            COMMISSION DECISION (EU) 2020/109
of 23 January 2020
         
amending the Annex to the Monetary Agreement between the European Union and the Vatican City State


THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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


Having regard to the Monetary Agreement of 17 December 2009 between the European Union and the Vatican City State (1), and in particular Article 8(3) thereof,

Whereas:







(1)


Article 8(1) of the Monetary Agreement between the European Union and the Vatican City State (‘the Monetary Agreement’) requires the Vatican City State to implement Union legal acts and rules on euro banknotes and coins, prevention of money laundering, of fraud and counterfeiting of cash and non-cash means of payment; medals and tokens and statistical reporting requirements. Those acts and rules are listed in the Annex to the Monetary Agreement.












(2)


The Annex to the Monetary Agreement needs to be amended by the Commission every year to take into account the new relevant Union legal acts and rules and the amendments to the existing ones.












(3)


Some legal acts and rules of the Union are not relevant anymore and should therefore be deleted from the Annex, while some new relevant legal acts and rules of the Union and some amendments to existing legal acts were adopted and have to be added to the Annex.












(4)


The Annex to the Monetary Agreement should therefore be amended accordingly,





HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:



Article 1
The Annex to the Monetary Agreement between the European Union and the Vatican City State is replaced by the text in the Annex to this Decision.


Article 2
This Decision shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
