DECISÃO DO BANCO CENTRAL EUROPEU
de 19 de Março de 2009
relativa à instituição da Comissão do Programa TARGET2-Securities (TARGET2-Securities Programme Board)
(BCE/2009/6)
(2009/338/CE)
O CONSELHO DO BANCO CENTRAL EUROPEU,
Tendo em conta os Estatutos do Sistema Europeu de Bancos Centrais e do Banco Central Europeu (a seguir «Estatutos do SEBC») e, nomeadamente, os seus artigos 3.o-1, 12.o-1 e 12.o-3, 17.o, 18.o e 22.o,
Considerando o seguinte:
(1) |
Na sua reunião de 6 de Julho de 2006 o Conselho do Banco Central Europeu (BCE) decidiu explorar, em colaboração com as centrais de depósito de títulos (CDT) e outros participantes do mercado, a possibilidade da criação de um novo serviço do Eurosistema para a liquidação de títulos, a ser designado Target2-Securities (T2S). Como parte das atribuições que lhe competem de acordo com o disposto nos artigos 17.o, 18.o e 22.o dos Estatutos do SEBC, o Eurosistema prevê que o T2S constitua um serviço baseado numa plataforma única possibilitando a prestação de serviços básicos, neutrais em termos de concorrência e sem fronteiras (pan-europeus) para a liquidação de numerário e títulos, os quais serão oferecidos aos CDT para lhes possibilitar fornecerem aos seus clientes serviços de liquidação DvP (entrega contra pagamento) harmonisados e padronizados, em moeda de banco central, num ambiente técnico integrado. |
(2) |
Em 17 de Julho de 2008 o Conselho do BCE decidiu lançar o T2S e prover os recursos necessários até à sua conclusão. Com base na proposta apresentada pelo Deutsche Bundesbank, Banco de España, Banque de France e Banca d’Italia, o Conselho do BCE decidiu igualmente que o T2S seria desenvolvido e operado pelos quatro bancos centrais nacionais (BCN) acima referidos. |
(3) |
Para organizar o T2S de forma eficaz e eficiente e com o envolvimento tanto dos interessados internos como dos externos, torna-se necessário instituir um órgão simplificado de gestão que elabore propostas sobre questões estratégicas essenciais a submeter ao Conselho do BCE e que execute tarefas de carácter puramente técnico (a seguir «Comissão do Programa T2S»). |
(4) |
De acordo com o princípio da descentralização estabelecido no artigo 12.o-1 dos Estatutos do SEBC, os BCN efectuam operações do âmbito das atribuições do SEBC na medida em que tal seja considerado possível e adequado. Os bancos centrais do Eurosistema irão, por esse motivo, confiar à Comissão do Programa T2S certas tarefas de implementação, de modo a que a mesma goze de plena operacionalidade e possa actuar em representação de todo o Eurosistema. O Comité de Sistemas de Pagamento e Liquidação (CSPL) conservará o seu papel de consultor dos órgãos de decisão do BCE, |
ADOPTOU A PRESENTE DECISÃO:
Artigo 1.o
Comissão do Programa T2S
1. A Comissão do Programa T2S é criada como um órgão simplificado de gestão no Eurosistema, com a missão de elaborar e submeter ao Conselho do BCE propostas sobre questões estratégicas essenciais e de realizar tarefas de carácter exclusivamente técnico relacionadas com o T2S.
2. O mandato da Comissão do Programa T2S, incluindo os seus objectivos, responsabilidades, atribuições, composição, métodos de trabalho e orçamento constam do anexo da presente decisão.
3. Os nomes e currículos dos candidatos a serem considerados para nomeação como membros da Comissão do Programa T2S serão enviados pelos membros do Conselho do BCE à Comissão Executiva de modo a serem recebidos o mais tardar em 8 de Abril de 2009. Com base nessas propostas, em 23 de Abril de 2009 o Conselho do BCE nomeará os membros da Comissão do Programa T2S.
4. A Comissão do Programa T2S começará a funcionar em meados de Maio de 2009.
5. A Comissão do Programa T2S comunicará a sua agenda, um resumo das suas reuniões e a documentação pertinente relativa às mesmas aos membros do CSPL, a fim de permitir a este último fornecer o seu contributo para a Comissão do Programa T2S.
Artigo 2.o
Disposição final
A presente decisão entra em vigor em 20 de Março de 2009.
Feito em Frankfurt am Main, em 19 de Março de 2009.
O Presidente do BCE
Jean-Claude TRICHET
ANEXO
MANDATE OF THE T2S PROGRAMME BOARD
In line with the Treaty and the Statute of the European System of Central Banks and of the European Central Bank, the Eurosystem aims to offer its T2S Services to CSDs in Europe no later than 2013. The T2S services will allow for the core, neutral and borderless, i.e. pan-European, settlement of securities transactions on a delivery-versus-payment (DVP) basis in central bank money, on a single technical platform integrated with the real-time gross settlement systems settling in central bank money of each participating currency.
In view of the provision of the T2S Services, the ECB Governing Council, as ultimate decision-making body of the Eurosystem, established the T2S Programme Board to assist the ECB decision-making bodies in ensuring the successful and timely completion of the T2S programme.
The T2S Programme Board is also based on a T2S Protocol signed by the Eurosystem central banks. Without prejudice to the ultimate decision-making powers of the ECB decision-making bodies, the T2S Programme Board is entrusted with the autonomous performance of clearly defined executive tasks related to the T2S programme. The T2S Programme Board will report directly to the Governing Council regularly. The advisory functions of ESCB committees, in particular the PSSC, LEGCO and the EISC, are not affected by the establishment of the T2S Programme Board. The T2S Programme Board may seek and receive guidance from the Governing Council on T2S related issues in case of uncertainty or doubt.
If and when new issues related to T2S arise, the T2S Programme Board may be assigned further clearly defined executive tasks. In light of the Governing Council’s final competence in T2S issues, any tasks performed by the T2S Programme Board may be addressed by the Governing Council.
OBJECTIVES
Based on this mandate, the T2S Programme Board ensures that the T2S programme is implemented:
— |
in accordance with market expectations, as reflected in the user requirement document (URD) dated 21 May 2008, as amended from time to time, |
— |
within the budget defined by the Governing Council, |
— |
no later than June 2013. |
RESPONSIBILITIES

The Governing Council will appoint the members of the T2S Programme Board upon the proposal of the Executive Board of the ECB.

BUDGET
The T2S Programme Board has its own budget, adopted by the Governing Council and subject to the BUCOM procedures.
