THE GOVERNING COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK,

Having regard to the Statute of the European System of Central Banks and of the European Central Bank, and in particular to Article 26.2 thereof,

Whereas:

(1) Decision ECB/2002/11 of 5 December 2002 on the annual accounts of the European Central Bank (ECB) requires significant amendment. From 1 January 2007 the European System of Central Banks (ESCB) will use the economic approach as defined in Guideline ECB/2006/16 of 10 November 2006 on the legal framework for accounting and financial reporting in the European System of Central Banks to record foreign exchange transactions, financial instruments denominated in foreign currency and related accruals. It is desirable for reasons of clarity to recast the Decision in a single text.

(2) Decisions ECB/2002/11, ECB/2005/12 and ECB/2006/3 which are replaced by this Decision should be repealed,

HAS DECIDED AS FOLLOWS:

CHAPTER I GENERAL PROVISIONS

Taking into due consideration the nature of the ECB's activities, the Governing Council may establish a provision for foreign exchange rate, interest rate and gold price risks in the balance sheet of the ECB.

2.
