Euro coins intended for circulation have legal tender status throughout the euro area. For the purpose of informing the public and all parties who handle the coins, the Commission publishes a description of the designs of all new coins (1). In accordance with the Council conclusions of 10 February 2009 (2), the Member States of the euro area and countries that have concluded a monetary agreement with the Community providing for the issuing of euro coins are allowed to issue commemorative euro coins intended for circulation, provided that certain conditions are met, particularly that only the 2-euro denomination is used. These coins have the same technical characteristics as other 2-euro coins, but their national side features a commemorative design that is highly symbolic in national or European terms.
Issuing country: Spain
Subject of commemoration: The historical centre of Córdoba, UNESCO world heritage site
Description of the design: The inner part of the coin depicts the interior of the Mosque-Cathedral of Córdoba. On the left, the Mint mark. Below, the name of the issuing country followed by the year of issue ‘ESPAÑA 2010’.
The coin's outer ring contains the 12 stars of the European flag.
Number of coins to be issued: 8 million
Date of issue: First quarter of 2010


(1)  See OJ C 373, 28.12.2001, p. 1, for the national sides of all the coins issued in 2002.

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,


Having regard to Directive 2002/95/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 January 2003 on the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment (1), and in particular Article 5(1)(b) thereof,

Whereas:







(1)


Directive 2002/95/EC requires the Commission to make whatever amendments which are necessary to adapt to scientific and technical progress the list of applications exempted from the requirements of Article 4(1) of that Directive.












(2)


It is not yet technically practicable to substitute cadmium in colour-converting II-VI LEDs without seriously deteriorating the performance. Certain materials and components containing cadmium should therefore be exempted from the prohibition. However, research on cadmium-free technology is in progress and substitutes should become available within the next four to five years at the latest.












(3)


Directive 2002/95/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.












(4)


Pursuant to Article 5(2) of Directive 2002/95/EC, the Commission has consulted the relevant parties.












(5)


The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established by Article 18 of Directive 2006/12/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (2),





HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:



Article 1
The Annex to Directive 2002/95/EC is amended as set out in the Annex to this Decision.
