GUIDELINE OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK
of 31 May 2007
amending Guideline ECB/2004/15 on the statistical reporting requirements of the European Central Bank in the field of balance of payments and international investment position statistics, and the international reserves template
(ECB/2007/3)
(2007/426/EC)
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 Article 5.1 and 5.2 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) |
Due to changing needs resulting from economic and technical developments, it is necessary to regularly update the data requirements in Guideline ECB/2004/15 of 16 July 2004 on the statistical reporting requirements of the European Central Bank in the field of balance of payments and international investment position statistics, and the international reserves template (1), and to readjust the level of the breakdown required under that Guideline. |
(2) |
When further Member States adopt the euro, it will be necessary to compile back data for the euro area aggregate in its new composition, on balance of payments (including the seasonally adjusted current account) and international investment position statistics. Certain amendments to Guideline ECB/2004/15 are therefore required to cater for future enlargements of the euro area in respect of the provision of back data. The period for which such back data must be provided may be reassessed by 2010. |
(3) |
The Nationale Bank van België/Banque Nationale de Belgique is responsible for providing back data for both Belgium and Luxembourg prior to January 2002 and therefore can only provide joint back data for Belgium and Luxembourg prior to January 2002. |
(4) |
The availability of a functioning Centralised Securities Database (CSDB) of sufficient quality is essential for ensuring the smooth operation of security-by-security data collection systems and for fulfilling the target coverage referred to in Annex VI to Guideline ECB/2004/15 at the quality level specified in that Guideline. The Governing Council, having regard to any observations by the General Council, will assess, in the course of 2007 and afterwards if relevant, whether the quality (including coverage) of the securities information in the CSDB and the arrangements for data exchange with the Member States are sufficient to enable national central banks (NCBs), or other competent statistical authorities where relevant, to meet the quality standards specified in Guideline ECB/2004/15, |

1. |
The following text is inserted immediately before Section 1: ‘The terms “resident” and “residing” fall within the definitions laid down in Article 1(4) of Council Regulation (EC) No 2533/98. In the case of the euro area, the economic territory comprises: (i) the economic territory of the participating Member States; and (ii) the ECB, which is regarded as a resident unit of the euro area. The rest of the world (RoW) comprises the economic territories outside the euro area, i.e. Member States that have not adopted the euro, all third countries and international organisations, including those physically located within the euro area. All EU institutions (*1) are considered to be resident outside the euro area. Consequently, all transactions of participating Member States vis-à-vis EU institutions are recorded and classified as non-euro area transactions in the euro area balance of payments and international investment position statistics. In the cases set out below, residence is determined as follows:
