WRITTEN QUESTION E-2707/00

by Christopher Huhne (ELDR) to the Commission

(1 September 2000)

Subject: Security features in euro notes

Will the Commission state whether any modern security features that might have been incorporated into the design of euro notes have been sacrificed because not all of the proposed printing plants were technically capable of producing them?

If so, which security features have been dropped?

Answer given by Mr Solbes Mira on behalf of the Commission

(29 September 2000)

The European Central Bank bears sole responsibility for deciding on the security features of euro banknotes and overseeing their production. The Commission is therefore unable to answer questions on the subject.
