amending Decision 1999/70/EC concerning the external auditors of the national central banks, as regards the external auditors of the Bank Ċentrali ta’ Malta/Central Bank of Malta


THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to Protocol No 4 on the Statute of the European System of Central Banks and of the European Central Bank, annexed to the Treaty on European Union and the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 27.1 thereof,


Having regard to the Recommendation of the European Central Bank of 24 April 2023 to the Council of the European Union on the external auditors of the Central Bank of Malta (ECB/2023/12) (1),

The mandate of KPMG as external auditors of the Bank Ċentrali ta’ Malta/Central Bank of Malta was terminated by mutual agreement. It is therefore necessary to appoint external auditors for the 2023 financial year.












(3)


The Bank Ċentrali ta’ Malta/Central Bank of Malta has selected Deloitte Audit Ltd as its external auditors for the financial years 2023 to 2027.












(4)


The Governing Council of the ECB recommended that Deloitte Audit Ltd be appointed as the external auditors of the Bank Ċentrali ta’ Malta/Central Bank of Malta for the financial years 2023 to 2027.












(5)


Following the recommendation of the Governing Council of the ECB, Council Decision 1999/70/EC (2) should be amended accordingly,





HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:



Article 1
In Article 1 of Decision 1999/70/EC, paragraph 15 is replaced by the following:

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty on European Union, and in particular Article 28(1) and Article 31(1) thereof,


Having regard to the proposal from the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy,

Whereas:







(1)


On 21 September 2021, the Council adopted Decision (CFSP) 2021/1694 (1).












(2)


Decision (CFSP) 2021/1694 is to expire 24 months after the conclusion of the agreement referred to in Article 3(3) thereof, i.e. on 8 October 2023.












(3)


On 23 January 2023, the implementing agency, the United Nations Office for Disarmament Affairs (UNODA), requested a no-cost extension of the implementation period for the projects referred to in Article 1 of Decision (CFSP) 2021/1694 (‘the projects’) until 8 May 2024. Such an extension would allow UNODA to complete the projects, the implementation of which has been negatively impacted by recruitment delays.












(4)


The extension of the implementation period for the projects until 8 May 2024 does not have any implication as regards financial resources.












(5)


Decision (CFSP) 2021/1694 should therefore be amended accordingly,





HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:



Article 1
In Article 5 of Decision (CFSP) 2021/1694, the second paragraph is replaced by the following:


                  ‘This Decision shall expire on 8 May 2024.’.
