With work in the EU Council already underway for several months, on Monday 12 February the European Parliament’s rapporteur Stefan Berger (EPP, German) submitted his long-awaited draft report on the European Commission’s proposal (see EUROPE B13211A11) to provide a legislative framework for the digital euro, should it be launched by the Governing Council of the European Central Bank (ECB). In his draft, Mr Berger proposes to introduce a series of changes to the initial proposal.
