(2) The European Central Bank (ECB) has revised its disclosure policy for securities transactions with a view to enhance further the transparency of the ECB’s annual accounts. As part of the revised policy, securities that previously qualified as financial fixed assets should be reclassified from the balance sheet item ‘Other financial assets’ to the appropriate item under the heading ‘asset’ depending on the origin of the issuer, the currency denomination and on whether the securities are held-to-maturity. Moreover, all financial instruments that are part of an earmarked portfolio should be included under the item ‘Other financial assets’.
(3) Decision ECB/2006/17 does not contain specific rules on the accounting of forward interest rate swaps, foreign exchange futures and equity futures. Such instruments are increasingly used in the financial markets and may be relevant to the management of the ECB’s foreign reserves. While forward interest rate swaps should be accounted for in the same manner as ‘plain vanilla’ interest rate swaps, foreign exchange futures and equity futures should be accounted for in the same manner as interest rate futures,
Amendments
Decision ECB/2006/17 is amended as follows:
1. Article 8 is amended as follows:
(a) Paragraph 2 is replaced by the following:

Whereas:
(1) Directive 2002/56/EC provides that, with effect from certain dates, Member States may no longer determine for themselves the equivalence of seed potatoes harvested in third countries with seed potatoes harvested within the Community and complying with that Directive.

(3) In the absence of Community rules on the equivalence of seed potatoes harvested in third countries with seed potatoes harvested within the Community, the authorisation granted to Member States by Directive 2002/56/EC to extend the period of validity of equivalence decisions should be continued for a three year period.
(4) Directive 2002/56/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(5) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Seeds and Propagating Material for Agriculture, Horticulture and Forestry,
