New national side of euro coins intended for circulation
(2020/C 256/02)




National side of the new commemorative 2-euro coin intended for circulation and issued by France

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), euro-area Member States and countries that have concluded a monetary agreement with the European Union 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 face features a commemorative design that is highly symbolic in national or European terms.

Issuing country: France

Subject of commemoration: Charles de Gaulle

Description of the design: The design represents two profiles of Charles de Gaulle at two different times. The profile in the background shows Charles de Gaulle in army general is uniform during the call to arms of the 18th June 1940 or during the liberation of Paris. The profile in the foreground represents Charles de Gaulle during his second presidential term of office. Finally, the mention RF is semi-integrated in a Lorraine cross, symbol of free France chosen by General de Gaulle in 1940. His dates of birth and death as well as the year date are also inscribed in the Lorraine cross.
The coin’s outer ring depicts the 12 stars of the European flag.

Number of coins to be issued: 18 061 940

Date of issue:18 June 2020

REPORT FROM THE COMMISSION TO THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL on the exercise of the power to adopt delegated acts conferred on the Commission under Regulation (EU) 2016/792 on harmonised indices of consumer prices and the house price index

   EUROPEAN COMMISSION  Brussels, 4.8.2020  COM(2020) 354 final  REPORT FROM THE COMMISSION TO THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL on the exercise of the power to adopt delegated acts conferred on the Commission under Regulation (EU) 2016/792 on harmonised indices of consumer prices and the house price index  
 
 
1. 

BACKGROUND 

Regulation  (EU)  2016/792  of  the  European  Parliament  and  of  the  Council  on 
harmonised  indices  of  consumer  prices  and  the  house  price  index  was  adopted  in 
May 20161. 

Article 10 of Regulation (EU) 2016/792 confers powers on the Commission to adopt 
delegated  acts.  According  to  Article  4(3),  this  power  can  be  used  to  amend  the 
European  COICOP2  classification  set  out  in  Annex  I.  Article  4(5)  provides  for  the 
power to adopt delegated acts to amend Article 4(4), and, pursuant to Article 5(8), 
the power can be used to amend the list of excluded sub-indices. 

Under Article 10(3), the power to adopt delegated acts is conferred for a period of 5 
years from 13 June 2016. This power is to be tacitly extended for periods of 5 years 
unless the European Parliament or the Council objects. 

The Commission is obliged to draw up a report on the delegation of power not later 
than  9  months  before  the  end  of  the  five-year  period.  This  report  fulfils  this 
obligation. 

2. 

COMMISSION  EXERCISE  OF  DELEGATED  POWERS  UNDER  REGULATION  (EU) 
2016/792 

The Commission has not yet exercised its power to adopt delegated acts as conferred 
on it by Regulation (EU) 2016/792. 

Since  Regulation    (EU)  2016/792  entered  into  force,  the  Commission  has  seen  no 
need  to  update  Article  4(4),  Article  5(8)  or  Annex  I.  It  is,  however,  expected  that 
Annex I will need to be updated within the next 5 years to take into account changes 
to the United Nations’ COICOP. This update will make the harmonised indices for 
consumer prices more relevant for current economic structures. 

3. 

CONCLUSIONS 

The Commission has not yet exercised its power to adopt delegated acts as conferred 
on it by Regulation (EU) 2016/792. 

The Commission  considers that it should continue to  have these delegated powers, 
as in the future it may need to adopt a delegated act to modify Article 4(4), Article 
5(8) or Annex I in order to improve the harmonised indices of consumer prices and 
the house price index.

Questions referred







1.


Does the concept of fraud affecting the [European Union’s] financial interests, as provided for in Article 1(1)(a) of the Convention drawn up on the basis of Article K.3 of the Treaty on European Union, on the protection of the European Communities’ financial interests, encompass an offence committed to give a semblance of compliance with the provisions laid down in Article 57(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1083/2006 (1), so as to prevent the application by the Member State of the rules laid down in paragraph 3 of that article, in conjunction with those laid down in Article 98 of that regulation, or only an offence committed prior to completion of the execution phase, excluding acts committed in the sustainability phase?










2.


May EU law, and in particular the provisions of Article 4(3) TEU, in conjunction with those of Article 325(1) and (2) TFEU, [and] Article 1(1)(a) of the Convention drawn up on the basis of Article K.3 of the Treaty on European Union, on the protection of the European Communities’ financial interests, be interpreted as precluding a national provision that exempts from punishment a person accused of an offence committed after completion of the project execution phase — in other words, during the sustainability phase, and with regard to the obligations assumed by that person under the financing agreement — and as further precluding the national rule from being interpreted as meaning that the concept of fraud affecting the [European Union’s] financial interests does not also include the unlawful conduct of the beneficiary of the funding during the project sustainability phase, with regard to the obligations assumed under the financing agreement, regardless of the origin of the funds or the amounts disbursed in fulfilment of the obligations assumed by the beneficiary to ensure the sustainability of the project (the beneficiary’s own resources or [EU] funds)?
