Details

Following the Council’s request to the European Central Bank for an opinion on this proposal, the ECB made two specific observations:

- it suggested that the title of the proposed regulation be amended to reflect better the subject matter of the two obsolete regulations that are to be repealed, since both regulations relate to the functioning of the EMS rather than to the broader area of monetary policy;

- under Article 253 of the Treaty, regulations adopted by the Council must refer to any opinions which were required to be obtained pursuant to the Treaty. The ECB therefore suggests that the citations to the proposed regulation should therefore refer to this opinion.

The ECB enclosed drafting proposals in the annex to its opinion.

PURPOSE : to repeal Council Regulation 3181/78/EEC and Council Regulation 1736/79/EEC in the area of Monetary Policy.

PROPOSED ACT : Council Regulation

CONTENT : Council Regulation 3181/78/EEC relating to the European monetary system gives the European Monetary Co-operation Fund (EMCF) the power to receive reserves from Member States and to issue ECUs. The tasks of EMCF were taken over by EMI and subsequently ECB and the EMCF was dissolved. Therefore, this Regulation is not relevant anymore.

Council Regulation 1736/79/EEC on interest subsidies for certain loans granted under the European monetary system states that the Community should during a five-year period from its date of application, grant interest subsidies on certaintypes of loans (EIB loans to finance investments in less prosperous Member States, inter alia in infrastructure). This time period of five years, which was not extended, has come to an end in 1984. Furthermore, according to Article 1 of this Regulation, a Member State had to participate in the Exchange rate mechanisms of the European monetary system to benefit from the subsidies. This condition suggests also that the Regulation is no longer applicable. Those NIC loans granted by the EIB which benefited from this interest subsidy have in the meantime been repaid. Therefore, this Regulation is not relevant anymore.

Accordingly, Council Regulations 3181/78/EEC and 1736/79/EEC have become obsolete and should be proposed for abrogation.
