EUROOPA KESKPANGA OTSUS,

19. märts 2009,

TARGET2-Securities ►C1 programmi juhatuse ◄ (TARGET2-Securities Programme Board) asutamise kohta

(EKP/2009/6)

(2009/338/EÜ)

EUROOPA KESKPANGA NÕUKOGU, võttes arvesse Euroopa Keskpankade Süsteemi ja Euroopa Keskpanga põhikirja (edaspidi „EKPSi põhikiri”), eelkõige selle artikleid 3.1, 12.1 ja 12.3 ning artikleid 17, 18 ja 22, ning arvestades järgmist: (1) Euroopa Keskpanga (EKP) nõukogu otsustas oma 6. juuli 2006 koosolekul uurida koostöös väärtpaberite keskdepositooriumide (CSD) ja teiste turuosalistega võimalust luua eurosüsteemi uus väärtpaberite arveldussüsteemi teenus nimega TARGET2-Securities (T2S). Täites EKPSi põhikirja artiklitest 17, 18 ja 22 tulenevaid eurosüsteemi ülesandeid, oleks T2S eurosüsteemi kava kohaselt ühisplatvormil põhinev põhiliste, neutraalsete ja piiriüleste üleeuroopaliste raha ja väärtpaberite arvelduste teenus, mida pakutakse CSDdele, et nad saaksid osutada oma klientidele integreeritud tehnilises keskkonnas ühtlustatud ja standardiseeritud „ülekanne makse vastu”-arveldusteenuseid keskpangarahas. (2) 17. juulil 2008 otsustas nõukogu käivitada T2Si loomise ja eraldada vahendid, mis on vajalikud selle lõpuleviimiseks. Samuti otsustas nõukogu pakkumuse alusel, mille tegid Deutsche Bundesbank, Banco de España, Banque de France ja Banca d’Italia, et T2Si töötavad välja ja käitavad need neli riigi keskpanka (RKPd). (3) Nii sisemisi kui ka väliseid osapooli hõlmava T2Si tulemuslikuks ja tõhusaks korraldamiseks on vaja asutada tasakaalustatud juhtimise organ (edaspidi T2Si ►C1 programmi juhatus ◄ ), mis töötaks välja ettepanekuid nõukogule tähtsaimates strateegilistes küsimustes ja täidaks üksnes tehnilise iseloomuga ülesandeid. (4) Vastavalt EKPSi põhikirja artiklis 12.1 sätestatud detsentraliseerimise põhimõttele teevad RKPd võimalikuks ja kohaseks peetaval määral tehinguid, mis moodustavad osa eurosüsteemi ülesannetest. ►C1 Eurosüsteemi keskpangad delegeerivad seega T2Si programmi juhatusele teatavad rakendusülesanded, et see saaks olla täielikult toimiv ja tegutseda kogu eurosüsteemi nimel. ◄ Makse- ja arveldussüsteemide komitee (PSSC) säilitab EKP otsuseid tegevaid organeid nõustava rolli, ning arvestades järgmist: ON VASTU VÕTNUD KÄESOLEVA OTSUSE:

MANDATE OF THE T2S PROGRAMME BOARD

In line with the Treaty and the Statute of the European System of Central Banks and of the European Central Bank, the Eurosystem aims to offer its T2S Services to CSDs in Europe no later than 2013. The T2S services will allow for the core, neutral and borderless, i.e. pan-European, settlement of securities transactions on a delivery-versus-payment (DVP) basis in central bank money, on a single technical platform integrated with the real-time gross settlement systems settling in central bank money of each participating currency.

In view of the provision of the T2S Services, the ECB Governing Council, as ultimate decision-making body of the Eurosystem, established the T2S Programme Board to assist the ECB decision-making bodies in ensuring the successful and timely completion of the T2S programme.

The T2S Programme Board is also based on a T2S Protocol signed by the Eurosystem central banks. Without prejudice to the ultimate decision-making powers of the ECB decision-making bodies, the T2S Programme Board is entrusted with the autonomous performance of clearly defined executive tasks related to the T2S programme. The T2S Programme Board will report directly to the Governing Council regularly. The advisory functions of ESCB committees, in particular the PSSC, LEGCO and the EISC, are not affected by the establishment of the T2S Programme Board. The T2S Programme Board may seek and receive guidance from the Governing Council on T2S related issues in case of uncertainty or doubt.

If and when new issues related to T2S arise, the T2S Programme Board may be assigned further clearly defined executive tasks. In light of the Governing Council’s final competence in T2S issues, any tasks performed by the T2S Programme Board may be addressed by the Governing Council.

OBJECTIVES

Based on this mandate, the T2S Programme Board ensures that the T2S programme is implemented:

— in accordance with market expectations, as reflected in the user requirement document (URD) dated 21 May 2008, as amended from time to time,

— within the budget defined by the Governing Council,

— no later than June 2013.

RESPONSIBILITIES

In view of meeting its objectives, the T2S Programme Board is responsible for:

— submitting proposals to the ECB decision-making bodies on T2S issues that are of a strategic nature and might have an impact on the timely and successful implementation of the T2S programme within the agreed parameters,

— managing the T2S programme on a daily basis,

— managing the relations with T2S clients and external stakeholders,

— reporting on the T2S programme to the ECB decision-making bodies on a regular and structured basis,

— interacting with the 4CB.

TASKS

In view of fulfilling its responsibilities, the following executive tasks are assigned to the T2S Programme Board:

The chairperson of the T2S Programme Board chairs the T2S Advisory Group or its successor body, — negotiates with CSDs (jointly with the Eurosystem central banks) and NCBs, including contracts for development and operational phases (to be endorsed by the Governing Council), — performs, with the help of the central bank expert network, a central role in the communication on T2S vis-à-vis market participants and public authorities, — conducts all T2S related harmonisation work, — closely cooperates with all relevant public authorities or private bodies (e.g. the EU Commission and the European Parliament, securities regulators), on relevant initiatives in the field of securities clearing and settlement, — ensures transparency through the timely and consistent publication of relevant documentation.

4. Reporting The T2S Programme Board: — prepares quarterly reports to the Governing Council. In the spirit of full transparency, these reports are sent to the PSSC and to the EISC for comments before they are submitted to the Executive Board and the Governing Council, — shares the agendas, the summaries and the relevant documentation of its meetings with the members of the PSSC to allow such members to provide input to the T2S Programme Board in exceptional cases, — may consult any ESCB committees in case of need.
