RECOMMENDATION OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK
of 28 November 2013
on payments statistics
(ECB/2013/44)
2014/C 5/01
THE GOVERNING COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK,
Having regard to the Statute of the European System of Central Banks and of the European Central Bank, and in particular to Article 5.1 and the third indent of Article 34.1 thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2533/98 of 23 November 1998 concerning the collection of statistical information by the European Central Bank (1), and in particular Article 8(5) thereof,
Whereas:






(1)


Article 2(1) of Regulation (EC) No 2533/98 provides that statistical information may be collected in the area of payments and payments systems statistics. By means of Regulation (EU) No 1409/2013 of the European Central Bank (ECB/2013/43) (2) the ECB established a framework for collection of payment statistics necessary to fulfill its tasks from payment service providers, electronic money issuers, and payment system operators. These data are essential for identifying and monitoring developments in the payments markets within the Member States, and for assisting in the promotion of the smooth operation of payment systems.










(2)


National central banks (NCBs) of Member States whose currency is not the euro, and who are participating in the framework for collection of payment statistics should cooperate with each other, with NCBs of Member States whose currency is the euro and with the ECB in applying this framework in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 1409/2013 (ECB/2013/43),




HAS ADOPTED THIS RECOMMENDATION:
I.   Definitions

For the purposes of this Recommendation, the terms ‘payment service provider’, ‘electronic money issuer’, and ‘payment system operator’ have the same meaning as defined in Regulation (EU) No 1409/2013 (ECB/2013/43).
II.   Provision of statistical information

The addressees of this Recommendation should apply the provisions addressed to the NCBs contained in Regulation (EU) No 1409/2013 (ECB/2013/43).
III.   Final provision

This Recommendation is addressed to the NCBs of Member States whose currency is not the euro, insofar as applicable, which are participating in the framework for collection of payment statistics within the ESCB, established under Regulation (EU) No 1409/2013 (ECB/2013/43).

Parties to the main proceedings


Applicant: Ministre de l’Économie et des Finances

Defendant: Gérard de Ruyter

Question referred

Do the tax levies on income from assets, such as the social contribution on income from assets, the social debt repayment contribution based on that same income, the social levy of 2 % and the additional contribution to that levy, have, by virtue of the mere fact that they contribute to the financing of compulsory French social security schemes, a direct and relevant link with some of the branches of social security listed in Article 4 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1408/71 of 14 June 1971 on the application of social security schemes to employed persons, to self-employed persons and to members of their families moving within the Community, (1) and do they thus fall within the scope of that regulation?
