Having regard to the contribution of the General Council of the European Central Bank (ECB) pursuant to the second and third indents of Article 47.2 of the Statute of the ESCB,

(3) There is a need to specify the accounting treatment of outstanding claims arising from defaults by Eurosystem counterparties in the context of Eurosystem credit operations and of related assets, as well as the accounting treatment of provisions for counterparty risks arising from such operations.

(4) Some further technical changes to Guideline ECB/2006/16 of 10 November 2006 on the legal framework for accounting and financial reporting in the European System of Central Banks are required.

(5) Guideline ECB/2006/16 needs to be amended accordingly,

Revaluation shall take place on a currency-by-currency basis for foreign exchange, including on-balance-sheet and off-balance-sheet transactions, and on a code-by-code basis i.e. same ISIN number/type for securities, except for those securities included in the items Other financial assets or Sundry, or securities held for monetary policy purposes, which shall be treated as separate holdings. (a) Paragraph 3 is replaced by the following: (i) if the quantity sold is considered not significant in comparison with the total amount of the held-to-maturity securities portfolio; or (ii) if the securities are sold during the month of the maturity date; or (iii) under exceptional circumstances, such as a significant deterioration of the issuer’s creditworthiness, or following an explicit monetary policy decision of the Governing Council of the ECB.
