New national side of euro circulation coins

(2006/C 260/06)

National side of the new 2-euro commemorative circulation coin issued by the Vatican City State

Euro circulation coins have legal tender status throughout the euro area. The Commission publishes all
new euro coin designs (1) with a view to informing anyone required to handle coins in the course of their
work and the public at large. In accordance with the Council conclusions of 8 December 2003 (2), Member
States and countries that have concluded a Monetary Agreement with the Community providing for the
issuance of euro circulation coins are allowed to issue certain quantities of commemorative euro circulation
coins on condition that not more than one new coin design is issued per country per year and that only
the 2-euro denomination is used. These coins have the technical features of normal euro circulation coins,
but bear a commemorative design on the obverse national side.

Issuing State: Vatican City State

Subject of commemoration: 5th centenary of the Swiss Pontifical Guard

Factual description of the design: The coin features a Swiss guard taking the solemn oath on the Swiss
Guard flag. The inscription ‘GUARDIA SVIZZERA PONTIFICIA’ surrounds the guard, forming a semi-circle
which is complemented under the flag by the name of the issuing state ‘CITTÁ DEL VATICANO’. The year
1506 appears on the left side, above the signature of the engraver ‘O. ROSSI’ along the pole of the flag.
The year 2006 appears on the upper right side, above the mint mark ‘R’. The twelve stars of the European
flag are depicted on the outer ring.

Issue volume: max 100 000 coins

Approximate issue period: November 2006
Edge lettering: 2 ★, repeated six times, alternately upright and inverted.

(1) See OJ C 373 of 28.12.2001, pp. 1-30 for a reference to all national sides that were issued in 2002.
(2) See conclusions of the General Affairs Council of 8 December 2003 on changes in the design of national sides of
euro coins. See also Commission Recommendation of 29 September 2003 on a common practice for changes to the

(2006/C )

(2006/C 261/65)

On 20 September 2006, in accordance with Article 4 of Annex
I to the Statute of the Court of Justice and Article 12 of the
Rules of Procedure of the Court of First Instance, the Civil
Service Tribunal decided to maintain in force until 30
September 2007 the following conditions for the assignment of
cases to chambers:

— the First Chamber shall hear all cases, with the exception of
recruitment,
termination of service,

those principally concerning questions of
assessment/promotion and final
which shall be heard by the Second Chamber;

— a number of cases shall be assigned to the Third Chamber,
regardless of the subject-matter involved, at regular intervals
to be determined at a plenary meeting of the Tribunal;

— derogations from the above rules on assignment may be
made for reasons of connections between cases and to
ensure a balanced and reasonably varied workload within
the Tribunal.

Commission communication concerning the prolongation of the Framework on State aid to ship-
building

(2006/C 260/03)

(Text with EEA relevance)

The Framework on State aid to shipbuilding (1) (‘the Framework’) will expire on 31 December 2006.

The Framework has been applicable since 1 January 2004, which is a relatively short period of time. Only
a few cases have been assessed under the Framework. In particular, the Framework contains provisions on
innovation aid, which are unique for this industry and with which the Commission has limited experience.

Accordingly, the Commission has decided to continue to apply the Framework until 31 December 2008.
During this period, the Commission expects to be able to assess whether it is appropriate to maintain
sector-specific State aid rules for shipbuilding, in the light of the further experience it has acquired.

Since Council Regulation (EC) No 1177/2002 of 27 June 2002 concerning a temporary defensive
mechanism to shipbuilding (2) expired on 31 March 2005, the references in the Framework to that Regu-
lation are no longer relevant. Accordingly, point 9 and point 12(e) of the Framework will no longer be
applied by the Commission with effect from 1 January 2007.
