   WHEREAS:

               (1)

               The European Council in Copenhagen in December 2002 confirmed the European perspective of the countries of the western Balkans, as potential candidates, and underlined its determination to support their efforts to move closer to the European Union.

               (2)

               The European Council in Thessaloniki in June 2003 acknowledged that the Stabilisation and Association Process will remain the framework for the European course of the western Balkan countries all the way to their future accession and endorsed ‘The Thessaloniki Agenda for the western Balkans: moving towards European integration’, which aims to further strengthen the privileged relations between the EU and the western Balkans drawing on the enlargement experience.

               (3)

               The Thessaloniki Agenda invited the western Balkan countries to participate in Community programmes and agencies in line with the principles laid down for participation by the candidate countries, aiming to familiarise the countries concerned and their people with the policies and working methods of the EU, thus anchoring them more firmly to the EU and encouraging them on the path towards European integration.

               Serbia and Montenegro has expressed its wish to participate in a number of Community programmes.

         DECISION OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK
   of 19 December 2012
   on temporary measures relating to the eligibility of marketable debt instruments issued or fully guaranteed by the Hellenic Republic
   (ECB/2012/32)
   (2012/839/EU)
   THE GOVERNING COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular the first indent of Article 127(2) thereof,
   Having regard to the Statute of the European System of Central Banks and of the European Central Bank, and in particular the first indent of Article 3.1, Article 12.1, Article 18 and the second indent of Article 34.1,
   Having regard to Guideline ECB/2011/14 of 20 September 2011 on monetary policy instruments and procedures of the Eurosystem (1), and in particular Section 1.6 and Sections 6.3.1, 6.3.2 and 6.4.2 of Annex I thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Pursuant to Article 18.1 of the Statute of the European System of Central Banks and of the European Central Bank, the European Central Bank (ECB) and the national central banks of Member States whose currency is the euro (NCBs) may conduct credit operations with credit institutions and other market participants, with lending being based on adequate collateral. The criteria determining the eligibility of collateral for the purposes of Eurosystem monetary policy operations are laid down in Annex I to Guideline ECB/2011/14.

               (2)

               Pursuant to Section 1.6 of Annex I to Guideline ECB/2011/14, the Governing Council may, at any time, change the instruments, conditions, criteria and procedures for the execution of Eurosystem monetary policy operations. Pursuant to Section 6.3.1 of Annex I to Guideline ECB/2011/14, the Eurosystem reserves the right to determine whether an issue, issuer, debtor or guarantor fulfils its requirements for high standards on the basis of any information it may consider relevant.

               (3)

               Decision ECB/2012/3 of 5 March 2012 on the eligibility of marketable debt instruments issued or fully guaranteed by the Hellenic Republic in the context of the Hellenic Republic’s debt exchange offer (2) temporarily suspended the Eurosystem’s minimum requirements for credit quality thresholds applicable to marketable debt instruments issued or fully guaranteed by the Hellenic Republic, declaring them eligible for the duration of the collateral enhancement provided by the Hellenic Republic to the NCBs. On termination of the collateral enhancement, given that the adequacy as collateral of marketable debt instruments issued or fully guaranteed by the Hellenic Republic was at the time not ensured, the Governing Council adopted Decision ECB/2012/14 (3) repealing Decision ECB/2012/3 with effect from 25 July 2012, thereby making such instruments ineligible.

               (4)

               The Governing Council has now taken into consideration the positive assessment by the Eurogroup of the policy package for the first review of the Second Economic Adjustment Programme for Greece.

               (5)

               The Governing Council considers this policy package to be appropriate, so that the marketable debt instruments issued or fully guaranteed by the Hellenic Republic have a quality standard sufficient to warrant their eligibility as collateral for Eurosystem monetary policy operations, irrespective of any external credit assessment.

               (6)

               The Governing Council has therefore decided to restore the eligibility of marketable debt instruments issued or fully guaranteed by the Hellenic Republic for Eurosystem’s monetary policy operations, subject to applying specific haircuts to such instruments different from those provided for in Section 6.4.2 of Annex I to Guideline ECB/2011/14.

               (7)

               This exceptional measure will apply temporarily until the Governing Council considers that the normal application of the Eurosystem’s eligibility criteria and risk control framework for monetary policy operations can be reintroduced,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
   Article 1
   Suspension of certain provisions of Guideline ECB/2011/14 and eligibility of marketable debt instruments issued or fully guaranteed by the Hellenic Republic
   1.   The Eurosystem’s minimum requirements for credit quality, as specified in the Eurosystem credit assessment framework rules for certain marketable assets in Section 6.3.2 of Annex I to Guideline ECB/2011/14, shall be suspended for marketable debt instruments issued or fully guaranteed by the Hellenic Republic.
   2.   Marketable debt instruments issued or fully guaranteed by the Hellenic Republic shall constitute eligible collateral for the purposes of Eurosystem monetary policy operations, subject to the specific haircuts set out in the Annex to this Decision.
   3.   In the event of any discrepancy between this Decision and Guideline ECB/2011/14, this Decision shall prevail.
   Article 2
   Entry into force
   This Decision shall enter into force on 21 December 2012.
