New national side of euro coins intended for circulation
(2021/C 20/04)




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

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: Germany

Subject of commemoration: Bundesländer series – Saxony-Anhalt

Description of the design: The design shows the Magdeburg Cathedral, the first Gothic-style cathedral to be constructed on German soil. The inner part also features the name ‘SACHSEN-ANHALT’ and the issuing country’s country code ‘D’ at the bottom, the mint mark of the respective mint (‘A’, ‘D’, ‘F’, ‘G’ or ‘J’) as well as the the year ‘2021’ on the left and the engraver’s mark on the right.
The coin’s outer ring depicts the 12 stars of the European flag.

Estimated number of coins to be issued: 30 000 000

Date of issue: 26 January 2021

Questions referred







1.


Does Commission Regulation (EC) No 1685/2000 of 28 July 2000 laying down detailed rules for the implementation of Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 (1) as regards eligibility of expenditure of operations co-financed by the Structural Funds, and in particular the provisions of point 2.1 of Rule No 1 of the Annex thereto (‘proof of expenditure’), require that proof of payment by final beneficiaries must necessarily be furnished by means of receipted invoices, even if the funding was granted to the beneficiary to construct a building using its own materials, tools and labour, or may there be a derogation, other than the one specifically provided for where this is not possible, which requires the presentation of ‘accounting documents of equivalent probative value’?










2.


What is the correct interpretation of the phrase ‘accounting documents of equivalent probative value’?

Specifically, do the abovementioned provisions of [Regulation (EC) No 1685/2000] preclude national and regional law and consequent implementing measures which, in the event that funding has been granted to the beneficiary in order to construct a building using its own materials, tools and labour, provide for a system of auditing the publicly funded expenditure consisting of:






(a)


prior quantification of the works on the basis of a regional price list for public works and, for items not provided for therein, the current market prices estimated by the architect;










(b)


a subsequent report, with presentation of the accounts for the works, consisting of the measurement booklet and the accounting ledger, duly signed on each page by the director of works and the beneficiary undertaking, and the audit and confirmation of the works carried out, on the basis of the unit prices referred to in point (a), by an inspection committee appointed by the competent regional administrative authority?
