| (1a) Sound protection of the euro against counterfeiting is a key component of a secure and competitive Union economy, and is directly linked to the Union objective of improving the efficient functioning of the economic and monetary union. |
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
|---|---|
| (5) The protection of the European single currency as a public good has a clear transnational dimension, and therefore euro protection goes beyond the interest and the responsibility of individual Member States. Considering the cross-border circulation of the euro and the deep involvement of international organised crime in euro counterfeiting, national protection frameworks should be complemented by Union initiative to ensure homogeneous national and international cooperation, and to face possible emerging transnational risks. Therefore by establishing the exchange, assistance and training programme for the protection of the euro against counterfeiting, this Regulation is necessary, suitable and appropriate for achieving the objectives of the Programme. The Programme should efficiently strengthen cooperation among the Member States and between the Commission and the Member States, without restricting Member States’ capability to protect the euro against counterfeiting. Action at Union level is justified as it clearly assists Member States in collectively protecting the euro and encourages the use of common Union structures to increase cooperation and information exchange between competent authorities. | (5) The protection of the European single currency as a public good has a clear transnational dimension, and therefore euro protection goes beyond the interest and the responsibility of individual Member States. Euro cash is the only means of payment universally accessible to all citizens, regardless of digital access or banking status, and serves as a critical instrument of resilience when electronic payment infrastructure fails. Its legal tender status is dependent upon on the integrity of the currency itself. Counterfeiting strikes directly at that integrity, imposing uncompensated losses on citizens and businesses and eroding trust in the single currency. Considering the cross-border circulation of the euro and the deep involvement of international organised crime in euro counterfeiting, national protection frameworks should be complemented by Union initiative to ensure homogeneous national and international cooperation, and to face possible emerging transnational risks. Therefore by establishing the exchange, assistance and training programme for the protection of the euro against counterfeiting, this Regulation is necessary, suitable and appropriate for achieving the objectives of the Programme. The Programme should efficiently strengthen cooperation among the Member States and between the Commission and the Member States, without restricting Member States’ capability to protect the euro against counterfeiting. Action at Union level is justified as it clearly assists Member States in collectively protecting the euro and encourages the use of common Union structures to increase cooperation and information exchange between competent authorities. |

In particular, in accordance with Regulations (Euratom) No 883/2013 and (Euratom, EC) No 2185/96 the European Anti-Fraud Office (OLAF) may carry out investigations, including on-the-spot checks and inspections, with a view to establishing whether there has been fraud, corruption or any other illegal activity affecting the financial interests of the Union. In accordance with Regulation (EU) 2017/1939, the European Public Prosecutor's Office (EPPO) may investigate and prosecute fraud, corruption and other criminal offences affecting the financial interests of the Union as provided for in Directive (EU) 2017/1371 of the European Parliament and of the Council14 . In accordance with Regulation (EU, Euratom) 2024/2509, any person or entity receiving Union funds is to fully cooperate in the protection of the Union’s financial interests, to grant the necessary rights and access to the Commission, OLAF, the EPPO and the European Court of Auditors and to ensure that any third parties involved in the implementation of Union funds grant equivalent rights. | (9) In accordance with Regulation (EU, Euratom) 2024/2509, Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 883/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council10 , Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 2988/9511 , Council Regulation (Euratom, EC) No 2185/9612 and Council Regulation (EU) 2017/193913, the financial interests of the Union are to be protected through proportionate measures, including the prevention, detection, correction and investigation of irregularities and fraud, the recovery of funds lost, wrongly paid or incorrectly used and, where appropriate, the imposition of administrative sanctions.

| (11a) With euro counterfeiting hotspots identified in third countries and euro counterfeiting assuming an increasingly international dimension, capacity-building and training activities involving the competent authorities of those third countries should be considered essential to the effective protection of the euro and should be further encouraged under the Pericles V programme. |
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
|---|---|
| (11b) In order to fulfil the objectives of this Regulation, the power to adopt acts in accordance with Article 290 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union should be delegated to the Commission in respect of supplementing this Regulation through the adoption of work programmes and in respect of amending the Annex to this Regulation. It is of particular importance that the Commission carry out appropriate consultations during its preparatory work, including at expert level, and that those consultations be conducted in accordance with the principles laid down in the Interinstitutional Agreement of 13 April 2016 on Better Law-Making1a. In particular, to ensure equal participation in the preparation of delegated acts, the European Parliament and the Council receive all documents at the same time as Member States' experts, and their experts systematically have access to meetings of Commission expert groups dealing with the preparation of delegated acts. | |

| (12) Actions eligible for funding, with the aim of promoting exchanges of information and staff, technical and scientific assistance and specialised training, help significantly to protect the Union’s single currency against counterfeiting and counterfeiting-related fraud and therefore to attain a high and equivalent level of protection across the Union, whilst demonstrating the Union’s ability to tackle serious organised crime. In order for the Programme to be future-proof, there is a need to maintain the balance between the different types of actions eligible for funding, and the need to maintain its focus on current and emerging threats, including altered-design banknotes and the distribution of counterfeits through the internet. Eligible actions should also cover potential future developments, such as potential threats to the future digital euro, and potential threats posed by and investigational opportunities offered by artificial intelligence. The purchase of equipment to be used by specialised anti-counterfeiting authorities of third countries for protecting the euro against counterfeiting is also vital to provide for an adequate protection of the euro in third countries, but the purchase of equipment should also be accompanied by the training necessary for its use. Therefore, for this type of action, the purchase of equipment should not be the sole component of the action. | (12) Actions eligible for funding, with the aim of promoting exchanges of information and staff, technical and scientific assistance and specialised training, help significantly to protect the Union’s single currency against counterfeiting and counterfeiting-related fraud and therefore to attain a high and equivalent level of protection across the Union, whilst demonstrating the Union’s ability to tackle serious organised crime. Such actions can also help to address common challenges and the links to money laundering and organised crime. In order for the Programme to be future-proof, there is a need to maintain the balance between the different types of actions eligible for funding, and the need to maintain its focus on current and emerging threats, including altered-design banknotes and the distribution of counterfeits through the internet. Eligible actions should also cover potential future developments, such as potential threats to the future digital euro, and potential threats posed by and investigational opportunities offered by artificial intelligence (‘AI’), such as the use of AI for the generation or manipulation of counterfeit imagery, the evasion of automated detection systems, and the enhancement of investigational and forensic capabilities. The purchase of equipment to be used by specialised anti-counterfeiting authorities of third countries for protecting the euro against counterfeiting is also vital to provide for an adequate protection of the euro in third countries, but the purchase of equipment should also be accompanied by the training necessary for its use.
