COMMISSION DECISION (EU) 2017/1507

of 28 August 2017

amending Decision 2005/37/EC establishing the European Technical and Scientific Centre (ETSC) and providing for coordination of technical actions to protect euro coins against counterfeiting

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Article 1 of Council Decision 2003/861/EC of 8 December 2003 concerning analysis and cooperation with regard to counterfeit euro coins (1),

Having regard to Council Decision 2003/862/EC of 8 December 2003 extending the effects of Decision 2003/861/EC concerning analysis and cooperation with regard to counterfeit euro coins to those Member States which have not adopted the euro as their single currency (2),

Whereas:

 

(1)

The European Technical and Scientific Centre (ETSC) provides coordination for technical actions of the competent national authorities to protect euro coins against counterfeiting. ETSC was established within the Commission, attached to the European Anti-Fraud Office (OLAF), by Commission Decision 2005/37/EC (3).
 

(2)

In 2014, the Commission decided to reorganise its services and to transfer the tasks related to the preparation of legislative and regulatory initiatives of the Commission with the objective of the protection of the euro against counterfeiting, and of support in that area through training and technical assistance from OLAF to the Directorate-General for Economic and Financial Affairs (DG ECFIN). Commission Decision 1999/352/EC, ECSC, Euratom (4) was amended to reflect that change.
 

(3)

Since the adoption of Decision 2005/37/EC, a number of additional legal acts have been adopted which allocate tasks to the ETSC. Thus, the ETSC fulfils obligations under Regulation (EU) No 1210/2010 of the European Parliament and of the Council (5), Council Regulation (EC) No 2182/2004 (6) and Council Regulation (EC) No 2183/2004 (7), and contributes to the fulfilment of the objectives of the ‘Pericles 2020’ programme pursuant to Regulation (EU) No 331/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council (8) and Council Regulation (EU) 2015/768 (9). Those tasks should be added to the tasks expressly mentioned in Decision 2005/37/EC.
 

(4)

Commission Decision 2005/37/EC should therefore be amended accordingly,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
