"Since the introduction of the euro, a cohesive set of measures has been introduced to protect the single currency against counterfeiting, which includes legislative initiatives, technical tools and institutional changes, with the emphasis on close cooperation between all the agencies involved at national and European level. According to its recent reply () to my question, the Commission notes that the number of counterfeit coins is still extremely low, accounting for no more than 0.2 per thousand of all coins in circulation. Moreover, Article 3(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1338/2001 states that technical and statistical data relating to counterfeit notes and counterfeit coins discovered in the Member States shall be gathered and indexed by the competent national authorities. Despite all this, the present proposal for a regulation further strengthens the tools to combat counterfeiting by clarifying the procedures for establishing the authenticity of and managing euro coins which are unsuitable for circulation.
At the same time, provision is made for the application of joint procedures to establish authenticity and control mechanisms for those procedures by the national authorities. The proposals in question strengthen action against counterfeiting and that is why I voted in favour of the relevant provisions and the report as a whole."@en1
