New national side of euro coins intended for circulation
(2020/C 381/03)




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

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 the2-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: Luxembourg

Subject of commemoration: The birth of Prince Charles

Description of the design: The design depicts at the centre the representation of Prince Charles as well as the effigies of his parents, Their Royal Highnesses the Hereditary Grand Duke Guillaume and the Hereditary Grand Duchess Stephanie. Below these effigies, the text ‘S.A.R. de Prënz Charles’ (His Royal Highness the Prince Charles) is followed by the date of birth ‘10 May 2020’. At the left, the word ‘LËTZEBUERG’ as the designation of the issuing country is depicted vertically. The monogram (letter ‘H’ with a crown) is a representation of the Grand Duke Henri.
The coin’s outer ring depicts the 12 stars of the European flag.

Estimated number of coins to be issued: 500 000

Date of issue: December 2020

Questions referred







1.


Is the first paragraph of Article 21 of Directive 2011/83/EU (1) of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 October 2011 on consumer rights, amending Council Directive 93/13/EEC and Directive 1999/44/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council and repealing Council Directive 85/577/EEC and Directive 97/7/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council to be interpreted as precluding a trader from providing, in addition to a telephone number charged at no more than the basic rate, a telephone number which the consumer may use for matters relating to a contract previously concluded and for the use of which a price exceeding the basic rate is charged, and, furthermore, in the event that the provision of a telephone number that charges a rate exceeding the basic rate is deemed to be compatible with Article 21 in certain circumstances, are the factors of, for example, whether it is easy to find the telephone number subject to the basic rate, whether the intended purpose of the telephone numbers is specified with sufficient clarity and whether there are significant differences in the availability or level of customer service relevant to the assessment?










2.


Must the concept of ‘basic rate’ under Article 21 of Directive 2011/83/EU be interpreted as meaning that a trader may provide, as a customer service number for matters relating to a contract concluded previously, only a standard geographic landline or mobile telephone line or a number that is free of charge for consumers, and, furthermore, in the event that the trader is permitted to provide another telephone number, what is the maximum amount that a consumer can be charged for the use of that telephone number if he has concluded a telephone contract as a package deal?






(1)  Directive 2011/83/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 October 2011 on consumer rights, amending Council Directive 93/13/EEC and Directive 1999/44/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council and repealing Council Directive 85/577/EEC and Directive 97/7/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (OJ 2011 L 304, p. 64).
