Tuttavia, un prodotto trasformato del codice NC 0210 20 90 che (cid:138) stato essiccato o affumicato in modo tale da aver perso completamente il colore e la consistenza della carne fresca e con un rapporto acqua/proteine non superiore a 3,2 (cid:138) considerato un prodotto B. Articolo 4 1. Gli Stati membri predispongono un sistema di controlli fisici e documentali per garantire che tutta la carne venga trasformata conformemente alle disposizioni degli articoli 2 e 3. Il sistema deve prevedere controlli fisici quantitativi e qualitativi all’inizio, durante e dopo le operazioni di trasformazione. A tal fine i trasformatori debbono essere in grado di dimostrare, in qualsiasi momento, l’identit(cid:133) e l’impiego delle carni mediante un’adeguata contabilit(cid:133) di produzione. Nell’ambito della verifica tecnica del metodo di produ- zione da parte dell’autorit(cid:133) competente pu(cid:149) essere ammessa, se necessario, una certa tolleranza per le perdite da essudazione e le rifilature. Per poter verificare la qualit(cid:133) del prodotto finito e stabilire la corrispondenza con la ricetta del trasformatore, gli Stati membri effettuano prelievi di campioni rappresentativi e analisi su questi prodotti. I costi di queste operazioni sono a carico del trasformatore. 2. Su richiesta del trasformatore, lo Stato membro pu(cid:149) autorizzare il disossamento dei quarti anteriori non disos- sati in uno stabilimento diverso da quello previsto per la trasformazione, a condizione che le operazioni attinenti siano effettuate nello stesso Stato membro sotto idoneo controllo. 3. Non si applica l’articolo 1 del regolamento (CEE) n. 2182/77. Articolo 5 1. L’importo della cauzione di cui all’articolo 15, para- grafo 1, del regolamento (CEE) n. 2173/79 (cid:138) fissato a 12 ECU/100 kg.

Any agreement with third countries concerning monetary or foreign exchange rate matters needs to reflect this allocation of competence. Therefore, the Community must decide on the future of such agreements which exist between Member States adopting the euro and third countries. For this purpose, the Commission is presenting a draft Council Decision which is addressed to France and which defines the position to be taken in the negotiation of a new agreement between the Community and the Principality of Monaco. I. General considerations France has particular monetary links with the Principality of Monaco, which are based on different legal instruments1 and which ensure that banknotes and coins issued by France have legal tender status in the Principality of Monaco. Coins issued by the Principality of Monaco have legal tender status in the Principality of Monaco only. The Principality of Monaco has neither an own currency nor a central bank. Financial institutions located in the Principality of Monaco have access to the refinancing facilities of the Banque de France, which they have not used in the past and to some French payment systems under the same conditions as French banks. On the other hand they are subject to the same minimum reserve and statistical reporting requirements as French banks. Moreover, they are subject to the same conditions with regard to the granting of a banking license and are supervised by the competent French authorities. As from 1 January 1999, France will adopt the euro as its currency. In accordance with the Treaty, the European System of Central Banks will define and implement the 1 Ordonnance monégasque fixant le cours forcé des monnaies et billets du 2 janvier 1925; Convention franco-monégasque relative au contrôle des changes, 14 avril 1945 ; Echange de lettres entre la France et Monaco du 18 mai 1963 relatif à la réglementation bancaire dans la Principauté, as amended by the Echange de lettres du 27 novembre 1987 le cours légal et ls monetary policy of the Community. Therefore a new agreement needs to be concluded between the Community and the Principality of Monaco. The draft Council decision determines the principles on which the negotiations with the Principality of Monaco should be based. The Commission recommends that the Community allows the Principality of Monaco to use the euro as its official currency and to grant legal tender status to euro banknotes issued by the European System of Central Banks and to euro coins issued by the Member States which have adopted the euro. Moreover, financial institutions located in the Principality of Monaco may be granted access to the payment systems offered by the ESCB under conditions to be determined by the ECB. On the other hand, the Principality of Monaco is expected to undertake not to issue any banknotes, coins or monetary surrogates of any kind unless the conditions for such issuance are agreed with the Community. Moreover, the Principality of Monaco is expected to make Community rules on euro banknotes and coins applicable in the Principality of Monaco and to cooperate closely with the Community with regard to measures against counterfeiting of euro banknotes and coins. The draft Council decision is based on Article 109 (3) of the Treaty, which stipulates that "By way of derogation from Article 228, where agreements concerning monetary or foreign exchange regime matters need to be negotiated by the Community with one or more States or international organizations, the Council, acting by a qualified majority, on a recommendation from the Commission and after consulting the ECB, shall decide the arrangements for the negotiations and for the conclusion of such agreements. " Given the close historical links between France and the Principality of Monaco, the Commission recommends that France negotiates and concludes the new agreement on behalf of the Community. In accordance with Article 109 (3) of the Treaty, the Commission will be fully associated with the negotiations. The Commission recommends that the European Central Bank is fully associated with the negotiations in its fields of competence. The draft agreement will have to be submitted to the Economic and Financial Committee for opinion. The draft agreement will have to be submitted to the Council in the case that the Commission or the European Central Bank or the Economic and Financial Committee are of the opinion that this is necessary. II. Comments on the articles Article 1 This article reflects the fact that the agreements between France and the Principality of Monaco in their present form are not compatible with the allocation of competence for monetary and exchange rate matters as laid down in the Treaty. The arrangements therefore need to be amended or replaced at the earliest possible date. France is requested to give notice to the Principality of Monaco with a view to amend the agreements at the earliest date which is possible under trie existing agreements. 3 Article 2 Article 2 stipulates that the principles laid down in Articles 3 to 6 should form the basis for the position to be taken by France on behalf of the Community in the negotiations with the Principality of Monaco on an agreement concerning monetary matters. Article 3 Article 3 stipulates that the Community may allow the Principality of Monaco to use the euro as its official currency and to grant legal tender status to euro banknotes issued by the European System of Central Banks and to euro coins issued by the Member States which have adopted the euro. This would ensure that the Principality of Monaco and France could continue to have the same currency, i. e. the euro, and that banknotes and coins which have legal tender status in France, would have the same status in the Principality of Monaco. Article 4 Article 4 stipulates that the Principality of Monaco is expected to undertake not to issue any banknotes, coins or monetary surrogates unless the issuance is expressly foreseen in the agreement. This applies not only to banknotes, coins or other monetary surrogates denominated in euro but to all kind of banknotes, coins and monetary surrogates independent of their denomination. Article 5 The purpose of the first paragraph is to ensure that Community rules on euro banknotes and coins such as those on the enforcement of copyright, the exchange of damaged banknotes z?A the reproduction of banknotes and coins, are respected in the Principality of Monaco. The second paragraph stipulates that the Principality of Monaco is expected to undertake to co-operate closely with the Community in the protection euro banknotes and coins against counterfeiting. This concerns, inter alia, the exchange of technical and statistical data concerning counterfeited banknotes and coins and the exchange of operational and strategic information between the competent authorities. - The Principality of Monaco is expected to ensure adequate sanctions against counterfeiting and falsification of euro banknotes and coins. Article 6 Article 6 stipulates that, the Community may allow financial institutions located in the Principality of Monaco to have access to some or all French national payment systems under conditions to be determined with the agreement of the European Central Bank. This provisions is not meant to allow the imposition of an obligation on the ESCB to grant access ?. o the ESCB payment systems. Such access can only be granted if the ECB agrees. Article 7 and 8 Article 7 and 8 stipulate that France shall conduct the negotiations with the Principality of Monaco and conclude the agreement on behalf of the Community. The Council makes thereby use of it competence to define the arrangements for the negotiations and for the conclusion of agreements concerning monetary or foreign exchange regime matters. In accordance with Article 109 (3) of the Treaty, it is recalled that the Commission shall be fully associated with the negotiations. Given the relevance of most of the aspects of this agreement for the European Central Bank, the European Central Bank shall be fully associated with the negotiations in its fields of competence. Before the conclusion of the agreement, France shall submit the draft agreement to the Economic and Financial Committee for opinion. If the Commission or the European Central Bank, which have been fully associated to the negotiations or the Economic and Financial Committee are of the opinion that the agreement should be submitted to the Council, the conclusion of the agreement has to wait for the Council to take a decision in accordance with Article 109 (3) of the Treaty. Article 9 Article 9 reflects the requirement that any persisting bilateral agreements between France and the Principality of Monaco have to be compatible not only with the allocation of competence for monetary and exchange rate matters as laid down in the Treaty, but also with the new agreement between the Community and the Principality of Monaco concerning their monetary relations. Article 10 This article clarifies that the decision is addressed to France. It will be effective as soon as it is notified to France. f Recommendation for a Council Decision [ ] of. on the position to be taken by the Community regarding an agreement concerning the monetary relations with the Principality of Monaco 93/ 0365(CNB) The Council of the European Union, Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 109 (3) thereof, Having regard to the recommendation from the Commission, Having regard to the opinion of the European Central Bank, (1) Whereas according to Council regulation (EC) No 974/98 of 3 May 19981 the euro will be substituted as from 1 January 1999 for the currency of each participating Member State at the conversion rate;

Article 10 Done at Brussels, For the Council The President A o Recommendation for a Council Decision on the position to be taken by the Community regarding an agreement concerning the monetary relations with the Republic of San Marino EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM As from 1 January 1999, the Community will have the exclusive competence for monetary and exchange rate matters in the Member States adopting the euro. Any agreement with third countries concerning monetary or foreign exchange rate matters needs to reflect this allocation of competence. Therefore, the Community must decide on the future of such agreements which exist between Member States adopting the euro and third countries. For this purpose, the Commission is presenting a draft Council Decision which is addressed to Italy and which defines the position to be taken in the negotiation of a new agreement between the Community and the Republic of San Marino. I. General considerations Italy has concluded several agreements with the Republic of San Marino which include provisions on monetary matters' and which ensure that banknotes and coins issued by Italy have legal tender status in the Republic of San, Marino. Coins issued by the Republic of San Marino, in a material other than gold, are identical in shape, dimension and composition to those circulating in Italy. The issuing volume of these coins, which have legal tender status in the Republic of San Marino and in Italy is limited by the agreements. The Republic of San Marino has undertaken not to issue any other coins, banknotes or monetary surrogates. The Republic of San Marino has neither an own currency nor a central bank, even though the Istituto di Credito Sammarinese performs some functions similar to those of a central bank. Financial institutions located in the Republic of San Marino do not have access to the refinancing facilities of the Banca d'Italia. On the other hand, one financial institution located in the Republic of San Marino has access to the Italian RTGS system. There is no formal relationship between the Banca d'Italia and the Istituto di Credito Sammarinese. 1 Convenzione di amicizia e di buon vicinato fra San Marino e L'ltalia del 31 marzo 1939, as amended, Convenzione monetaria tra la Repubblica Italiana e la Repubblica di San Marino, 21-X1I-1991; Convenzione in materia di rapporti finanziari e valutari tra la Repubblica Italiana e la Repubblica di San Marino con atto aggiuntivo corredato da Processo Verbale fïrmato a Roma il 4 marzo 1994. M As from 1 January 1999, Italy will adopt the euro as its currency. In accordance with the Treaty, the European System of Central Banks will define and implement the monetary policy of the Community. Therefore a new agreement needs to be concluded between the Community and the Republic of San Marino. The draft Council decision determines the principles on which the negotiations with the Republic of San Marino should be based. The Commission recommends that the Community allows the Republic of San Marino to use the euro as its official currency and to grant legal tender status to euro banknotes issued by the European System of Central Banks and to euro coins issued by the Member States which have adopted the euro. Moreover, financial institutions located in the Republic of San Marino may be granted access to the payment systems offered by the ESCB under conditions to be determined by the ECB. On the other hand, the Republic of San Marino is expected to undertake not to issue any banknotes, coins or monetary surrogates of any kind unless the conditions for such issuance are agreed with the Community. Moreover, the Republic of San Marino is expected to make Community rules on euro banknotes and coins applicable in the Republic of San Marino and to cooperate closely with the Community with regard to measures against counterfeiting of euro banknotes and coins. It is confirmed that Italy may choose to issue coins with a specific symbol relating to the Republic of San Marino. The draft Council decision is based on Article 109 (3) of the Treaty, which stipulates that "By way of derogation from Article 228, where agreements concerning monetary or foreign exchange regime matters need to be negotiated by the Community with one or more States or international organizations, the Council, acting by a qualified majority, on a recommendation from the Commission and after consulting the ECB, shall decide the arrangements for the negotiations and for the conclusion of such agreements. " Given the close historical links between Italy and the Republic of San Marino, the Commission recommends that Italy negotiates and concludes the new agreement on behalf of the Community. In accordance with Article 109 (3) of the Treaty, the the negotiations. The Commission Commission will be fully associated with recommends that the European Central Bank is fully associated with the negotiations in its fields of competence. The draft agreement will have to be submitted to the Economic and Financial Committee for opinion. The draft agreement will have to be submitted to the Economic and Financial Committee for opinion. The draft agreement will have to be submitted to the Council in the case that the Commission or the European Central Bank or the Economic and Financial Committee are of the opinion that this is necessary. II. Comments on the articles Article 1 This article reflects the fact that the agreements between Italy and the Republic of San Marino in their present form are not compatible with the allocation of competence for monetary and exchange rate matters as laid down in the Treaty. The arrangements therefore need to be amended or replaced at the earliest possible date. Italy is requested to /Il give notice to the Republic of San Marino with a view to amend the agreements at the earliest date which is possible under the existing agreements. Article 2 Article 2 stipulates that the principles laid down in Articles 3 to 6 should form the basis for the position to be taken by Italy on behalf of the Community in the negotiations with the Republic of San Marino on an agreement concerning monetary matters. Article 3 Article 3 stipulates that the Community may allow the Republic of San Marino to use the euro as its official currency and to grant legal tender status to euro banknotes issued by the European System of Central Banks and to euro coins issued by the Member States which have adopted the euro. This would ensure that the Republic of San Marino and Italy could continue tc have the same currency, i. e. the euro, and that banknotes and coins which have legal tender status in Italy, would have the same status in the Republic of San Marino. Article 4 Article 4 stipulates that the Republic of San Marino is expected to undertake not to issue any banknotes, coins or monetary surrogates unless the issuance is expressly foreseen in the agreement.

Article 10 Done at Brussels, For the Council The President G / Recommendation for a Council Decision on the position to be taken by the Community regarding an agreement concerning the monetary relations with Vatican City EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM As from 1 January 1999, the Community will have the exclusive competence for monetary and exchange rate matters in the Member States adopting the euro. Any agreement with third countries concerning monetary or foreign exchange rate matters needs to reflect this allocation of competence. Therefore, the Community must decide on the future of such agreements which exist between Member States adopting the euro and third countries. For this purpose, the Commission is presenting a draft Council Decision which is addressed to Italy and which defines the position to be taken in the negotiation of a new agreement between the Community and Vatican City. I. General considerations Italy has particular monetary links with the Vatican City, which are based on a monetary convention1 which ensures that coins issued by Italy have legal tender status in Vatican City. Banknotes issued by the Banca dTtalia do not have the status of legal tender but circulate de facto within the territory of Vatican City. Coins issued by Vatican City, in a material other than gold, are identical in shape, dimension and composition to those circulating in Italy. The issuing volume of these coins, which have legal tender status in Vatican City and in Italy, is limited by the monetary convention. Vatican City has neither an own currency nor a central bank, Financial institutions located in Vatican City have neither access to the refinancing facilities of the Banca d'ltalia nor to the Italian RTGS system. They are not subject to any prudential supervision by Italian authorities. As from 1 January 1999, Italy will adopt the euro as its currency. In accordance with the Treaty, the European System of Central Banks will define and implement the monetary policy of the Community. Therefore a new agreement needs to be concluded between the Community and Vatican City. 1 Convenzione monetaria tra la Repubblica Italiana e lo Stato délia Città del Vaticano il 3 dicembre 1991 & The draft Council decision determines the principles on which the negotiations with Vatican City should be based. The Commission recommends that the Community allows Vatican City to use the euro as its official currency and to grant legal tender status to euro banknotes issued by the European System of Central Banks and to euro coins issued by the Member States which have adopted the euro. Moreover, financial institutions located in Vatican City may be granted access to the payment systems offered by the ESCB under conditions to be determined by the ECB. On the other hand, Vatican City is expected to undertake not to issue any banknotes, coins or monetary surrogates of any kind unless the conditions for such issuance are agreed with the Community. Moreover, Vatican City is expected to make Community rules on euro banknotes and coins applicable in Vatican City and to cooperate closely with the Community with regard to measures against counterfeiting of euro banknotes and coins. It is confirmed that Italy may choose to issue coins with a specific symbol relating to Vatican City. The draft Council decision is based on Article 109 (3) of the Treaty, which stipulates that "By way of derogation from Article 228, where agreements concerning monetary or foreign exchange regime matters need to be negotiated by the Community with one or more States or international organizations, the Council, acting by a qualified majority, on a recommendation from the Commission and after consulting the ECB, shall decide the arrangements for the negotiations and for the conclusion of such agreements. " Given the close historical links between Italy and Vatican City, the Commission recommends that Italy negotiates and concludes the new agreement on behalf of the Community. In accordance with Article 109 (3) of the Treaty, the Commission will be fully associated with the negotiations. The Commission recommends that the European Central Bank is associated with the negotiations in its fields of competence. The draft agreement will have to be submitted to the Economic and Financial Committee for opinion. The draft agreement will have to be submitted to the Economic and Financial Committee for opinion. The draft agreement will have to be submitted to the Council in the case that the Commission or the European Central Bank or the Economic and Financial Committee are of the opinion that this is necessary. II. Comments on the articles Article 1 This article reflects the fact that the agreements between Italy and Vatican City in their present form are not compatible with the allocation of competence for monetary and exchange rate matters as laid down in the Treaty. The arrangements therefore need to be amended or replaced at the earliest possible date. Italy is requested to give notice to Vatican City with a view to amend the agreements at the earliest date which is possible under the existing agreements. u Article 2 Article 2 stipulates that the principles laid down in Articles 3 to 6 should form the basis for the position to be taken by Italy on behalf of the Community in the negotiations with Vatican City on an agreement concerning monetary matters. Article 3 Article 3 stipulates that the Community may allow Vatican City to use the euro as its official currency and to grant legal tender status to euro banknotes issued by the European System of Central Banks and to euro coins issued by the Member States which have adopted the euro. This would ensure that Vatican City and Italy could continue to have the same currency, i. e. the euro, and that banknotes and coins which have legal tender status in Italy, would have the same status in Vatican City. Article 4 Article 4 stipulates that Vatican City is expected to undertake not to issue any banknotes, coins or monetary surrogates unless the issuance is expressly foreseen in the agreement. This applies not only to banknotes, coins or other monetary surrogates denominated in euro but to all kind of banknotes, coins and monetary surrogates independent of their denomination. Article 5 The purpose of the first paragraph is to ensure that Community rules on euro banknotes and coins such as those on the enforcement of copyright, the exchange of damaged banknotes and the reproduction of banknotes and coins, are respected in Vatican City. The second paragraph stipulates that Vatican City is expected to undertake to co-operate closely with the Community in the protection euro banknotes and coins against counterfeiting. This concerns, inter alia, the exchange of technical and statistical data concerning counterfeited banknotes and coins and the exchange of operational and strategic information between the competent authorities. Vatican City is expected to ensure adequate sanctions against counterfeiting and falsification of euro banknotes and coins. Article 6 Article 6 stipulates that the Community may allow financial institutions located in Vatican City to have access to the Italian national RTGS system2 under conditions to be determined by the European Central Bank. This provisions is not meant to allow the imposition of an obligation on the ESCB to grant access to the ESCB payment systems. 2 Real-Time Gross Settlement System It Such access to the Italian national RTGS system can only be granted if the ECB agrees and under the conditions specified by the ECB. I* Article 7 and 8 Article 7 and 8 stipulate that Italy shall conduct the negotiations with Vatican City and conclude the agreement on behalf of the Community. The Council makes thereby use of it competence to define the arrangements for the negotiations and for the conclusion of agreements concerning monetary or foreign exchange regime matters. In accordance with Article 109 (3) of the Treaty, it is recalled that the Commission shall be fully associated with the negotiations.

Article 9 Article 9 reflects the requirement that any persisting bilateral agreements between Italy and Vatican City have to be compatible not only with the allocation of competence for monetary and exchange rate matters as laid down in the Treaty, but also with the new agreement between the Community and Vatican City concerning their monetary relations.
