Mr President, we are in agreement with the Council’s decision to extend the duration of the Pericles programme. Extending the programme to Member States that are not in the euro zone is necessary and desirable. It is, after all, of huge importance that the trust in the euro should not be undermined by counterfeiting. There are two aspects that cause us to raise questions at the moment surrounding the euro.
The first of these is the use of the euro as legal tender in countries outside the euro zone. The euro is being widely accepted particularly in Montenegro and Turkey. Can Commissioner Kallas indicate in what way those countries are being involved in the programme in order to fight counterfeiting and the bringing into circulation of counterfeit euro coins? In 2004, the European Parliament adopted the report on medals and coins that resemble euro coins. There was a huge increase in fraud involving coins that resemble euro coins. Commissioner, could you say whether the Council’s regulation on this subject has had any impact?"@en1
