du 9 novembre 2023

modifiant la décision (UE) 2022/911 relative aux modalités de TARGET-BCE (BCE/2022/22) (BCE/2023/27)

LE DIRECTOIRE DE LA BANQUE CENTRALE EUROPÉENNE,

vu le traité sur le fonctionnement de l’Union européenne, et notamment son article 127, paragraphe 2, premier et quatrième tirets,

vu les statuts du Système européen de banques centrales et de la Banque centrale européenne, et notamment leur article 3.1 et leurs articles 17, 22 et 23,

considérant ce qui suit:

(1)	Le 24 février 2022, le conseil des gouverneurs a adopté l’orientation (UE) 2022/912 de la Banque centrale européenne (BCE/2022/8) (1), qui prévoit la mise en service d’un système de transferts express automatisés transeuropéens à règlement brut en temps réel de nouvelle génération (TARGET).

(2)

L’objectif de ces modifications était: a) de préciser certains aspects relatifs à l’utilisation des marques ayant trait aux services TARGET; b) de préciser davantage l’exigence imposée aux banques centrales de l’Eurosystème (BC de l’Eurosystème) selon laquelle ces dernières sont tenues de s’assurer qu’aucun compte autre qu’un compte TARGET ne soit ouvert aux participants qui réunissent les critères requis pour participer à TARGET, aux fins de fournir des services entrant dans le champ d’application de l’orientation en question; c) d’introduire des mesures visant à atténuer les effets d’une défaillance de la connexion d’une BC de l’Eurosystème à TARGET; d) d’instaurer l’utilisation obligatoire de la solution d’urgence à partir du 21 mars 2025 pour tous les titulaires de comptes espèces dédiés pour le règlement brut en temps réel et les systèmes exogènes participant à TARGET; e) d’apporter des précisions quant aux parties joignables désignées par les systèmes exogènes qui utilisent TARGET Instant Payment Settlement (TIPS); f) d’instaurer la politique de tarification de TIPS ayant fait l’objet d’une révision; g) de procéder à certaines révisions rédactionnelles.

(3)	Il convient que les modifications apportées à l’orientation (UE) 2022/912 (BCE/2022/8) qui ont une incidence sur les modalités de TARGET-BCE soient prises en compte dans la décision (UE) 2022/911 de la Banque centrale européenne (BCE/2022/22) (3).

(4)	Afin de garantir la mise en conformité avec les dispositions de l’orientation (UE) 2023/2415 (BCE/2023/22), il convient que la présente décision entre en vigueur le 20 novembre 2023.

(5)	Il convient donc de modifier la décision (UE) 2022/911 (BCE/2022/22) en conséquence,
