   Having regard to the Statute of the European System of Central Banks and of the European Central Bank, and in particular to Article 26.2 thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Decision ECB/2009/16 of 2 July 2009 on the implementation of the covered bond purchase programme (1) provides for the establishment of a programme for the purchase of covered bonds.

               (2)

               There is a need to specify the accounting treatment of outstanding claims arising from defaults of Eurosystem counterparties in the context of Eurosystem credit operations and of related assets, as well as the accounting treatment of provisions for counterparty risks arising from such operations.

               (3)

               Some further technical changes to Decision ECB/2006/17 are required.

               Taking into due consideration the nature of the ECB’s activities, the Governing Council may establish a provision for foreign exchange rate, interest rate, credit and gold price risks in the balance sheet of the ECB. The Governing Council shall decide on the size and use of the provision on the basis of a reasoned estimate of the ECB’s risk exposures.’

               2.

               Article 8 is amended as follows:

                           (a)

                           Paragraph 3 is replaced by the following:
                           ‘3.   No distinction shall be made between price and currency revaluation differences for gold, but a single gold revaluation difference shall be accounted for, based on the euro price per defined unit of weight of gold derived from the euro/US dollar exchange rate on the quarterly revaluation date. Revaluation shall take place on a currency-by-currency basis for foreign exchange, including on-balance-sheet and off-balance-sheet transactions, and on a code-by-code basis i.e. same ISIN number/type for securities, except for those securities included in the items “Other financial assets” or “Sundry”, or securities held for monetary policy purposes, which shall be treated as separate holdings.’

                           ‘4.   Securities classified as held-to-maturity shall be treated as separate holdings, shall be valued at amortised costs and shall be subject to impairment. The same treatment shall apply to non-marketable securities. Securities classified as held-to-maturity may be sold before their maturity:

                                       (i)

                                       if the quantity sold is considered not significant in comparison with the total amount of the held-to-maturity securities portfolio; or

                                       (ii)

                                       if the securities are sold during the month of the maturity date; or

                                       (iii)

                                       under exceptional circumstances, such as a significant deterioration of the issuer’s creditworthiness, or following an explicit monetary policy decision of the Governing Council of the ECB.’

                              Depreciation is the systematic allocation of the depreciable amount of an asset over its useful life. The useful life is the period over which a fixed asset is expected to be available for use by the entity. Useful lives of individual material fixed assets may be reviewed on a systematic basis, if expectations differ from previous estimates. Major assets may comprise components with different useful lives. The lives of such components should be assessed individually.
                              The cost of intangible assets includes the price for the acquisition of the intangible asset. Other direct or indirect costs are to be expensed
