  • 13849/1/1998 summary

    The Council Common Position is identical to the Commission proposal. The only amendment voted by the European Parliament at first reading suggests the introduction of a gold coin intended for circulation with a face value of 100 euro. The Council did not include this amendment in its Common Position on grounds relating to the very likely discrepancy between market value and nominal value, to the risk of speculative hoarding and the already planned issue of a 100 euro banknote.�

• 1998/11/18 Decision by Parliament, 1st reading/single reading
  • T4-0664/1998 summary

    In adopting the report by Mrs Irene SOLTWEDEL-SCHÄFER (Greens, D) Parliament approved the Commission proposal amending the technical specifications of euro coins. The three amendments proposed (increase in the weight of the 50 cent coin, modifying the definition of the edge of the 50 and 10 cent coins) deal with the objections raised by the European Vending Association and the European Blind Union. Parliament, in retabling an amendment which it had already tabled at the second reading of the initial proposal on euro coins, called for the striking of a new symbolic coin in gold with a nominal value of 100 euro, in addition to the eight normal coins. �
