Position of the European Parliament of 27 September 2011 (not yet published in the Official Journal) and decision of the Council of 27 October 2011.
Whereas:
(1) The introduction of the euro has considerably increased the need for cross-border transport
of cash by road. Within the euro area, banks, the large retail sector and other professional
cash handlers should be able to contract with the cash-in-transit (CIT) company that offers
the best price and/or service and to take advantage of the cash services of the nearest
national central bank (NCB) branch or CIT cash centre, even if it is located in another
Member State. Furthermore, a large number of Member States whose currency is the euro
(hereinafter 'participating Member States') have arranged, or may want to arrange for, euro
banknotes and coins to be produced abroad. The very principle of a single currency implies
the freedom to move cash between participating Member States.
(2) Due to the marked differences between Member States' national law, it is generally very
difficult to carry out the professional cross-border transport of euro cash by road between
participating Member States. This situation is in contradiction to the principle of the free
circulation of the euro and is to the detriment of the principle of freedom to provide
services, which are among the fundamental principles of the European Union.
(3) This Regulation is the response to the possible presentation of harmonisation instruments
for the transport of cash, as expressed in Article 38(b) of Directive 2006/123/EC of the
European Parliament and of the Council of 12 December 2006 on services in the
internal market
1
.
(4) With a view to improving CIT security for both the CIT security staff involved and the
public, use of the intelligent banknote neutralisation system (IBNS) should be encouraged
and, after a thorough analysis of the potential impacts by the Commission, should be
capable of being developed in a manner entailing harmonisation of IBNS among the
participating Member States, without prejudice to the rules set out in this Regulation on
applicable transport arrangements.
(5) In view of the particular dangers to the health and life of both CIT security staff and the
general public that are associated with the activity of transporting cash, it is appropriate
that the cross-border transport of euro cash be subject to holding a specific cross-border
CIT-licence. Such a licence should be held in addition to the national CIT licence that is
required in most participating Member States, the form of which this Regulation does not
harmonise. It is, moreover, appropriate that CIT companies established in those
participating Member States which do not have a specific approval procedure for
CIT-companies in addition to their general rules for the security or transport sectors,
demonstrate a minimum experience of 24 months of regularly transporting cash in the
Member State of establishment without infringing national law before they are granted a
cross-border CIT licence by that Member State. Such an approach would increase mutual
confidence between Member States.
1
OJ L 376, 27.12.2006, p. 36.
(6) In order to avoid the duplication of obligations and the introduction of an unnecessarily
burdensome procedure, it is furthermore appropriate to provide that the holder of a
cross-border CIT licence is not required also to hold a Community licence for the
international carriage of goods by road, as laid down in Regulation (EC) No 1072/2009 of
the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 October 2009 on common rules for
access to the international road haulage market
1
.
(7) The professional cross-border transport of euro cash by road between participating
Member States should fully comply with this Regulation or with the law of the
Member State of origin, the host Member State and, if applicable, the Member State
of transit.
(8) This Regulation is designed to allow the professional cross-border transport of euro cash
by road between participating Member States under conditions that guarantee the security
of the transaction, the safety of the CIT security staff involved and of the public and the
free movement of euro cash. In accordance with normal market practice, it is also
appropriate to allow a limited value of non-euro cash to be transported in the same
CIT vehicle.
1
OJ L 300, 14.11.2009, p. 72.
(9) In view of the specific requirements facing cross-border CIT workers, it is appropriate that
they follow a specific cross-border training module as detailed in Annex VI. In order to
avoid unnecessary duplication, the cross-border training module should not include the
elements already covered by compulsory training required for carrying out the domestic
CIT activity.
(10) Due to the specific conditions in the CIT sector, it is difficult to organise safe multi-day
euro cash deliveries. It is therefore appropriate that a CIT vehicle carrying out the
professional cross-border transport of euro cash by road return to its Member State of
origin on the same day.
(11) The Commission should put forward a proposal to amend the definition of 'daytime' and/or
of the minimum required length of ad-hoc initial training laid down in this Regulation in
the event that the social partners at Union level agree that another definition is
more appropriate.
(12) According to Regulation (EC) No 1072/2009, the number of operations that may be carried
out in the host Member State following the international carriage from another
Member State is limited to three cabotage operations within seven days. However, due to
the specific characteristics of the CIT sector, it is normal practice for a CIT vehicle to carry
out a much larger number of euro cash deliveries/pick-ups per day. It is therefore
appropriate to derogate from Regulation (EC) No 1072/2009 by not imposing any limit
upon the number of euro cash deliveries/pick-ups that a CIT vehicle may carry out in a
host Member State during a single day.
(13) National rules governing the behaviour of CIT security staff outside a CIT vehicle and
governing the security of euro cash delivery/pick-up locations should not cover the
possible use of banknote neutralisation systems in combination with the transport of
banknotes in a fully-armoured CIT vehicle not equipped with IBNS.
(14) Article 1(3)(a) of Directive 96/71/EC of the European Parliament and the Council
of 16 December 1996 concerning the posting of workers in the framework of the provision
of services
1
covers posting situations where an undertaking provides transnational services
on its own account and under its direction under a contract concluded between the
undertaking and the party for whom the services are intended.
(15) Considering the specific nature of CIT transport services, there is a need to provide for the
analogous application of Directive 96/71/EC to all cross-border euro cash transport
services in order to provide legal certainty for operators and ensure the practical
applicability of the Directive in that sector.
1
OJ L 18, 21.1.1997, p. 1.
(16) Due to the specificity of the transport activities concerned and the occasional character of
some of those activities, the analogous application of the minimum protection rules laid
down in Directive 96/71/EC should be limited to the minimum rates of pay, including
overtime rates, as referred to in Article 3(1)(c) of that Directive and these should be
guaranteed for the duration of the whole working day in order not to impose an
unnecessary administrative burden on the operators. As referred to in Directive 96/71/EC,
and within the limits of the case law of the Court of Justice of the European Union, the
concept of minimum rates of pay is defined by the national law or practice of the
Member State where the worker is posted. Where, as a result of contracts, regulations,
administrative provisions or practical arrangements, a CIT worker carries out cross-border
transport for more than 100 working days in a calendar year in another Member State, it is
appropriate that the minimum protection rules laid down in Directive 96/71/EC apply to
such a worker mutatis mutandis .
(17) The application of minimum protection rules in the host Member State should be without
prejudice to the application of terms and conditions of employment which are more
favourable to the worker under the law, collective agreement or employment contract in
the worker's Member State of origin.
(18) For the purpose of establishing the relevant minimum protection rules, it is appropriate that
the provisions on information cooperation in Article 4 of Directive 96/71/EC apply
mutatis mutandis . In this respect, Member States should be able to avail themselves of the
administrative cooperation and exchange of information provided for in
Directive 96/71/EC.
(19) This Regulation is without prejudice to the application of Regulation (EC) No 1889/2005
of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 October 2005 on controls of cash
entering or leaving the Community
1
.
(20) In order to take into account technological progress and possible new European standards,
the power to adopt acts in accordance with Article 290 of the Treaty on the Functioning of
the European Union (TFEU) should be delegated to the Commission in respect of the
amendment of the technical rules on standards in regard to the IBNS, the armouring of CIT
vehicles, bulletproof vests and weapons strong-boxes. It is of particular importance that the
Commission carry out appropriate consultations during its preparatory work, including at
expert level and of the social partners. The Commission, when preparing and drawing up
delegated acts, should ensure a simultaneous, timely and appropriate transmission of
relevant documents to the European Parliament and to the Council.
(21) In accordance with the principle of proportionality, as set out in Article 5 of the Treaty on
European Union, this Regulation does not go beyond what is necessary in order to
achieve its objective, namely to facilitate the professional cross-border transport of euro
cash by road between euro-area Member States,

companies established in other Member States may submit applications for a professional
weapons licence or authorisation for their CIT security staff. Federal Member States may
establish contact points at State level. Member States shall inform the applicant of the
outcome of the application within three months from the submission of a complete
application file.
-
6.
In order to make it easier for CIT security staff who are employed by a company
established in another Member State to fulfil the national requirements for obtaining a
professional weapons licence or authorisation, Member States shall provide for validation
of equivalent professional weapons training followed in the Member State where the
applicant's employer is established. If this is not possible, Member States shall ensure that

This Regulation is without prejudice to the application of national rules that require:
(a) cash-transport operations to be notified to the police in advance;
(b) CIT vehicles to be equipped with a device that allows them to be tracked at a remote
distance by the police;
(c) high-value point-to-point transport to be escorted by the police.
Article 9
Rules to ensure the security of the cash delivery/pick-up locations
in the host Member State
This Regulation is without prejudice to the application of national rules governing the behaviour of
CIT security staff outside a CIT vehicle and the security of the locations where cash is

Article 13
Applicable transport arrangements
-
1.
With respect to the cross-border transport of euro banknotes by road carried out on its
territory, each Member State shall allow:
(a) at least one of the options laid down in Article 14, 15, 16, 17 or 18; and
(b) those options laid down in Articles 14, 15, 16, 17 and 18 that are comparable to the
transport arrangements allowed for domestic CIT transport.
Article 17 shall apply to all Member States as regards point-to-point transport.
-
2.
With respect to the cross-border transport of euro coins by road carried out on its territory,
each Member State shall allow:
(a) at least one of the options laid down in Article 19 or 20; and
(b) those options laid down in Articles 19 and 20 that are comparable to the transport
arrangements allowed for domestic CIT transport.
-
3.
Transport which includes both euro banknotes and coins shall be covered by the transport
arrangements for the cross-border transport of euro banknotes.
-
4.
As regards the application of Articles 14, 15, 16 and 18, a Member State may decide that
only end-to-end IBNS may be used on its territory for the servicing of off-premises ATMs
or other types of off-premises cash dispensers, provided that the same rules apply for
domestic CIT transport.
-
5.
Participating Member States shall notify the Commission of the transport arrangements
which are applicable in accordance with this Article. The Commission shall publish a
corresponding information notice in the Official Journal of the European Union . The
applicable transport arrangements shall take effect one month after publication of the
information notice. Participating Member States shall use the same procedure when new
transport arrangements become applicable pursuant to this Article.
-
6.
If a host Member State or a Member State of transit finds that an IBNS displays serious
deficiencies as regards the technical characteristics normally required, namely that the cash
can be accessed without triggering the neutralisation mechanism or the IBNS has been
modified after homologation in such a way that it no longer fulfils the homologation
criteria, it shall inform the Commission and the Member State that granted the
homologation and may ask that new tests be carried out on that IBNS. Pending the results

AEX II
INTELLIGENT BANKNOTE NEUTRALISATION SYSTEM (IBNS)
I. Definitions and general provisions
An IBNS may contain either banknotes (packaged or unpackaged) or one or several cassettes for
ATMs or other types of cash dispensers.
An IBNS must have been homologated in a participating Member State in order to be used for
cross-border transport of euro cash under this Regulation. The homologation must be made
according to an existing European specific standard. As long as there is no such standard, the
homologation must be made in accordance with this Annex.
II. IBNS approval procedure
(a) In order to be homologated, the IBNS must have passed various tests in a test laboratory
that has been approved or recognised by a participating Member State. It must furthermore
be accompanied by instructions for its use, which indicate the operating procedures and
conditions that ensure the effectiveness of the destruction or neutralisation of
the banknotes.
These tests must make it possible to ascertain that the following technical characteristics of
the IBNS are satisfactory:
(i) Main required functions of the monitoring system
-
-
permanently to monitor and record the instructions concerning the conditions
for access to, and use of, the IBNS,
-
-
continuously to verify compliance with these instructions and detect anomalous
situations,
-
-
automatically and immediately to neutralise the banknotes in the event of
non-compliance with the instructions, detection of anomalous situations or
opening of the container outside the pre-programmed time periods
and/or locations.
(ii) Location where the monitoring system may be programmed and influence of CIT
security staff on how the IBNS operates
An IBNS must be programmed only in a secured area. An end-to-end IBNS must
only be programmed in a secure location.
CIT security staff must not have any means whatsoever of influencing the operation
of the IBNS outside the pre-programmed time periods and/or locations. However,
where there is a time-delay system for triggering the neutralisation, the CIT security
staff may re-initiate the time delay once.
(iii) Location where the IBNS may be opened (for end-to-end systems)
An IBNS mustonly be opened in the pre-programmed destinations.
(b) The IBNS must be retested every five years, even where the national approval is issued for
an unlimited period. If the new tests are not conclusive, the homologation ceases to be
valid for cross-border transport under this Regulation.
(c) In order to pass the tests, one of the following results must be achieved upon performance
of the tests:
-
-
it was not possible to access the banknotes and there was no damage to the IBNS, the
mechanism of which remained operational, or
-
-
the IBNS was damaged but it was not possible to access the banknotes without
triggering the neutralisation system.
III. Testing procedures
The method used to carry out the tests and the standards establishing the result which the systems
tested must achieve are laid down in this Annex. However, adjustments may be made at national
level so as to bring them into line with the existing test protocols followed by the laboratories in
each Member State. In order for the IBNS to be homologated, the IBNS-manufacturer must ensure
that the results of the testing procedures in this Annex are transmitted to the
homologating authority.
(a) Test of IBNS' resistance to different attack scenarios
Member States must carry out six of the various tests simulating attack scenarios , while the other
tests may also be carried out in accordance with the applicable national rules.
For each of the tests carried out, the result must be a pass within the meaning of point II(c).
-
-
compulsory tests:
1 cutting of the power supply;
2 breaking into the container;
3 opening the container by destructive means (e.g. sledgehammer);
4 rapid cutting ('guillotining');
5 immersion in liquid;
6 gradual and immediate exposure to extreme temperatures (hot and cold): e.g. cooling
in liquid nitrogen and heating in a preheated oven.
-
-
recommended tests that may also be carried out:
7 resistance to firearms (e.g. with 12-bore cartridges);
8 use of chemicals;
9 free drop;
10 exposure to significant electromagnetic surges;
11 exposure to significant electrostatic surges.
(b) Effectiveness of neutralisation of banknotes
The neutralisation processes currently used are staining, chemical destruction and pyrotechnical
destruction. Since technological developments may occur, the list of processes used is
non-exhaustive and purely indicative.
Following any unauthorised attempt to access the banknotes via the various forms of attack, the
banknotes must be either destroyed or stained. A minimum of three tests must be carried out.
100 % of the banknotes must be irreversibly neutralised. It must furthermore be apparent for any
holder of the banknotes that they have been subject to neutralisation.
A minimum of 10 % of the surface area of both sides of each banknote must be stained if the
banknotes are in safe-bags. If the banknotes are not in safe-bags, a minimum of 20 % of the surface
area of both sides of each banknote must be stained. For destruction systems, a minimum of 20 % of
the surface area of each banknote must be destroyed in both cases.
(c) Content of the tests for banknotes' resistance to cleaning for IBNS using staining
For such 'cleaning', use must be made of different products or combinations of products. Different
scenarios must be arranged so as to vary the temperature and duration of cleaning. Two procedures
must be used for these cleaning tests:
-
-
cleaning must be carried out immediately after staining, and
-
-
cleaning must be carried out 24 hours after staining.
These tests must be carried out on a representative sample of real banknotes used in the euro area.
One of the following results must be obtained at the end of these tests:
-
-
the cleaning leads to destruction of the banknotes,
-
-
the cleaning leaves ink visible on a surface area of at least 10 % of each banknote (density
test of the ink used),
-
-
the cleaning leads to the mutilation of both the banknote's original colours and its
security features.
IV. Safety guarantees for the systems used
Chemical substances released from IBNS in order to neutralise banknotes may be subject to
Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council
of 18 December 2006 concerning the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of
Chemicals (REACH) and establishing a European Chemicals Agency
1
. That Regulation addresses
risks to human health and the environment of substances manufactured, imported or used on their
own, in a mixture, or in an article.
1
OJ L 396, 30.12.2006, p. 1.
In order for the IBNS to be homologated, the manufacturer must verify whether it has to register or
notify substances contained in its products or to communicate information on safe use to its
customers. The manufacturer may also have legal obligations resulting from the inclusion of these
substances in the candidate list of substances of very high concern or in the list of substances
subject to authorisation set out in Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006. These obligations refer not only
to the listed substances on their own or in mixtures, but also to their presence in articles.
A certificate must be supplied to the homologating authority of the Member State by the IBNS
manufacturer, which includes the results of this verification and which lists the substances or
elements used to ensure destruction or neutralisation of the banknotes and attests that they do not
pose a serious risk to health in the case of inhalation by, or contact with, the skin of the CIT security
staff or of the NCB staff. The certificate must furthermore indicate possible precautionary measures
to be taken. The homologating authority must transmit the certificate to the NCBs of the
participating Member States with respect to IBNS homologated by it.
To this effect, the certificate may include an analysis of the risks of exposure to the chemicals,
i.e. maximum permissible duration of exposure for a quantity to be determined.
