Euro: denominations and technical specifications of euro coins intended for circulation

The Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs adopted the report by Hans-Peter MARTIN (NI, AT) on the proposal for a Council regulation amending Regulation (EC) No 975/98 on denominations and technical specifications of euro coins intended for circulation

The committee recommends that the European Parliament amend the Commission proposal such that, when new draft designs of euro coins are forwarded by the issuing Member State to the Commission for verification, the latter must inform the other Member States and the ECB of its findings within ten working days of such verification.
