—


in the event that the infringement persists until the date of delivery of the judgment in the present case, order the Kingdom of the Netherlands to pay the Commission a periodic penalty payment in the amount of EUR 75 060 per day from the day of delivery of the judgment in this case until the date on which that Member State fulfils its obligations under the directive, and

Pleas in law and main arguments

Pursuant to Article 17(1) of Directive (EU) 2019/1024, the Member States were required by 17 July 2021 at the latest to adopt the national measures necessary to transpose that directive and to communicate them to the Commission.

New national side of euro coins intended for circulation
(2023/C 116/12)






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: Olympic Games Paris 2024

Description of the design: One hundred years after the Paris 1924 Olympic Games, the French capital will once again host the Summer Games in 2024. One year before the launch of the Olympic Games, the Monnaie de Paris is continuing the celebration by counting down to the start of the Games by highlighting its heritage and that of Paris. An event with international echo whose intensity gradually increases in the years leading up to the event, with already several €2 commemorative coins dedicated to the Olympic Games over the past years.
The design of the coin depicts the Sower, a national figure and icon of French numismatics, practicing pugilism, the forerunner of boxing, in reference to the Antic Olympic Games. Her silhouette is in the foreground in front of the Pont-Neuf and its surroundings, typical of the Ile de la Cité area, a key element of the Parisian landscape. In the background, an athletic track, into which the emblem of Paris 2024 is inserted on the right-hand side, is represented. The year date, the RF mention and the mintmarks are inserted under the arch, on the bridge railing and in the Seine.
The coin’s outer ring depicts the 12 stars of the European flag.

Estimated number of coins to be issued: 260 000

Date of issue: January 2023
