The Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs adopted the report by Jean-Paul GAUZÈS (EPP, FR) on the proposal for a Council regulation on denominations and technical specifications of euro coins intended for circulation (recast).
According to the Consultative Working Party of the legal services of the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission, the proposal in question does not include any substantive amendments other than those identified as such in the proposal.
The committee approved the Commission proposal with amendments. It considered that the single coinage system of the Union should help to prevent counterfeiting.
