Opinion of the European Central Bank of 21 November 2000 at the request of the German Ministry of Economics and Technology on a draft decree amending the Decree concerning payment statistics data collection in Germany (CON/00/28)

OPINION OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK

of 21 November 2000

at the request of the German Ministry of Economics and Technology on a draft decree

amending the Decree concerning payment statistics data collection in Germany

(CON/00/28)

1.

On  31  October  2000  the  European  Central  Bank  (ECB)  received  a  request  from  the  German

Ministry  of  Economics  and  Technology  for  an  ECB  opinion  on  a  draft  decree  amending  the

Decree concerning payment statistics data collection in Germany (hereinafter referred to as the

"draft Decree").

2.

The ECB’s competence to deliver an opinion is based  on the fourth indent  of  Article 2(1)  of

Council Decision (EC) No 98/415 of 29 June 1998 on the consultation of the European Central

Bank by national authorities regarding draft legislative provisions. In accordance with the first

sentence  of  Article 17.5  of  the  Rules  of  Procedure  of  the  ECB,  this  ECB  opinion  has  been

adopted by the Governing Council of the ECB.

3. 

The  draft  Decree  intends  to  raise  the  threshold  for  exemptions  from  reporting  obligations  for

balance of payments purposes from DEM 5 000 to EUR 12 500 and to repeal the obligation to

report import payments to the Deutsche Bundesbank with the objective of fostering the efficient

operation of payment systems within the euro area and to reduce the statistical reporting burden

of credit institutions and other reporting agents.

4. 

The  ECB  welcomes  the  rise  in  the  threshold  for  exemption  from  the  obligation  to  report  for

balance  of  payments  purposes  from  DM  5  000  to  EUR  12  500  which  is  in  line  with  the

recommendation expressed in the opinion agreed in June 2000 by the Committee for Monetary,

Financial and Balance of Payments Statistics.

5. 

The  ECB  has  no  objection  to  removing  the  obligation  to  report  payments  for  merchandise

imports for balance of payments statistics purposes to the Deutsche Bundesbank as foreseen by

the draft Decree and assumes that the change will not affect the overall quality of the German

contribution to the euro area aggregates. 

6.

The  ECB  confirms  that it  has  no  objections  to  this  ECB  Opinion  being  made  public  by  the

competent national authorities at their discretion.

Done at Frankfurt am Main on 21 November 2000.

The President of the ECB
