MONETARY AGREEMENT

between the European Union and the Republic of San Marino

2012/C 121/02

THE EUROPEAN UNION,

and

THE REPUBLIC OF SAN MARINO,

Whereas:

(1) On 1 January 1999, the euro replaced the currency of each Member State participating in the third stage of Economic and Monetary Union, among which Italy, pursuant to Council Regulation (EC) No 974/98(1) of 3 May 1998.

(2) Before the introduction of the euro, Italy and the Republic of San Marino had concluded bilateral agreements on monetary matters, and lastly the

Convenzione monetaria tra la Repubblica Italiana e la Repubblica di San Marino

, concluded on 21 December 1991.

(3) The Declaration No 6 annexed to the Final Act of the Treaty on European Union stated that the Community should facilitate the renegotiation of existing arrangements with the Republic of San Marino as might become necessary as a result of the introduction of the single currency.

(4) The Italian Republic concluded on 29 November 2000, on behalf of the European Community, a Monetary Agreement with the Republic of San Marino(2).

(5) In accordance with this Monetary Agreement, the Republic of San Marino uses the euro as its official currency and grants legal tender status to euro banknotes and coins. It should ensure that European Union (EU) rules on banknotes and coins denominated in euro — including those related to its protection against counterfeiting — are applicable within its territory. The Republic of San Marino shall undertake all the necessary measures to combat counterfeiting and to cooperate with the European Commission, the European Central Bank (ECB) and Europol. Until a cooperation agreement between Europol and the Republic of San Marino is signed, the Republic of San Marino shall cooperate with Europol via the competent Italian authorities in this area.

(6) The Republic of San Marino should take particular account of the recommendations of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), notably FATF calls to its members and FATF-style regional body members to apply necessary countermeasures against identified high risk jurisdictions. The Republic of San Marino, which is represented in the Committee of Experts on the Evaluation of Anti-Money Laundering Measures and the Financing of Terrorism, takes duly account of the recommendations made or to be made in the Republic of San Marino mutual evaluation reports so as to enhance its response to money laundering threats.

(7) This Agreement does not impose any obligation on the ECB and national central banks to include the financial instruments of the Republic of San Marino in the list(s) of assets eligible for monetary policy operations of the European System of Central Banks.

(8) The Republic of San Marino has a banking sector which expects to operate in closer connection with that of the euro area. Relevant EU banking and financial legislation, legislation concerning the prevention of money laundering, the prevention of fraud and counterfeiting of non-cash means of payment and statistical reporting requirements should therefore be made progressively applicable to the Republic of San Marino with a view to ensuring a more level playing field.

(9) A Joint Committee composed of representatives of the Republic of San Marino, the Italian Republic, the Commission and the ECB should be established in order to examine the application of this Agreement, decide the annual ceiling for coin issuance and assess the measures taken by the Republic of San Marino for implementing relevant EU legislation.

(10) The Court of Justice of the European Union should be the judicial body in charge of settling any disputes which may arise from the application of the Agreement,

HAVE AGREED AS FOLLOWS:

Article 1

The Republic of San Marino shall be entitled to use the euro as its official currency in accordance with Council Regulation (EC) No 1103/97 of 17 June 1997 on certain provisions relating to the introduction of the euro(3) and Regulation (EC) No 974/98 of 3 May 1998 on the introduction of the euro. The Republic of San Marino shall grant legal tender status to euro banknotes and coins.

Article 2

The Republic of San Marino shall not issue any banknotes, coins or monetary surrogates of any kind unless the conditions for such issuance have been agreed with the European Union. The conditions for issuing euro coins as from the entry into force of this Agreement are laid down in the following articles.

Article 3

The annual ceiling (in value terms) for the issuance of euro coins by the Republic of San Marino shall be calculated by the Joint Committee established by the present Agreement as the sum of:

— a fixed part, whose initial amount for the first year following the entry into force of this Agreement is set at EUR 2 600 000. The Joint Committee may revise annually the fixed part with a view to taking into account both inflation — on the basis of the HICP inflation of Italy in the last 12 months for which the data are available at the moment of the calculation — and the possible significant trends affecting the euro coins collector market,

— a variable part, corresponding to the average per capita coin issuance of the Italian Republic in the last 12 months for which the data are available multiplied by the number of inhabitants of San Marino.

Article 4

1. Euro coins issued by the Republic of San Marino shall be identical to those issued by the Member States of the European Union which have adopted the euro as far as the face value, legal tender status, technical characteristics, artistic features of the common side and shared artistic features of the national side are concerned.

2. The Republic of San Marino shall notify in advance the draft national sides of its euro coins to the European Commission, which shall check their compliance with the EU rules.

3. At least 70 % of euro coins intended for circulation shall be put into circulation at face value as of the year following the entry into force of this Agreement. This proportion shall reach 80 % after three years. Thereafter, the Joint Committee will regularly review the adequacy of this proportion.

4. The Republic of San Marino may issue euro collector coins. They shall be included in the annual ceiling referred to in Article 3. The issuance of euro collector coins by the Republic of San Marino shall be in accordance with the European Union guidelines laid down for euro collector coins, which, inter alia, require the adoption of technical characteristics, artistic features and denominations that enable euro collector coins to be distinguished from coins intended for circulation.

Article 6

1. The volume of euro coins issued by the Republic of San Marino shall be added to the volume of coins issued by Italy for the purposes of European Central Bank approval of the total volume of the issue by the Italian Republic in accordance with Article 128(2) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union.

2. No later than 1 September each year, the Republic of San Marino shall notify the European Commission and the Italian Republic of the volume and the face value of the euro coins that it intends to issue during the following year.

(d) the measures necessary for the use of the euro as a single currency adopted under Article 133 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union.

2. The legal acts and rules referred to in paragraph 1 shall be implemented by the Republic of San Marino in accordance with the deadlines specified in the Annex, which run as of the entry into force of this Agreement.
