implementing Article 12 of Directive 2014/24/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council (2), the possibility of such indirect joint control should be included in the legal framework. Hence, in accordance with Article 6(1) of Guideline (EU) 2015/280 (ECB/2014/44) and its recital 7, an NCB that has closed its former in-house printing works and starts using another in-house printing works organised as a separate legal entity by exercising indirect joint control over this entity, is to remain part of the in-house group.
(3)

Article 6 is amended as follows: (a) paragraph 3 is replaced by the following: ‘3. Without prejudice to applicable Union and national legislation on public procurement, an NCB that closes its in-house printing works may decide to become part of the tendering group within the meaning of Article 3 or participate in horizontal cooperation on the basis of a cooperation agreement within the meaning of Article 8. For a transitional period of five years starting from the date the in-house group NCB is notified of the revocation of the accreditation of its in-house printing works, the NCB that closes its printing works can switch between participating in either the in-house group or the tendering group before making a final decision, provided that the respective legal requirements are fulfilled. The second subparagraph shall apply also in the case of an NCB that has already closed its printing works, provided that the NCB was notified of the revocation of the accreditation of its in-house printing works after 1 November 2019. The transitional period shall start retroactively from the date of this notification.’; (b) the following paragraphs 4 and 5 are added: ‘4. Without prejudice to applicable Union and national legislation on public procurement, an NCB from a Member State that will join the euro area in the future may choose between becoming part of the tendering group within the meaning of Article 3 or participating in horizontal cooperation on the basis of a cooperation agreement within the meaning of Article 8, provided that a cooperation agreement within the meaning of Article 8(2)(b) is in place as of the first euro banknote allocation. 5. Without prejudice to the applicable Union and national legislation on public procurement, the Governing Council may, in emergency situations and on a case-by-case basis, decide on deviations from the two-pillar model laid down in Article 6.’.

COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION of 14 July 1976 to the Member States on the use of straw (76/604/EEC)

I

For several weeks now many regions of the Community have been affected by a serious drought which has greatly reduced the production of fodder. As a result, the market is in short supply, fodder prices have risen considerably and certain stock-rearing areas of the Community are having difficulty in obtaining supplies. These difficulties seem likely to increase in the next few months.

II

In cereal-growing areas, straw is normally burnt or ploughed-in after harvest. This straw can, however, be substituted for fodder in animal feed. In view of the shortage described above, it appears desirable to feed straw to animals in order to make good the short-fall in fodder production at least in part. It should, moreover, be noted that the burning of straw could in the prevailing dry conditions cause many outbreaks of fire.

III

The Commission therefore recommends that the Member States take all necessary steps to promote the use of straw as animal feed, in particular by prohibiting the burning or ploughing-in of straw.

(86/458/EEC)

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Noting that Council Directive 86/457/EEC of 15 September 1986 on specific training in general medical practice (1), refers only to diplomas, certificates and other evidence of formal qualifications conferred in a Member State;

Anxious, however, to take account of the special position of nationals of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, who, since there is no specific training in general medical practice in the Grand Duchy itself, have studied in a third State;
