Commission Opinion on a recommendation of the European Central Bank for a Council Regulation concerning the application of minimum reserve obligations by the European Central Bank

COMMISSION OPINION

on a recommendation of the European Central Bank for a Council Regulation
concerning the application of minimum reserve obligations
by the European Central Bank

COMMISSION OPINION

on a recommendation of the European Central Bank for a Council Regulation
concerning the application of minimum reserve obligations
by the European Central Bank

In a letter dated 6 April 2001, the Council requested the opinion of the Commission on a
recommendation of the European Central Bank (ECB) for a Council Regulation concerning
the application of minimum reserve requirements by the ECB. The competence of the
Commission to deliver an opinion on this recommendation stems from Article 107(6) of the
Treaty in connection with Article 28.1 of the Statute of the European System of Central Banks
and the European Central Bank.

On 24.10.2001, the Commission adopted the following opinion:

1.

2.

3.

The Commission agrees to extend the time period to two months as per the request.
The undertaking concerned may thus request a judicial review of the decision of the
Executive Board in accordance with the Treaty. This means that the reference to
article 3(7) of Regulation (EC) No 2532/98 in article 7(2) of Council Regulation
(EC) No 2531/98 shall be deleted.

The proposed amendment should not interfere with the effectiveness of sanctions
imposed for non-compliance with the obligation to hold the required level of
minimum reserves.

The Commission notes that, while the explanatory memorandum describes the
present delay of 15 days for the Executive Board to carry out a review as too short in
general,
in
the
particular,
Commission invites the ECB to provide to Parliament and the Commission an
empirical review of the frequency of non-compliance with the minimum reserve
requirement including further examples when non-compliance was observed.

the accompanying letter of the Vice-President of the ECB refers,
to occasional Christmas holiday period difficulties. Therefore,

WRITTEN QUESTION E-2914/01

by Brian Simpson (PSE) to the Commission

(17 October 2001)

Subject: Increase in airline insurance premiums following the terrorist attacks

Is the Commission aware that, following the recent terrorist attacks, insurance companies have significantly
increased the premiums payable by airlines and that there is a suspicion that they have acted in a way that
contravenes EU competition laws?

Can the Commission indicate whether or not it is investigating the actions of insurance companies in this
regard and the action which it is prepared to take?

Answer given by Mr Monti on behalf of the Commission

(14 November 2001)

The Commission is aware of the developments the Honourable Member refers to.

The Commission has launched own-initiative proceedings to verify the compatibility with the competition
rules of the conditions under which the increases in premiums were decided.

In due time, the Commission will decide whether further action is appropriate.

(2002/C 147 E/063)

WRITTEN QUESTION E-2925/01

by Jens-Peter Bonde (EDD) to the Commission

(24 October 2001)

Subject: Border checks and terrorism

Will the Commission allow countries to re-introduce border checks if they see the need to do so in order
to catch terrorists?

Answer given by Mr Vitorino on behalf of the Commission

(3 December 2001)

Article 2(2) of the Convention Implementing the Schengen Agreement provides that where public policy or
national security so require, border checks on persons may be carried out at internal borders.

Given the present state of the law, it is not for the Commission to authorise or prohibit the reintroduction
of checks at internal borders.
