2 Background: counterfeiting statistics By Quantity (pcs) By Quality (FSI) 250, , , , , Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q By Value ( ) By Average Face Value ( ) 12,000, ,000, ,000, ,000, ,000, ,000, Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q
3 Background: genuine note statistics 3
4 National comparison FR IT ES NL DE BE AT Most commonly occurring counterfeit Highest commonly dispensed ATM note For the 7 countries with the highest quantity of counterfeits the most commonly recovered counterfeit denomination is the same as the most commonly dispensed ATM note It is professional cash handlers, not the public, that are in the front line of the attack by counterfeiters 4
5 Banknote Recycling Framework Published by ECB in Dec 2004 following CR 1338/2001 Started to be implemented by NCBs in 2005 Main obligations: Banks/other professional cash handlers may re-circulate euro banknotes only if these banknotes have been checked for authenticity and fitness Euro banknotes re-circulated via ATMs/other customeroperated devices shall be checked on banknote handling machines successfully tested by an Eurosystem NCB Euro banknotes re-circulated over the counter may be checked by trained staff or by successfully tested banknote handling machines 5
6 Banknote Recycling Framework Machine testing: ECB publishes all machine types successfully tested and, hence, suitable for checking purposes Manufacturers have to submit their machine types for initial and annual (re-)tests to a Eurosystem NCB Monitoring of banks/other professional cash handlers: Data reporting to Eurosystem NCBs (master/operational data) On-site inspections by Eurosystem NCBs at banks/professional cash handlers to audit machines BRF compliance and related working procedures 6
7 Status of BRF Implementation BRF converted by Eurosystem NCBs into national arrangements Different approaches to the conversion: Legal acts, together with contracts to be obligatorily concluded with NCB (e.g. FR) Binding NCB instructions (e.g. GR, IT, SI) Contractual arrangements between NCB and banks (e.g. DE, IE) Professional cash handlers have to adapt existing banknote handling machines and related working procedures (including data reporting to NCB) during transitional period, which has been extended for 6 Member States AT BE CY DE ES FI FR GR IE IT LU MT NL PT SI SK
8 Amendment of Regulation 1338/2001 European Council adopted Regulation 44/2009 (45/2009) amending Regulation 1338/2001 (1339/2001) to oblige credit institutions, and other institutions referred to in Article 6 to check euro banknotes and coins for authenticity before putting them back into circulation In particular, Article 6 prescribes: Any euro banknotes/coins intended for re-circulation shall be checked for authenticity and counterfeits removed Verification of euro banknotes shall be carried out in line with the procedures of the ECB (an explicit reference to the BRF) Extension of addressees: payment service providers other economic agents (e.g. traders, casinos) supplying banknotes to the public via ATMs (cash dispensers) 8
9 Implications Authenticity checks of euro banknotes also mandatory for non euro area Member States: verification either by trained staff, or by a machine for handling banknotes published by the ECB Member States shall adopt the laws, regulations and administrative provisions for applying the amendments to Article 6 by 31 December 2011 at the latest. Under Art. 6(3) the ECB is empowered to fix another date Preamble of the amending Regulation, for euro area Member States, refers also to suitability for circulation (fitness) 9
10 Next steps Since the BRF is explicitly referred to in Art. 6, the ECB is taking the opportunity to lay down its rules and procedures in a legal act (ECB Decision) This ECB Decision: is addressed to those institutions defined in Art. 6 will make the procedures directly applicable to cash handlers will contain certain clarifications, e.g. for teller assistant recycling machines, self-check-out terminals, statistics will be published/enter into force Q (plan) 10
11 Cash Handler Survey cash handlers were interviewed from all 16 eurozone countries Focus was on knowledge of security features and effectiveness of training measures Cash handlers working in 5 different sectors: Supermarkets and big shops Food retail Non-food retail Eating / drinking places (hotels/restaurants/cafes) Financial services (e.g. banking) Fieldwork conducted August and September
