            GUIDELINE (EU) 2024/3131 OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK
         
of 14 November 2024
         
amending Guideline (EU) 2024/3129 on the management of collateral in Eurosystem credit operations (ECB/2024/22) (ECB/2024/36)



THE GOVERNING COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 127(2) thereof,


Having regard to the Statute of the European System of Central Banks and of the European Central Bank, and in particular Articles 3.1, 9.2, 12.1, 14.3, 17, 18.2, the first paragraph of Article 20, and Article 22 thereof,

Whereas:







(1)


On 13 August 2024, the Governing Council adopted Guideline (EU) 2024/3129 of the European Central Bank (ECB/2024/22) (1), the application date of which is aligned with the start date of operations of the Eurosystem Collateral Management System (ECMS).












(2)


On 25 September 2024, the Governing Council decided to reschedule the launch of the ECMS in the light of the assessment that additional time was required to achieve sufficient readiness for a smooth start of operations. On 24 October 2024, the Governing Council decided that the start date of operations of the ECMS should be 16 June 2025.












(3)


Accordingly, the date of application of Guideline (EU) 2024/3129 (ECB/2024/22) should be amended to reflect the new start date of operations of the ECMS. Similarly, the deadline for the notification by the national central banks of Member States whose currency is the euro to the European Central Bank of their implementing measures should also be adjusted.












(4)


Therefore, Guideline (EU) 2024/3129 (ECB/2024/22) should be amended accordingly,
