EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM 

1. 

CONTEXT OF THE PROPOSAL 

This  proposal  should  extend  the  Pericles  programme  to  the  Member  States  of  the  European 
Union not yet using the euro as their single currency. 

The Pericles programme is an exchange, assistance and training programme for the protection 
of  the  euro  against  counterfeiting.  The  programme  was  established  by  Council  Decision 
2001/923/EC of 17 December 2001 and its effects were extended to the EU Member States 
that  had  not  adopted  the  euro  as  their  currency  by  Council  Decision  2001/924/EC  of  17 
December  2001.  Subsequent  amendments  to  these  basic  acts  by  Council  Decisions 
2006/75/EC, 2006/76/EC, 2006/849/EC and 2006/850/EC have extended the duration of the 
programme until 31 December 2013. 

2. 

LEGAL ELEMENTS OF THE PROPOSAL 

The application of the Pericles programme will be extended to the Member States that have 
not  adopted  the  euro  as  their  single  currency,  through  a  proposal  for  a  parallel  Regulation 
based on Article 352 TFEU. 

The  legal  basis  for  the  Pericles  programme  which  is  Article  133  TFEU  where  the  Treaty 
reflects concerns about the protection of the euro by providing for the measures necessary for 
its use as a single currency is applicable only to Member States which have adopted the euro 
as their single currency.  

3. 

BUDGETARY IMPLICATIONS 

The  legislative  financial  statement  attached  to  this  proposal  for  a  Regulation  sets  out  the 
budgetary  implications  and  the  human  and  administrative  resources  needed.  This  financial 
statement on budgetary implications is identical - except for the legal basis - to the financial 
statement  for  the  proposal  on  a  European  Parliament  and  Council  Regulation  (EU)  No 
…/2012 establishing an exchange, assistance and training programme for the protection of the 
euro against counterfeiting (the 'Pericles 2020' programme).

Proposal for a 

COUNCIL REGULATION 

extending to the non-participating Member States the application of Regulation (EU) No 
…/2012 establishing an exchange, assistance and training programme for the protection 
of the euro against counterfeiting (the ‘Pericles 2020’ programme) 

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION, 

Having  regard  to  the  Treaty  on  the  Functioning  of  the  European  Union,  and  in  particular 
Article 352 thereof, 

Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission, 

After transmission of the draft legislative act to the national Parliaments, 

Having obtained the consent of the European Parliament1,  

Acting in accordance with a special legislative procedure, 

Whereas: 

(1)  When  adopting  Regulation  (EU)  No  …/20122,  the  European  Parliament  and  the 
Council  stipulated  that  it  is  applicable  in  the  Member  States  in  accordance  with  the 
Treaties. Article 139 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union provides 
that measures governing the use of the euro referred to in Article 133 thereof shall not 
apply to the Member States with derogation. 

(2) 

However,  the  exchange  of  information  and  staff  and  the  assistance  and  training 
measures  implemented  under  the  Pericles  programme  should  be  uniform  throughout 
the  Union  and  the  requisite  measures  should  therefore  be  taken  to  ensure  the  same 
level of protection for the euro in the Member States that do not have the euro as their 
official currency.

Effects shall comprise:  

(1) 

(2) 

(3) 

(4) 

positive impact on national and cross-border actions for prevention and repression of 
euro related counterfeiting and fraud; 

possibility for the competent authorities of Member States to obtain support in their 
efforts to achieve and maintain a high and equivalent level of protection of the euro 
banknotes and coins; 

benefit  for  relevant  staff  from  an  appropriate  dissemination  of  general  and  specific 
knowledge  and  the  development  of  cooperation  and  dedicated  networks  for  the 
protection of the euro banknotes and coins;  

assistance to Member States and third countries in improving their institutional and 
legal  framework  to  a  harmonised  high  standard  for  the  protection  against  currency 
counterfeiting and related fraud. 

1.4.4. 

Indicators of results and impact  

Specify the indicators for monitoring implementation of the proposal/initiative. 

Main indicators for monitoring the implementation of the specific objective: 

– 

– 

– 

– 

level of counterfeit euro banknotes and coins;  

number of counterfeit workshops dismantled,  

individuals arrested and  

sanctions imposed 

The work programmes will specify specific targets and key milestones for the implementation 
of the programme.  

1.5. 

Grounds for the proposal/initiative  

The application of the Pericles programme will be extended to the Member States that have 
not  adopted  the  euro  as  their  single  currency,  through  a  proposal  for  a  parallel  Regulation 
based on Article 352 TFEU. 

The  legal  basis  for  the  Pericles  programme  which  is  Article  133  TFEU  where  the  Treaty 
reflects concerns about the protection of the euro by providing for the measures necessary for 
its use as a single currency is applicable only to Member States which have adopted the euro 
as their single currency.  

EN

   EN 

1.5.1.  Requirement(s) to be met in the short or long term  

Taking into account past experience and results under the implementation of Pericles, Pericles 
2020 shall address several challenges to protect the euro against counterfeiting:  

–  new  threats  are  emerging  as  the  euro  banknotes  and  coins  continues  to  be  of  interest  to 
criminal groups in an increasing number of third countries. The Pericles 2020 should be in 
the  position  to  offer  adequate  support  to  the  authorities  of  these  countries  to  address  the 
situation;  

–  the  introduction  of  the  new  series  of  euro  banknotes  in  the  coming  years  is  likely  to 

increase demand for awareness-raising, as well as specialised training; 

–  new countries will be joining the EU and, potentially the euro area, which will add to the 

training needs; 

–  the  demand  for  Pericles  support  should  also  be  seen  against  the  background  of  austerity 

and diminishing resources in Member States. 

1.5.2.  Added value of EU involvement 

The Pericles 2020 programme is expected to contribute to maintaining and further raising the 
level  of  protection  of  the  euro  through  awareness-raising  actions  and  specialised  training  of 
relevant staff; exchanges of staff thus further promoting cooperation and networking among 
competent services of Member States and with third countries; provide technical assistance to 
the authorities involved in the protection of the euro.  

These  actions  are  expected  to  increase  effectiveness  of  prevention  and  repression  of  euro 
counterfeiting and related fraud. 

1.5.3.  Lessons learned from similar experiences in the past 

The Pericles programme was evaluated twice, in 2004 and in 2011. The evaluations showed 
that the Programme achieved its objectives and all beneficiaries expressed the view that the 
Programme must be continued. 

The evaluations also showed areas where the Programme should be improved, namely a need 
for simplification of procedures, rationalisation of use of the grant and the greater possibility 
to assist authorities of third countries in their effort to protect Europe’s single currency. 

1.5.4.  Coherence and possible synergy with other relevant instruments 

The  impact  assessment  showed  that  the  Pericles  programme  is  the  only  EU  programme 
specifically  dedicated  to  the  protection  of  the  euro  against  counterfeiting.  Pericles  should 
continue  to  support,  for  the  period  covered  (2014-2020),  a  set  of  activities  that  are 
complementary to the activities covered by other programmes. To that end, dialogue at both 
national and EU level will continue to be organised in order to avoid potential overlaps and 
ensure overall coherence.

MANAGEMENT MEASURES  

2.1.  Monitoring and reporting rules  

Specify frequency and conditions. 

See Article12 of the proposal according to which: 

-  annual  information  on  results,  including  consistency  and  complementarily  with  other  EU 
programmes, shall be provided to the European Parliament and to the Council; 

- an assessment of the implementation of the objectives of the programme (no later than 31 
December 2017) is foreseen; 

- in addition, a final report to the budgetary authority will be made on the achievement of the 
objectives of the Programme by the end of 2021. 

2.2.  Management and control system  

2.2.1.  Risk(s) identified  

The level of risk is considered low for the grant agreements, since for 90% of the cases the 
beneficiaries are public administrations or law enforcement services in the Member States. 

For the contracts awarded on the basis of a procurement process the risks are narrowed since 
an  important  part  of  the  expenditure  is  legally  and  financially  covered  by  a  framework 
contract concluded for 1 year with the possibility to extend 3 times.  

In line with the Commission requirements, a risk assessment exercise will be performed each 
year. 

- An important risk identified in grant files is the leniently interpretation by the beneficiary of 
the grant conditions regarding eligibility of costs occurred in the implementation of the action. 

-  Expenses  declared  by  the  beneficiary  which  don't  fall  under  the  scope  of  the  grant 
agreement. 

- Staff costs not sufficiently substantiated. 

2.2.2.  Control method(s) envisaged  

The  control  procedures  for  both  sections  of  the  programme  (grants  &  procurements) 
are in compliance with the Financial Regulation. 

Ex-ante verifications (commitment & payments) 

The  Commission/OLAF’s  choice  of  a  financial  management  plan  is  for  a  partially 
decentralised  model  for  which  all  of  the  ex-ante  verification  is  done  in  the  central  Budget 
Unit. All files are verified by at least 3 agents (the file manager and financial verifying agent 
in  the  budget  unit  and  the  operational  verifying  agent  in  the  unit  responsible  for  the 
expenditure) before they are accepted by the Authorising Officer by sub-delegation. 

EN 

11 

   EN 

Every head of unit has been granted a sub-delegation from the Director-General consequently 
every head of unit is responsible for the implementation of his part of the programme. 

- Ex-ante controls are carried out by the FVA on every transaction which requires an approval 
of the AOSD.  

-  Controls  are  done  on  the  sensitive  variables  following  the  results  of  the  risk  assessment 
carried  out  in  the  context  of  the  Accounting  Quality  Report  (such  as:  LE  and  BA,  G/L 
accounts, budget lines, amounts and calculations, etc...). 

In  all  the  Pericles  procurement  files,  an  OLAF  agent  is  present  on  the  day  action  of  the  in 
order to supervise the good implementation of the funds (e.g. conferences and trainings).  

Grants 

-  The  grant  agreement  signed  by  the  beneficiaries  defines  the  conditions  applying  to  the 
financing and activities resorting under the grant, including a chapter on control methods. 

-Depending on a number of variables (the amount of the contract, the complexity of the file) 
an  ex-post  on  the  spot  control  is  carried  out  by  the  financial  and  operational  file  operators. 
During  those  controls  the  quality  as  well  as  the  financial  impact  of  the  output  is  evaluated. 
Commission/OLAF intend to carry out approximately 10 on the spot checks per year. 

Procurement  

-  Detailed  terms  of  reference  are  drafted  and  form  the  basis  of  the  specific  contract.  Anti-
fraud measures are foreseen in all contracts concluded between OLAF and the external party. 

-OLAF performs controls of all deliverables and supervises all operations and services carried 
out by our frame work contractor. 

Additionally,  in  compliance  with  Article  13  of  the  proposal  for  an  European 
Parliament and Council Regulation establishing an exchange, assistance and training 
programme  for  the  protection of  the euro  against counterfeiting (the 'Pericles 2020' 
programme),  measures  are  foreseen  at  the  level  of  the  beneficiaries  (supporting 
documents  shall  be  made  available  to  the  Commission).  Audits  may  be  carried  out 
during the contract or the agreement and for a period of five years following the last 
payment  in  order  to  lead,  where  appropriate,  to  recovery  decisions  by  the 
Commission. The rights of access of Commission staff as well as outside authorised 
personnel  are  defined  and  the  Court  of  Auditors  and  OLAF  shall  enjoy  the  same 
rights. 

The controls established enable OLAF to have sufficient assurance of the quality and 
regularity of the expenditure and reduce the risk of non-compliance. The depth of the 
assessment reaches generally Level 3 and in some cases Level 4 where an on the spot check 
has been carried out8. The above mentioned controls reduce the potential risks virtually 
to zero and reach 100% of the beneficiaries.

Control with reference to and including access to the underlying documentation that is available at the 
stage of the process in question.

   EN 

                                                 
The  costs  entailed  to  implement  the  above  control  strategy  represent  1,15%  of  the 
budget.  This  estimation  is  based  on  the  control  measures  already  in  place  for  the 
Pericles II programme. 

The  programme  control  strategy  is  deemed  efficient  to  limit  the  risk  of  non-
compliance  and  is  proportionate  with  the  risk  entailed  given  the  small  budget 
involved. 

2.3.  Measures to prevent fraud and irregularities  

Specify existing or envisaged prevention and protection measures. 

See  Article  13(2)  of  the  proposal.  The  Commission  shall  carry  out  on-the-spot  checks  and 
inspections under this programme in accordance with Council Regulation (Euratom, EC) No 
2185/96 and, where necessary, investigations shall be conducted by OLAF in accordance with 
Regulation (EC) No 1073/1999 of the European Parliament and of the Council.
