            GUIDELINE (EU) 2017/469 OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK
         
of 7 February 2017
         
amending Guideline ECB/2008/8 on data collection regarding the euro and the operation of the Currency Information System 2 (ECB/2017/7)


THE EXECUTIVE BOARD OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 128 thereof,


Having regard to the Statute of the European System of Central Banks and of the European Central Bank, and in particular Articles 5 and 16 thereof,

Whereas:







(1)


In order to improve the collection of data regarding the euro by the European Central Bank (ECB), assisted by the national central banks, a number of new euro banknote data items and euro coin data items should be introduced in the Currency Information System 2 (CIS 2) data collection procedure. In particular, data concerning the destruction of banknotes and coins directly from the relevant stocks, the breakdown of data on coin stocks by quality, and additional data concerning notes-held-to-order or similar schemes should be included in the CIS 2 reporting obligations.












(2)


Daily reporting of certain data relating to euro banknotes and coins should be reflected by integrating that data into the general reporting scheme.












(3)


In order to improve the quality of the data collected, new plausibility checks for data consistency should be introduced. Furthermore, additional reference data such as benchmarks for logistical stocks of circulation coins and system parameters to take account of bank holidays should be established for the proper functioning of the CIS 2.












(4)


Increased clarity will facilitate the reporting of data into the CIS 2 and alleviate the reporting burden on the relevant stakeholders. The reporting requirements should therefore be adapted and certain requirements which are no longer relevant should be removed.












(5)


Under Article 11(2) of Guideline ECB/2008/8 (1), the Executive Board of the ECB is authorised to make technical amendments to the Annexes to that Guideline and to the specifications of the CIS 2 transmission mechanism, after taking into account the views of the relevant committees of the European System of Central Banks (ESCB). The changes to the Annexes to Guideline ECB/2008/8 constitute such technical amendments, and the views of the relevant ESCB committees have been taken into account. As those Annexes should be restructured to implement the technical amendments, necessary consequential amendments should be made elsewhere in that Guideline.












(6)


Therefore, Guideline ECB/2008/8 should be amended accordingly,





HAS ADOPTED THIS GUIDELINE:



Article 1

Amendments

Guideline ECB/2008/8 is amended as follows:






1.


in Article 1(1), points (p) and (q) are replaced by the following:






‘(p)


“category 1 data item” means a data item reported by NCBs to the CIS 2 as defined in Annexes I to III, which shall be reported for each reporting period;










(q)


“event-driven data item” means a data item reported by NCBs to the CIS 2 as defined in Annexes I to III for which data is reported only if the underlying event occurs during the reporting period;’;














2.


in Article 2, paragraph 1 is replaced by the following:

‘1.   NCBs shall report to the ECB the CIS 2 data related to euro banknotes, i.e. the data items specified in Part 1 of Annex I, while observing the reporting frequency specified therein and the booking rules specified in Part 3 of Annex I.’;











3.


in Article 4, paragraph 1 is replaced by the following:

‘1.   NCBs shall provide the ECB with the cash infrastructure and operational data, as specified in Annex III, on a semi-annual basis. The data provided to the ECB shall be based on data that NCBs have obtained from cash handlers pursuant to Annex IV to Decision ECB/2010/14.’;











4.


in Article 5, paragraph 3 is replaced by the following:

‘3.   After the euro cash changeover date and within a period to be agreed between the NCB and the ECB, the NCB shall report to the ECB on data items specified in Annex II on a daily basis.’;











5.


Article 7 is amended as follows:






(a)


paragraph 1 is replaced by the following:

‘1.   NCBs shall take appropriate measures to ensure the completeness and correctness of data required pursuant to this Guideline before transmitting them to the ECB. As a minimum, they shall perform:






(a)


the completeness checks, i.e. ensuring that category 1 and event-driven data items are reported according to the principles laid down in this Guideline and in Annexes I to III;










(b)


the correctness checks set out in Annex V.




The CIS 2 application shall reject data messages that do not contain category 1 data items as defined in Annexes I to III, which shall be reported for the respective reporting period.’;











(b)


paragraph 3 is replaced by the following:

‘3.   The ECB shall ensure that: (a) the completeness and correctness checks specified in Annexes I to III and Annex V for data items that are reported on a monthly and semi-annual basis; and (b) the completeness checks specified in Annexes I and II for data items that are reported on a daily basis, are carried out by the CIS 2 before the data are stored in the central database of the CIS 2.’;















6.


Annexes I to VII are replaced by the text set out in the Annex to this Guideline.






Article 2

Taking effect

This Guideline shall take effect on the day of its notification to the national central banks of the Member States whose currency is the euro.

PART 3

CIS 2 booking rules for euro banknote movements

1.   Introduction

This part lays down the common booking rules for banknote deliveries from printing works, transfers between NCBs and transfers between different stock types within the same NCB in order to ensure the consistency of data in the CIS 2. Future Eurosystem NCBs should apply these rules mutatis mutandis.
2.   Transaction types

There are four transaction types for banknote movements:
—   Transaction type 1 (direct delivery): direct delivery of new banknotes from a printing works to the responsible NCB which is also the receiving NCB.
—   Transaction type 2 (direct delivery to the receiving NCB without interim storage): direct delivery of new banknotes from a printing works to a receiving NCB that is not also the responsible NCB. The banknotes are delivered to the receiving NCB directly from the printing works appointed by the responsible NCB for their production, without any interim storage of the banknotes at the responsible NCB. For the joint production of euro banknotes (consortium), the consortium leader may be appointed as the responsible NCB for the entire banknote production volume.
—   Transaction type 3 (indirect delivery with interim storage): indirect delivery of new banknotes from a printing works via the responsible NCB to a receiving NCB. The banknotes are stored for at least one day at the responsible NCB before they are transported by the responsible NCB to the receiving NCB.
—   Transaction type 4 (transfer): transfer of (new, fit, unprocessed or unfit) stocks of banknotes between (i) two different NCBs (as supplying and receiving NCB), with or without a change of the stock type (LS/ESS); or (ii) different stock types within the same NCB.
3.   Reconciliation of data related to banknote movements

The two NCBs involved in a banknote movement clarify bilaterally the quantities and breakdowns of the data to be reported. If more than two NCBs are involved in banknote movements (e.g. receipt of banknotes for testing purposes), instructions on how to book the euro banknote movements will be provided ex-ante by the ECB.
To synchronise the supplying and receiving NCBs’ bookings, each banknote movement is only booked by the supplying and the receiving NCB on completion of the banknote movement, i.e. when the receiving NCB has confirmed receipt of the banknotes and registered them in its local cash management system. If the banknotes arrive late in the evening on the last working day of the month and cannot be registered in the local cash management system of the receiving NCB on that day, the supplying and the receiving NCBs must agree bilaterally whether to book the banknote movement in the current month or in the following month.
4.   Booking rules

PART 2

Specification of euro coin data items

For data items 1.3, 5.3 and 6.1, the figures are reported in terms of value and with two decimal places, irrespective of whether they are positive or negative. For the remaining data items, the figures are reported in terms of pieces as integer figures, irrespective of whether they are positive or negative.







1.   Cumulative data items






Cumulative data are figures aggregated over all reporting periods starting with the first delivery from a printing works and ending with the close of the respective reporting period.




1.1


National net issuance of circulation coins


NCBs calculate the national net issuance of circulation coins using one of the following equivalent formulas:

Formula 1

National net issuance = cumulative total coins issued to the public (cumulative data item 3.1) – cumulative total coins returned from the public (cumulative data item 3.2)

Formula 2

National net issuance = created coins – cumulative total deliveries (cumulative data item 4.1) + cumulative total receipts (cumulative data item 4.2) – created stocks – destroyed coins




1.2


National net issuance of collector coins (number)


Total number of collector coins put into circulation, aggregated over all denominations. NCBs calculate this figure using mutatis mutandis the same formulae as for data item 1.1, except that cumulative total deliveries and cumulative total receipts do not apply.




1.3


National net issuance of collector coins (value)


Total face value of collector coins put into circulation, aggregated over all denominations. NCBs calculate this figure using mutatis mutandis the same formulae as for data item 1.1 above, except that cumulative total deliveries and cumulative total receipts do not apply.




1.4


Coins destroyed


Circulation coins which have been destroyed, by the Member State’s coin issuing entity or on its behalf, either after authentication and fitness sorting or directly from the stocks regardless of the reason for destruction.




2.   Data items related to coin stocks






These data items refer to the close of the reporting period. If an NCB or a coin-issuing entity does not break down the euro coin stocks based on quality, all the coin stocks must be reported under data item 2.2 “Logistical stocks of fit coins”.




2.1


Logistical stocks of new coins


New circulation coins which are held by the NCB or by the Member State’s coin issuing entity or third parties on their behalf, irrespective of whether the coins have: (i) not been created or credited to the legal issuer(s); (ii) been created but not credited to the legal issuer(s); or (iii) been created and credited to the legal issuer(s).
Coin stocks held by mints only include coins which have passed final quality checks, irrespective of their packaging and delivery status.




2.2


Logistical stocks of fit coins


Fit circulation coins which are held by the NCB or the Member State’s coin issuing entity or third parties on their behalf, irrespective of whether the coins have: (i) not been created or credited to the legal issuer(s); (ii) been created but not credited to the legal issuer(s); or (iii) been created and credited to the legal issuer(s). If the NCBs or the Member State’s coin issuing entities, or third parties on their behalf do not perform euro coin sorting, any euro coins received may be put under this data item.




2.3


Stocks of unfit coins


Circulation coins which are held by the NCB or the Member State’s coin issuing entity or third parties on their behalf, that have been declared as unfit for circulation after the sorting process, irrespective of whether the coins have: (i) not been created or credited to the legal issuer(s); (ii) been created but not credited to the legal issuer(s); or (iii) been created and credited to the legal issuer(s).




2.4


Stocks of unprocessed coins


Circulation coins which have been lodged with the NCB or the Member State’s coin issuing entity or third parties on their behalf, and which have not been processed, irrespective of whether the coins have: (i) not been created or credited to the legal issuer(s); (ii) been created but not credited to the legal issuer(s); or (iii) been created and credited to the legal issuer(s).




3.   Data items related to operational activities






These data items, as flow data, cover the entire reporting period.




3.1


Coins issued to the public

The NCB’s stocks of circulation and collector coins which are credited to legal issuer(s), irrespective of their legal tender status. This includes stocks credited to the legal issuer of the Member State of the NCB and stocks which have been received from other participating Member States against face value (the coins received are credited to the legal issuer of the supplying Member State, but become part of the credited stocks of the receiving NCB).
Deliveries and/or receipts at production cost have no impact on this data item




7.   Data items for future participating member states






These data items refer to the close of the reporting period.

PART 3

CIS 2 booking rules for euro coin movements between (future) participating Member States

1.   Introduction

This part lays down the common booking rules for coin movements between the participating Member States, in particular between NCBs, to ensure the consistency of data in the CIS 2 on the national net and gross issuance of coins. As coin transfers may involve both NCBs/future Eurosystem NCBs and coin-issuing third parties, these are referred to together consistently hereinafter under the heading “Member States”.
Future participating Member States should apply these rules mutatis mutandis.
2.   Coin movements between supplying and receiving Member States

For coin transfers between Member States a distinction is made between transfer at face value and transfer at production cost. In both cases transfers between the coin-issuing entities of the supplying Member State and receiving Member State do not lead to a change in the national net issuance.
In the following tables of this section a “+” sign indicates that an increase is booked and a “–” sign indicates that a decrease is booked in the CIS 2.

“Coins issued to the public” in the supplying Member State (data item 3.1) and “coins returned from the public” in the receiving Member State (data item 3.2) remain unchanged.










(b)


The accounts relating to “created” coins within the cash management systems of the supplying Member State and the receiving Member State remain unchanged (where applicable).










(c)


“Credited stocks of circulation coins held by coin-issuing entities” (data item 5.1) in the supplying Member State:






—


are decreased if the delivered coins were previously credited to the legal issuer in the supplying Member State,










—


remain unchanged if the delivered coins were previously created but not credited to the legal issuer.














(d)


“Credited stocks of circulation coins held by coin-issuing entities” (data item 5.1) in the receiving Member State are:






—


increased if a decrease in accordance with note (c) has taken place in the supplying Member State,










—


increased if the stocks of circulation coins have been created, but not credited at the supplying Member State, in which case the increase will take place once the received coins have been issued by the receiving Member State’s legal issuer.














(e)


The above bookings affect the national gross issuance as follows:






—


Supplying Member State: unchanged if the delivered coins have previously been created and credited to the supplying Member State’s legal issuer, or unchanged if the delivered coins have previously been created but not credited to the supplying Member State’s legal issuer.










—


Receiving Member State: unchanged if the delivered coins have previously been created and credited to the supplying Member State’s legal issuer, or increased if the delivered coins have previously been created but not credited to the supplying Member State’s legal issuer, as in such situations the receiving Member State’s legal issuer will issue the coins.

CORRECTNESS CHECKS FOR DATA SENT BY NCBs AND FUTURE EUROSYSTEM NCBs

1.   Introduction

Data sent by NCBs and future Eurosystem NCBs to the ECB are checked for correctness in the CIS 2, which distinguishes between two types of checks, “must checks” and “should checks”.
A “must check” is a correctness check which must be passed without exceeding the threshold for the tolerance level. If a “must check” is failed, the underlying data are treated as incorrect and the CIS 2 rejects the entire data message sent by the NCB. The threshold is 1 % for correctness checks with an “equal to” operator (18) and zero for the remaining correctness checks.
A “should check” is a correctness check for which a threshold of 3 % for the tolerance level is applied. If this threshold is exceeded, this has no impact on the acceptance of the data message in the CIS 2, but a warning is shown in the web-based online application for this correctness check. This warning is visible to all NCB and future Eurosystem NCB users.
Correctness checks are conducted for banknotes and coins with legal tender status and separately for each combination of series and denomination. For banknotes they are also conducted for each combination of variant and denomination, if such variants exist. For data items where the series or variant discrimination can only be estimated by using statistical methods, the correctness check is only applied to the aggregated denomination, i.e. the sum of all variants or series of the same denomination. Correctness checks for data on banknote transfers (checks 5.1 and 5.2) and for data on coin transfers (check 6.6) are also conducted for banknotes with pre-legal-tender and post-legal-tender statuses.
2.   Correctness check on the national net issuance of banknotes

If a new series, variant or denomination becomes legal tender, a correctness check is performed from the first reporting period in which the new series, variant or denomination is legal tender. The national net issuance for the previous reporting period (t-1) is zero in this case.

3.   Correctness check on banknote stocks

The correctness checks on banknote stocks are only applied from the second reporting period in which an NCB reports CIS 2 data to the ECB.
If a series, variant or denomination becomes legal tender, these correctness checks are only applied from the second reporting period in which this series, variant or denomination is legal tender.
For NCBs of Member States that have recently adopted the euro (i.e. former future Eurosystem NCBs) the correctness checks on banknote stocks are applied from the second reporting period after adoption of the euro.

Glossary


This Glossary defines technical terms used in the Annexes to this Guideline.


“Banknote series”
 means a number of denominations of euro banknotes defined as a series in Decision ECB/2013/10 of the European Central Bank (19) or in a subsequent ECB legal act. The first series of euro banknotes as launched on 1 January 2002 consists of the denominations EUR 5, EUR 10, EUR 20, EUR 50, EUR 100, EUR 200 and EUR 500. Euro banknotes that have revised technical specifications or a revised design (e.g. a different signature for different presidents of the ECB) only constitute a new banknote series if referred to as such in Decision ECB/2013/10 or in a subsequent ECB legal act.


“Banknotes in circulation”
 means all euro banknotes issued by the Eurosystem and put into circulation by the NCBs at a certain point in time, which for the purposes of this Guideline also includes the banknotes put into circulation by NHTO entities and ECI banks. It is equal to the aggregated national net issuance of euro banknotes. It should be noted that the concept of “banknotes in circulation” is not applied at national level because it cannot be determined whether banknotes put into circulation in one participating Member State are circulating in that Member State or whether they have been returned from circulation to other NCBs, NHTO entities or ECI banks.


“Banknote variant”
 within a banknote series means a sub-series comprising of one or more euro banknote denominations with upgraded security features and/or a revised design.


“Cash centre”
 means a centralised secure facility where euro banknotes and/or euro circulation coins are handled after transportation from different sites.


“Circulation coins”
 has the same meaning as in Article 2 of Council Regulation (EU) No 729/2014 (20).


“Coin series”
 means a number of denominations of euro coins referred to as a series in Article 1 of Regulation (EU) No 729/2014 or in a subsequent Union legal act. The first series of euro coins as launched on 1 January 2002 consists of the denominations EUR 0,01, EUR 0,02, EUR 0,05, EUR 0,10, EUR 0,20, EUR 0,50, EUR 1 and EUR 2. Euro coins that have revised technical specifications or a revised design (e.g. amendments to the European map on the common side) only constitute a new coin series if referred to as such in an amendment to Regulation (EU) No 729/2014 or in a subsequent Union legal act.


“Coins in circulation”
 means the aggregated national net issuance of euro circulation coins (data item 1.1). It should be noted that the concept of “coins in circulation” is not applied at national level because it cannot be determined whether coins put into circulation in a participating Member State are circulating there and whether they have been returned from circulation to coin-issuing entities in other participating Member States. Euro collector coins are not included as these coins are only legal tender in the Member State of issuance.


“Collector coins”
 has the same meaning as in Article 1 of Regulation (EU) No 651/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council (21).


“Created coins”
 means euro circulation coins which have been: (i) produced by mints with a particular national side; (ii) delivered to coin-issuing entities in a participating Member State; and (iii) registered in the cash management systems of such coin-issuing entities. This applies mutatis mutandis to euro collector coins.


“Denomination”
 means the face value of a euro banknote or coin, as laid down for banknotes in Decision ECB/2013/10 or in a subsequent ECB legal act, and for coins in Regulation (EU) No 729/2014 or in a subsequent Union legal act.


“Eurosystem Strategic Stock”
 (ESS) means the stock of new and fit euro banknotes stored by certain NCBs to cope with a demand for euro banknotes which cannot be met from logistical stocks (22).


“Extended custodial inventory programme”
 (“ECI programme”) means a programme consisting of contractual arrangements between the ECB, an NCB and individual credit institutions (“ECI banks”), whereby the NCB (i) supplies the ECI banks with euro banknotes, which they hold in custody outside Europe for the purpose of putting them into circulation; and (ii) credits the ECI banks for euro banknotes which are deposited by their customers, checked for authenticity and fitness, held in custody and notified to the NCB. The banknotes held in custody by the ECI banks, including those in transit between the NCB and the ECI banks, are fully collateralised until they are put into circulation by the ECI banks or returned to the NCB. Banknotes transferred from the NCB to ECI banks form part of the NCB’s created banknotes (data item 1.1). Banknotes held in custody by ECI banks do not form part of the NCB’s national net issuance of banknotes.


“Fit banknotes”
 means (i) euro banknotes which have been returned to NCBs and are fit for circulation in accordance with a separate ECB legal act on banknote processing by NCBs; or (ii) euro banknotes which have been returned to credit institutions, including NHTO entities and ECI banks, and which are fit for circulation in accordance with the minimum sorting standards laid down in Decision ECB/2010/14.


“Logistical stocks”
 (LS) means all stocks of new and fit euro banknotes, other than the ESS, held by NCBs, and for the purposes of this Guideline by NHTO entities and ECI banks.

“National gross issuance” in relation to euro coins means euro circulation coins or euro collector coins which have been issued by the legal issuer in the participating Member State (i.e. coins, the face value of which has been credited to the legal issuer), irrespective of whether these coins are held by an NCB, a future Eurosystem NCB, a coin-issuing third party or the public.
For circulation coins, national gross issuance = national net issuance of circulation coins (data item 1.1) + credited stocks of circulation coins held by coin-issuing entities (data item 5.1) + transfers of circulation coins since their introduction (cumulative data item 4.1) — receipts of circulation coins since their introduction (cumulative data item 4.2).
For collector coins, national gross issuance = national net issuance of collector coins (value) (data item 1.3) + value of credited collector coins held by coin-issuing entities (data item 5.3).


“National net issuance of banknotes”
 means the volume of euro banknotes issued and put into circulation by an individual NCB at a specific point in time (e.g. the close of a reporting period), including all euro banknotes put into circulation by all national NHTO entities and all ECI banks managed by that NCB. Banknote transfers to other NCBs or future Eurosystem NCBs are excluded. National net issuance of banknotes can be calculated by using either (i) the stock method, which uses only stock data relating to a specific point in time; or (ii) the flow method, which aggregates flow data from the date of the banknotes’ introduction until a specific point in time (i.e. the close of the reporting period).


“New banknotes”
 means euro banknotes which have not yet been put into circulation by NCBs, NHTO entities or ECI banks, or frontloaded by future Eurosystem NCBs.


“Notes-held-to-order or similar scheme”or“NHTO scheme”,
 means a scheme consisting of individual contractual arrangements between an NCB and one or more entities (“NHTO entities”) in the NCB’s participating Member State, whereby the NCB: (i) supplies the NHTO entities with euro banknotes which they hold in custody outside the NCBs’ premises for the purpose of putting them into circulation; and (ii) credits or debits directly the NCB account held by the NHTO entities or by the credit institutions that are customers of the NHTO entities for euro banknotes which are deposited with or withdrawn from the custody premises by NHTO entities or by their customers and notified to the NCB. Banknotes transferred from the NCB to NHTO entities form part of the NCB’s created banknotes (data item 1.1). Banknotes held in custody by NHTO entities do not form part of the NCB’s national net issuance of banknotes.


“Public”
 in relation to euro coin issuance means all entities and members of the general public other than the coin-issuing entities in (future) participating Member States.


“Starter kit”
 means a package containing a number of euro circulation coins of different denominations, as specified by the competent national authorities, for the purpose of sub-frontloading euro circulation coins to the general public in a future participating Member State.


“Unfit banknotes”
 means (i) euro banknotes which have been returned to NCBs but which are not fit for circulation in accordance with a separate ECB legal act on banknote processing by NCBs; or (ii) euro banknotes which have been returned to credit institutions, including NHTO entities and ECI banks, but which are not fit for circulation in accordance with the minimum sorting standards laid down in Decision ECB/2010/14.


“Unprocessed banknotes”
 means (i) euro banknotes which have been returned to NCBs but which have not been checked for authenticity and fitness in accordance with a separate ECB legal act on banknote processing by NCBs; or (ii) euro banknotes which have been returned to credit institutions, including NHTO entities and ECI banks, but which have not been checked for authenticity and fitness in accordance with Decision ECB/2010/14.

(1)  The data are broken down by each ECI bank.

(2)  The category 1 completeness attribute applies to all data items with a legal tender status . If the legal tender status is set to pre- or post-legal tender, on the basis of a separate decision, all category 1 data items are regarded as being event-driven data items.

(3)  Depending on the issuance modalities as laid down in a separate decision, the entities indicated as the data source will use statistical methods to determine the breakdown by series and variant for mixed bundles or mixed packets containing euro banknotes of different series and/or variants.

(4)  Information is provided on the stock type from which the transferred euro banknotes have been taken at the supplying NCB, i.e. production (delivery from printing works), Eurosystem Strategic Stock (ESS) or logistical stocks (LS).

(5)  Information is provided on the stock type to which the euro banknotes have been transferred at the receiving NCB, i.e. either ESS or LS.

(6)  Information is provided on whether the transferred euro banknotes were new, fit, unprocessed or unfit. If banknotes with more than one quality type were transferred, while the other breakdowns are identical, a separate movement must be reported for each quality type.

(7)  Information is provided on the calendar year to which the production has been allocated in a separate ECB legal act on banknote production, irrespective of whether the production extended into the following year. If the banknotes delivered relate to different separate ECB legal acts on banknote production, each of which refers to a different calendar year, while the other breakdowns are identical, separate deliveries are reported.

(8)  Information is provided on whether the transfer was scheduled in accordance with a separate ECB legal act, or whether it is an ad hoc transfer.

(9)  Any banknotes created and subsequently marked as specimen banknotes are deducted from this data item.

(10)  The data are broken down by the relevant coin-issuing entities.

(11)  Daily data on euro coins are only provided by an NCB after the euro cash changeover date and within a period to be agreed between the NCB and the ECB.

(12)  NCBs that do not report their euro coin stock breakdown by quality will report their coin stocks under item 2.2 “Logistical stocks of fit coins”.

(13)  Coin-issuing third parties are mints, treasury, appointed public agencies and appointed private agencies.

(14)  Reporting of data depends on their availability in the participating Member State. NCBs inform the ECB of the extent of their reporting.

(15)  NCBs provide data covering all cash handlers which are referred to in Article 6(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1338/2001. NCBs inform the ECB of the extent of their reporting.

(18)  The allowed maximum difference between the left side and the right side of an equation must not exceed the absolute value of the equation side with the greater absolute value multiplied by the threshold. The correctness check verifies whether: Absolute value (“left side” – “right side”) is less than or equal to the allowed maximum difference. Example: “left side” = 190; “right side” = 200; threshold = 1 %; allowed maximum difference: 200 × 1 % = 2; The correctness check verifies whether: Absolute value (190 – 200) ≤ 2. In this example: Absolute value (190 – 200) = 10. As a result, the correctness check fails.
