DEN EUROPÆISKE CENTRALBANKS RETNINGSLINJE af 7 . april 2006 om Eurosystemets levering af tjenesteydelser vedrørende forvaltning af valutareserver i euro til centralbanker og lande uden for euroområdet og internationale organisationer ( ECB / 2006/4 ) ( 2006/294 / EF ) ( EUT L 107 af 20.4.2006 , s. 54 )

2006O0004 --- EN --- 01.07.2009 --- 001.001 --- 2 ▼B GUIDELINE OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK of 7 April 2006 on the Eurosystem 's provision of reserve management services in euro to central banks and countries located outside the euro area and to international organisations ( ECB / 2006/4 ) ( 2006/294 / EC ) THE GOVERNING COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK ,
Det er nødvendigt at ændre retningslinje ECB / 2004/13 af 1 . juli 2004 om Eurosystemets levering af tjenesteydelser vedrørende forvaltning af valutareserver i euro til centralbanker og lande uden for euroområdet og internationale organisationer ( 1 ) for at tilgodese ændringer i definitionen af » valutareserver « og afskaffelsen af den tærskel , hvorunder der ikke tilbydes forrentning på dag-til-dag kreditsaldi , der indehaves som en kontant -/ investeringstjenesteydelse .
Guideline ECB / 2004/13 of 1 July 2004 on the Eurosystem 's provision of reserve management services in euro to central banks and countries located outside the euro area and to international organisations ( 1 ) requires amendment to accommodate changes to the definition of « reserves » and the removal of the threshold below which no remuneration is offered on overnight credit balances held as a cash / investment service .
Retningslinje ECB / 2004/13 er allerede blevet ændret én gang , og der bør derfor foretages en omarbejdning for at sikre klarhed og gennemsigtighed .
Guideline ECB / 2004/13 has already been amended once and should therefore be recast in the interests of clarity and transparency .
Styrelsesrådet er af den opfattelse , at Eurosystemet bør optræde som et samlet system i forbindelse med tjenesteydelser vedrørende forvaltning af valutareserver , som leveres af Eurosystemet til disse kunder , uanset gennem hvilket medlem af Eurosystemet disse tjenesteydelser leveres .
The Governing Council considers that the Eurosystem should act as a single system when providing Eurosystem reserve management services to such customers , irrespective of the Eurosystem member through which such services are provided .
Med dette for øje finder Styrelsesrådet det nødvendigt at vedtage denne retningslinje for blandt andet at sikre , at Eurosystemets tjenesteydelser vedrørende forvaltning af valutareserver leveres på et standardiseret grundlag og på harmoniserede betingelser og vilkår , at ECB modtager tilstrækkelige oplysninger om disse tjenesteydelser , og at der fastsættes de fælles minimumskarakteristika , som er påkrævet i kontraktlige aftaler med kunder .
To this end , the Governing Council considers it necessary to adopt this Guideline to ensure , inter alia , that Eurosystem reserve management services are provided on a standardised basis under harmonised terms and conditions , that the ECB receives adequate information regarding these services , and that minimum common features required in contractual arrangements with customers are identified .
